Most was cut last winter. The red oak that Scotty Overkill took down for us was split and stacked by Dec. 2015 and the rest was cut into rounds and stacked in Jan. 2016, then split and stacked in the fall. Except for some poplar that was split when I got the splitter in Jan.
3 to 4 Last 3 years I didn't light the stove till thanksgiving. This year I'm trying to use all wood heat, so I'll use more. I've been getting kiln-dried cut-offs also
I can understand the thing about, "doing it all my life this way." It is just the part of not learning there is a much better way that I don't understand.
Tim, you might consider doing just a bit of adjusting on the top cover. I always sort of cringe when I see water running over the wood like that. No, it is not a sponge, normally but over a period of a year or three a lot of water will get into that wood. It will still burn as it dries out but never will burn as well. On the other hand, that is a nice looking stack!
