How many grams of fire to make 88000 calories?
To heat from 40F to 200F with 10 pounds of milk is 1600 degreelbs and we can heat 16000 degreebls with 10 buffaloxen of firewood, so, conveniently, we know this process takes one clean buffalox of firewood. Pretty trivial in imperial* units.
I agree of course with the use of metric (even if it's fun to take the piss), but you've arrived at an equivalently meaningless result in either case. Now if you want to use a calculator and go from calories to kWh, it's a different story.
It makes me so proud to now be a part of the Imperial system, I may even switch to using it. ๐
Not sure what you use to measure with it besides firewood, but hey, it's imperial: the more units the merrier.
That's fine, we buy firewood every year, Now I will absolutely prioritize a dealer using Buffalox units for it.
