Yeah, I'm that guy. Makes for a neater, more efficient woodshed. Our stove will take 21" or so.
I'm seeing 16" listed, too. After years of people commenting on my stove taking tiny pieces I'm surprised to see there must be a lot of stoves that take even shorter pieces today. Timber cutters mark their cuts. I have a well trained eye when it comes to dimensions, but I've learned it's best to lay out my cuts. That inch or two difference may not matter in my stove, but it prevents me from getting a fifth row stacked in my woodshed. An extra stack 10'L x 6'H is a fair amount more of dry wood.

So I got my barn moved, finally. After some patching up it will be time to move back in. I had stuff spread all over this place. My screen house was packed with wood shop tools and truck parts. Soon I'll be moving everything out.

This cherry slab wood I moved out of the screen house to stack on my hard working little shortbed project. I just listed it for sale and that's how I came across these pictures
