    Welcome Firefighter .. Glad to have you with us:handshake:.

    Mike was making a joke but since your new. I will throw in a little back story. We love pictures, so there is a teasing amongst us of "pics or it didn't happen!"

    So if you have questions throw them out.. Oh pics can be anything, stacks, saws, splitters, pets, whatever you got that you want to share.

    Little over 6 cord. Good job:yes:

    Firefighter are those rows on ground? not trying to be critical, but you will find your wood dries better and less rot on bottom rows if you can get it off ground. I used to use landscape timbers and if I didn't weed wack you would never know they were there!!

    WElcome to the forum Firefighter. Looks like you are a hoarder!

    If you can't get skids or timbers, the next time you go out into the woods, pick some straight limbs or just simply cut some saplings to lay down. That also is the least expensive way to go. We have done that for years and it works very nicely.

    I really appreciate all the good information here I take all I can get I grew up with wood heat in a old 2 story farm house and the stove was a smoke dragon and we used kerosene heaters also to keep warm this will be a all knew learning experience for me with the new style epa stoves with secondary burns plus a really well insulated house and I can't wait to fire her up :D

    As Backwards Savage mentions -

    You can just see the saplings under my racks

    I should have gotten thicker saplings, but so long as there is air under them, you are good to go.
