    I picked up some 330 gallon IBC Totes at a good price for drying and dumping my custom cut firewood this year. Normally I buy and resell most of my firewood but more and more customers need smaller cut 14" and some some want larger up to 24" long. Custom lengths are an up charge. I have been selling firewood for 13 years now and it's one of my businesses along with land clearing, selective logging, drainage and light grading. Split, stack in totes, let dry then dump into the dump trailer with the Bobcat and a set of forks.

    They keep the wood nice and clean and make for quick loading.

    My brother made a 4’ x 4’x 3’ metal box on a SSQA plate. Two rows of wood in that box equals a face cord. Easy to dump, loading it by hand only takes a few minutes and the trash is left behind.

    Those are the 275 gallon correct? 330 gallon is the other size.

    Those he has are the 330 gal. They hold approximately .33 cords. The 275 hold
    .3 cords. There's 8" difference in height

    See Brad, this guy goes out of his way to tip over his stacks. I think we deserve partial credit for that idea :rofl: :lol:
