    A little over a cord of white ash. One and a half truckloads to cutting partner's stacks and the rest to fill a hole in the stack shown. Between work, rain, hot weather and other stuff it took a few sessions to get this stacked for '15 - '16 season.

    Nice stack! Makes my pile look weak. Here's a pickup load of ash from the park by work. image.jpg

    The more I work and burn ash, the more I appreciate it. That's a good sized truckload.

    Nice stack you've got. Looks like a great open spot to dry too....:thumbs:

    Yep ,, open space that gets sun too. Except for one double, the rows here are separated by enough room to drive the truck between. I hope these fat-ash splits will be dry enough after two summers and a winter.

    I've heard ash called kings wood. Cause it dries so fast. The king got the good fast drying wood. May be b.s. Anyway I like ash. It does seem to dry faster than some.
