    Looking good Dave! Hope the beer hit the spot last night. I do have a question for you and I'm sure it's been discussed before. Just wondering what type of material do you use underneath your wood pallets and how well has it held up?

    Dave, how long to you let your white birch dry before your ready to burn it? Looks like you get a good amount of air flow through your stacks
