replies: text: "Cords" of wood are used in the UK, and I think Europe too. The point about a cord of wood is that it's a very simple measure - the overall size of the stack, rather than an impractical attempt to measure or weigh the exact volume of timber.

message: A German speaker was quoted on a Hearth.com forum.  "The name Holz Hausen doesn’t exist!  A Holz Haus would be a house built out of wood. A Holz Haufen is just wood thrown into a pile. The right word for this structures is Holz Miete and they don’t have a center pole."  
I would like to see some data and a defination of "dry wood".  Generally speaking, humidity, air movement and wood surface area are the variables that dry wood. Guess the claim in 3 months could happen in a dry windy climate environment in the middle of the summer.--Rcollman (talk) 01:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: To your first point: A picture search for "American Holz Hausen" reveals several pictures of round wood stacks (for storage), which is what the article says. "Holz Hausen" is apparently an American idiom, with merely a German etymology. It should not be understood or treated as a German phrase. Yes, the German "Holzhaufen" would be = "pile of wood" and "Holzhaus" would be = "timber house", but here apparently some words escaped their original meaning or were misattributed/mistranslated. They became loan words and received their own meaning in English. It happens. Language lives. Definitions change. And that's not an "Urban Myth". --145.40.208.28 (talk) 20:15, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Urban Myth  

message: I decided to jump in with a major edit because I agree with the comment that this page was all about the United States. I burn wood in New England to heat my house and have lived in a few different cultures around the world where firewood was used for staying warm, cooking and ceremonial purposes.  I got rid of the "how to", which are nice ideas but not always factual.  Other should feel free to edit my edits. --69.205.10.60 (talk) 13:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Your article on Holz Hausen's is perpetuating a myth, in that they accelerate seasoning of firewood over standard wood ricks or rows. Yes, they are sturdy, store large volumes of wood and look great, but they do not accelerate wood seasoning - on the contrary, wood ricks / rows are superior to HH's for faster seasoning of firewood.
The referenced site claiming this has no proof of such a claim - I did a scientific experiment and published the results dis-proving or busting this myth, which can be seen here:

thread_title: Major edit

message: I burn wood and I can recognize this article could be greatly expanded. I do not have time but I wanted to leave some ideas here. The German Wikipedia article is a good model. Theses topics are probably mentioned elsewhere but the historical progression of burning firewood was a fire ring, fireplace (of different types), wood stove, wood boiler. The invention of the chimney dramatically changed how houses were used and built. A comparison of energy values can be greatly expanded. Efficiency could be discussed? Kiln dried firewood is not discussed. The topic of the spread of invasive species should be given more weight. Methods of igniting wood could be mentioned. Qualities of certain species like ash being better to burn as a green wood than say red oak (seasoned wood is always better but not always available).Jim Derby (talk) 01:14, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
