Annual migration of wood ‘25/‘26

Set off the high temp alarm?

 

That’s enough of that for now. Friday night fun time!

 

Same here, I look forward to seeing the slide every year.

 

Looks great.

 

No, I meant that I didn't sweep the floor as I piled wood into the wood room. I cleaned it up as it was exposed throughout the burning season.

I didn't have trouble with the high temp alarm last season.

At least, I never heard it. The few times it did go off, 99 lbs told me "Can't you hear that sound from the furnace?" I usually don't wear my hearing aids around the house....

 

Just in time for a 1:30 soccer match and a 4:30 baseball game.

 

Great. Looks very neat

 

You are kind! The wood that I get to make my firewood out of is what’s left after the logger cuts the marketable logs out. Making perfectly awesome splits would leave a lot of waste. Other than you folks there are 6 people that might see the wood in the basement and they don’t care what it looks like because they know they will be warm this winter!

 

My deck rack is getting filled.


Some ugly ash "rescued" from a friend's place 6/23. Should be fine shoulder wood.

I'll top it off tomorrow. Why keep the fun to one day?

We'll still be burning assorted chunklies for a while yet, as we have morning fires. Just need to keep kindling available. No shorof that either: fallen branches, pine cones, sheets of dry bark.

 

Filled it up yesterday.

 

Looks great, Mike

 

I don't know why but I'll always mound up the pile a little bit from center to the ends. Probably because even if it is under cover of deck above, there is still some snow that accumulates on top of the covered piles. Then, when the sun comes out, any melting will drain off instead of re-freezing into ice.

The wood I pile outside the basement door usually doesn't get touched anyway......just more of an insurance policy so I don't have to dig the main stacks of firewood out of the snowbank!

 

Understood. Never had a puddling issue. Snow and any ice is easily removed. I'm sure the next reload will have the rack a bit higher/mounded.

 

I always close out the burning season by topping off the rack under my deck, so I won’t have to “migrate” any firewood for several more weeks. I will however have to make myself a new indoor rack. I had been using this crude rack made of pallet wood until my Husky decided to urinate on it back in mid April


I ended up burning that rack in the outdoor pit after that. I’ll make another one out of better wood, and polyurethane it.

 

I wasn't making a recommendation to you on how to stack. Just me and my morning ramblings......

 

My first thought was that your Husqvarna had leaked on it.

 

Ramble on!!
