Heck we have had all these pics of wood piles. Should have one on "housekeeping the woodpile" too. I spent a couple hours today policing up the pile, replacing pallets that were shot and picking up all the bark and debris underneath. Wood has been selling briskly already and the pallets in the pics were full a month ago. The grass got beat up from all the truck and trailer traffic in the last week but isn't too bad. It was cold a week ago and rather than golfing I cut a couple loads. Cut some new stuff Obligatory dog pics This guy was in the bird feeder a couple days ago.
Firewood Bandit Looking good- especially that buck! How do you charge? By palletized amount, truck load, trailer load?
Great pics...you got a little of everything going on back there. How much firewood do you generally sell each season?
I call it "wood management". With the wood oven I'm constantly moving and loading wood around to get the best dry wood ready for the next firing.. Nice stacks by the way
I think it is a good idea to keep the bark trash and stuff picked up so vermin like skunks don't take up residence.
I can certainly agree about keeping the bark and debris from around the stacks when they are in your yard. I usually leave it all (stacked a long ways from the house) and my wife most times picks it up. She bends easier than I do. I don't use pallets and cleanup is one of the reasons. I also don't like the way they look and have seen too many people try to walk on a pallet and it breaks. Many times folks get hurt that way. I made one exception a couple years ago and tried using one of the big pallets that pallet Pete gave me. Did not like stacking on it so after that wood is burned in a couple years, no more pallets under the wood here. I find it much easier and think it is better to just cut a couple saplings in the woods and lay them down. Even soft maple saplings will last for many, many years. I'm still using some that were cut and used 8 years ago. Only a few of them from that year were thrown out last year because they got a bit punky. We have several cherry and those have shown hardly any sign of degrading. Geeze Bandit, please don't take this wrong as I'm not trying to find fault with you using the pallets. Just pointing out that I don't and why. I know many on this forum use them but perhaps I can give some others a different idea of how to stack the wood.
That's what I'm sayin! Only things my feeder attracts is birds and squirrels. Nice clean up job bandit. I cleaned up the bark pile around the splitter last weekend.
For me, tuning up the wood stacks involve pounding on the sides with something or other to stack it tighter so it won't fall over!
OK, OK, OK This draws the deer better than birdseed. I took these pictures when I took the piles of the stacks too. There are 27 standard apple trees These are fenced in: This Honeycrisp is probably about 3/4#.
