    Got some more stacked:
    Cold morning, wood was slippery, the tongs helped a lot.

    I like that first pic of the frosty split. Visual evidence for your moisture loss in winter test!

    Wonderful pics . I love the way those mountains look. That's a perfect postcard. It's looks we might be getting our first taste of snow or some kind of mixture on Saturday. Nice work = normal for you

    No, about 3 cord in the picture. Roughly 1/3 the way there.

    Need the stack to be about 8 cord.
    I stack this stack for 10 months , then this wood goes to the shed (usually in Aug.)
    Replaces what I use this burn season.
    It is stacked real loose. So the 8 is closer to 7 cords when stackrf tight in the wood shed.

    Not sure I have the 8 cord, but if needed, I'll get more in early Spring

    Couple pics from today's splitting & stacking

    Smoke ran me away from the splitter, grabbed some dry stuff from the burn pit stacks to get
    some flames.

    I just want to know did you remove those splits for the picture of the mnts or did you leave the dip on purpose.

    Ran out of splits to finish the row.
    It did make a nice dip to frame the mountains
