    bogydave , you do have some of the cleanest, neatest stacks I've seen. And you've got a choo choo! Enjoy your 24 seconds, any plans for that time?

    Stacks look great as usual....

    On the bright side, the days are done getting shorter and will now slowly get longer!! We're over "da hump"....

    Sun vs No sun
    Even with the sun at a low 5.5° angle, must be a watt or 2 hitting the south side :)

    As I'm B S ing with the other guys at work in the dark morning hours waiting for the boss to hand out his orders, someone mentions that this is the day that we will start having more daylight.

    My thoughts go instantly to bogydave and his daylight watch posting! (I didn't even mention it)

    Isn't that an admission of some sort of addiction or something?

    Just remember bogydave that as the days grow longer the cold will grow stronger. Time to get out the clubs?

    :rofl: :lol: LOL :rofl: :lol:
    I actually thought about it,
    just couldn't figure out an easy way to do it

    Wisdom prevailed,
    way too much effort for such little gain.

    :stacke: Maybe a wood stacking class / seminar ?????? :stacke:

    Folks pay to come & learn how to stack wood.
    LOL :D

    You have some great looking wood stacks.

    I always stack my wood with the bark up because it helps to prevent some of the rain from soaking into the exposed split part of the wood. I notice all of your wood is with the bark down.

    Look closer Mag Craft. The top row, the one exposed to rain or snow, is bark side up.

    I try to stack all levels of my stacks, bark side up. But, that's me.

    Very nice. Now tell me does your stove load North to South or South to North? This wood make a big difference in how you are stacking.:picard:

    Wood stacking seminar? Interesting thought but it seems most hate the stacking part so doubtful there would be many takers. But the few of us could have some fun anyway.
