Our local OPE dealer gave us those. He had ordered mower deck spindles to resell. They were shipped in those from chiner...
Those crates come from a manufacturing company , don't know what they manufacture and don't know what were in them to start with, I originally found it on Craigslist few years ago, I just go out back and pick them up .
They have a bunch of different wood things out there pallets and if I want some long boards for something, I take some of these trough lookin things , they have out there, I have to cut them to fit in the trailer though cause they're 16 foot long
Looks nice and neat. If I had the room I would do the same thing. I just built a covered area after storing under a tarp for 10 years. I got really good at stacking the chunks and uglies in with the sticks. Still do it but now have a better setup. In the words of Homer Simpson "plum, madrona and oak mmmmmhhhhhh"
Thanks. I picked up a 260 a couple years ago that had barely been used for pennies on the dollar. Works great behind the tractor, but the Polaris doesn't like pulling it loaded. So I picked up that 248 to use behind the Polaris. Its the perfect size for us.
I just leave them in a pile by the splitter for now, we bring a couple 5 gallon buckets full in every day, and use them to fill the ends and top of the tempwood firebox for the overnight burn. Thanks to the draft tube and cookstove lid design, you really can't fill the sides or right up to the lid otherwise. They usually leave a nice thick bed of coals in the morning, which is easy to burn down by just turning draft covers wide open, the downdraft design forces the fresh air straight down into the coals, and they get crazy hot in seconds.
Same here!! I started with just wood pallets and a tarp. Evolved to PT racks up on cinder blocks (because the termites tear through my wood pallets) with metal roof panels as top covers, then a small woodshed, to a large pole barn. I need to figure a system for my uglies. As mentioned they are just a pita to stack but burn great. I do have a metal tote but reluctant to cut the plastic container for a lid. I am saving it for water from the Zombie apocalypse, LOL!
I cut my lone tote bladder in half to make a bin last week. However, when I slid the remaining half down over a full tote of Split wood that works so good, I’ll do that with them instead. Back to the drawing board… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I keep the shorties in 2 bins made from pallets. I usually rotate from one to another when I burn them, then I can refill in the spring. I take a couple totes in once in a while. The uglies that don't stack well go in the middle of two stacked rows when I fill a rack.
