I recently finished my second pallet of firewood, and must admit it is a very efficient method for storing wood. (Picture later) It took a while to get the stacking procedure figured out, so it was not as fast as single row with supports stacking, but I got faster as I went. To prevent rotting, and improve air circulation, I set the pallets on bricks; one on each corner and one in the middle. I will top cover with clear plastic later. My only concern is how well the center will season, but hopefully raising it up on bricks will help.
Pallet size I would not worry about about the middle drying. We don't have any problems with the center drying. These stacks are also 10' long.
It all dries up good like Backwoods Savage said, especially when you get to the three year plan. The first pic is Oak and a little White Birch vintage April 2015. I'll burn that in 2018/19. Second pic is a mix of everything cut up this spring that will be 2020 ish
the wood in the center of this pic has been burnt. all the rest to right and left of center ill start burning this year All wood compliments of Hurricane Sandy. Wood is 2 pallets deep
These long term stacks are really nice to look at. I find the bends in the pallets pretty interesting too. The weight of the stack is obvious!
FatBoy85 it's all red oak and the pallets are all oak too! I don't use the softwood pallets to stack wood. The softwood ones I put under the oak ones with wood to keep them off the ground
I look at this and think about the two cords I got. Small potatoes compared to yours! I do love the heat though! When you put them in your stove, you tend to put the bark side down on the hot coals?
No , That'd be " instant inferno" When loading a hot stove I go Wood side down gives me a few more second to get in a full load
I thought the same thing! Gonna have my arm length gloves for stuffing, wanna keep the arm hair to keep warm. Thanks
