    Looks good Kevin. Just make sure you leave some air space between the multi tiered rows or wood may get moldy/fungi etc. I learned the hard way! :picard:

    I try to only go 6 rows deep with about a foot in between the 3rd and 4th row.
    3 rows just fit to good on sheet metal skids or 3 normal skids side by side not to do:emb:

    Looking good up there, glad you posted. We are a big family here, we drove from GA to MI in 2019 just to meet some of these salty ones...like amateur cutter Backwoods Savage Eric VW Midwinter Chazsbetterhalf (Molly and Jill are really sweet though) Chaz plus many more, I think about 70 attended that year. Even had a member and his dad from Australia fly up. leoht so nice to meet them.
    Looks like you have it figured out. You will love having that stove and seeing the heating bill go down.

    I stack several rows together and have never had a problem with it. However I can understand some areas having problems with different weather than we have. I have stacked as many as 21 rows together with not a problem.

    That was the largest gathering of hoarders at our GTG that year and no doubt the largest gathering of hoarders anywhere...so far.

    I used to use 48" wide pallets and triple row. Now ill hang 16" splits off a couple inches to allow for a gap for center row or use 36/40" pallets and double row. Depends on what size pallets i can scrounge.

    Pallets are one thing I don't have to worry about...I work at a machine shop so we go through a ton anywhere from 4 foot to 16 foot long...I'm building a run in shelter for the cows right now out of some
