Firewood Ledger
Homesteadweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Wood warms you twice, the saying goes, but only if it has had its year or two to dry — and nobody remembers which stack went up when. The Firewood Ledger remembers: each load or stack, the wood type, when it was stacked, whether it is seasoned, and notes. Burn the stack that is ready; leave the young one to its patience.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
How do I know when firewood is seasoned and ready to burn?
Most hardwood wants a year or two split and stacked in the wind; the ledger holds each stack's date so the arithmetic is done for you. Look for cracked ends and grey colour, then tick the Seasoned box with a clear conscience.
Why record the wood type for each stack?
Because woods behave differently: oak seasons slowly and burns long, birch is quick both ways, pine spits. Knowing what each stack is tells you what to burn on a hard January night versus a mild October evening.
Does the Firewood Ledger work offline, out by the woodpile?
Yes — one HTML file, runs in the browser without any connection, no account, nothing sent anywhere. It keeps working through the kind of weather that takes the internet down, which is exactly when you are out fetching wood.
