They know. The "little more" is because they'd rather give you more than hear any bitching.

22" is reasonable. how many pieces of 22" can you carry into the house repeatedly?

wouldn't you just carry fewer? just carry the same mass
You'd have to be careful with longer cuts buying in bulk as the longer cut the more air gaps if just randomly thrown in not stacked.
Lots of people have those outside boilers around here that can take 24" -30"long. Only problem is can wife or small person lift 30" by 18" -20" dia?

16 works good for us.
Real question is what type of wood are you getting

Many folks upcharge for anything other than 16". A consideration is that most fireplaces are their own unique construction and some of them draw really poorly. I would rather have a smaller fire in the center of the flue if that is the case with yours.

Yeah piled on a truck didn't make sense, I thought of that after but didn't go back and change it.. But that's why I gave the example of a stacked row later, it makes more sense there.

Well it would contain less air so I’d think that it’s gotta be more...
I’ve heard that 180 cubic feet of 16” wood thrown in (not stacked) is a cord.

The flu is properly sized for the dimensions of the firebox and is new construction. Nice tall chimney so it should pull nicely. I dont care about air gaps in the cord or paying an extra $50/cord for longer cuts. I'm not burning for heat. Dont care Bout the weight/size either.
Just seems like common sense to use 26-30" logs vs double wide 16".
Too much pyro in the genes to burn 2/3 little logs in there.

Firewood length
Buy 2 cords. 1 cut at ~30” the other at 16” and see what you prefer

This is a thread you post in if you are really bored at work. I've got some things to do today so I won't be posting in it.

typically the up-charge is for the smaller lengths. its all about cycle time.
