One building technique with many names

It is a wall building technique commonly used to build homes, barns, saunas — just about any structure that uses walls above grade. Created by laying whole or split debarked wood, width-wise in a bed of mortar, the widths of the walls are equal to the length of the cordwood. Typical wall widths vary from 8″ to 24″.

It requires planning, perseverance and patience. To start this cordwood blog I would like to offer some basic thoughts about cordwood and then provide some serious cordwood eye candy meant to interest and inspire.

(rocket stoves forum at permies) One thing that the families and the producers all noticed was how long it took to heat water to do dishes and wash clothes. It took everyone by surprise, including the historians. Yup, I used to be one of those that liked to do the dishes immediately after every meal. Now we do them once or twice a day, depending on the number of people here and the volume of stuff to be washed. If you have a large container of water on the stove the whole time you're cooking, the water is hot by the end of the meal and there's no waiting.
