    That is so, so _________??? I mean most of us touch the dang wood 6-7 times to process and you sir are rolling on velvet with hardwood honey holes. Wow, good for you! Pound for pound, red oak is hard to beat, especially in that manner.

    I thought my operation was sweet, my wood delivered and mostly cut to 16" and all we do is split and stack. Just so you know you Suck! Now what are you going to do with all the free time you have. Hey, I got an idea why don't you see if you can get them to deliver the wood and stack it for you as well ? :D

    Just think of how all those will stack soo nicely in the stove... Have you looked at the inside dimensions of your stove is? To maximize the number that can fit...:campfire:

    That's what I was thinking. It's there any chance you can fit a block in the stove as is without splitting or cutting any of it?

    I could fit one in there but I just wonder how long it would take one of those big boys to dry. My strategy with these is I have 5 pallets that I halved, 18 pallets I quartered, and I'm going to sixth 8 pallets. That should be a nice variety of sizes. Then I'm going to start all over next spring and do it again.

    no I haven't. I would imagine just eyeballing I can get probably 6 quarters in there. I should get some very nice long burn times.

    So what are those blocks? Is that from a mill that cuts those for timber framing or something?

    Yep, just mill cut-offs. Mostly cores that have imperfections that I would assume aren't prime for making boards.
