i put most of my photos up with iphone. always thought it was rather easy. what are you missing? mine isnt any different than uploading from computer.
I should have taken pictures of the wood I stacked my first year. It was in my detached garage, and I didn't know what "cribbing" was. So I just stacked spits up leaving the ends parallel. They were probably at an 80° angle and 6' high, and stood like that for 2 years! Tight stacking (and no wind/rain/critters and solid ground) do make for stable stacks.
That's weird. On my iphone I just click upload file when responding and I can choose a pic from my camera roll. Works for me
Don't know about any jenga but I do stack a bit loosely and have never tried to stack really tight except in the stove.
Dang, forgot to post these pictures in my last post. So here goes. In the first 2 pictures, probably most members have seen these over time. That wood was cut in the winter of 2008-2009 then split and stacked in April 2009. We will be burning the last of that wood this year and some of it is already on our porch. As you can tell in the following pictures, we just do not try for tight stacking. Leaving it rather loose does help the air circulation. Because we keep our wood stacked for years before burning it, we could no doubt get away with tight stacks but we do just fine this way. Also, in over 50 years of doing this, we've had exactly one stack (actually part of a stack) go down a bit. Still not sure what caused it. Suspected a woodchuck but there were no holes. Perhaps there was just more frost heave that time. Also, we do not tie each row together with the next as I've never seen a need for it. I'm betting though in some areas and with some soils, it is a good idea and certainly can do no harm.
Doing well. I just sealed my stack this morning, let it dry for 6 hours, cleaned the boiler out, and fired it up. Up to 175 quickly. It is now charging the tank as I sit here waiting for soccer game to start! Yes!
