Wood Quantity?

[jlabolt]

For those of you out there with trailer rigs in the area of 30" x 7' or so, how much would do you consume in an average cook? I know this is going to vary from smoker to smoker depending on design, quality of construction, and a variety of other factors. I'm just trying to get a general consensus so I'll have a roundabout estimate of how much wood I'll need to keep stockpiled. I cut all my own wood and I like to have it down, at minimum, 6 months before I burn it.

When I cooked on a Lang, once I got a small hot fire going and the pit up to temp ( 230° ) and settled in, I could figure about 1 stick for about every hour I was cooking.

The wind/weather has always been the biggest factor in determining wood usage on my pits. All in all it averages about 1 to 2 average fireplace sized splits about every 45min-60mins to maintain 235°-250° in either of my larger offsets.

5 sticks every 2 hrs at 235-250*
