    These chunks are 18 inches long and beyond my lifting these days. The largest I'am cutting in half ( no need to get hurt here and no great rush as this wood is 3-4 years out ). Once this is done I will split and stack.
    Heat wave here today 98 degrees when I got home.

    98°-Sheesh! You got the right plan in place-that's too hot to bust your hump on firewood.

    Yep that would be something I would not lift these days either. Like you have done in the picture I just cut them in half.
    I just got about a cord of Elm and they were about 24" across. I cut them all in half before lifting. I do not have any back problems and do not want any.

    Props to you for working in this heat. Awesome stacks of rounds and half rounds. Red oak is my fav.
