Last time I filled it was Jan 22. 4 weeks ago, roughly 3/4 cord per month. Wood seems real dry, sound like blowing pin banging together. Mostly 3-1/2 yr stuff.
Last time I hauled some to my front porch there was 2 ft on snow on the ground. Month ago? (I don't keep track) Rack holds about 1/2 cord. Have burned about 1.5 cords so far.
Ran about 4 cords thru the stove so far. (Numbers say 3.75 but not exact numbers) 5 x.75 = 3.75 (burned some shoulder fires + .25) I figure 4 codes to this point. Had some wood in the box for Sept & early Oct. First fill was 10-16. This is the 6th filling. 2 rows in the basement average just over 3/4 cord. This section is the small section of the shed, 6.5 cords +/- Was Full in Oct. 5 rows deep. Since then less & less wood in there Down to 1 full back row & about 1/4 of the 2nd row today
="nate, post: 64599, member: 679"] I'd give up if I had to use that much wood![/quote] Good thing I'm not you.
Absolutely love your wood set up. Your setup looks to be very methodically (my $5 word of the day) thought out and tweaked to make it work like you do.
Yep all snow is melted exept for those big piles. A nice big sloppy mess, suppose to get rain tonight with snow tomorrow possible. Its almost spring time. The roller coaster effect....
The wood chute is great! My neighbors need one of those! My son or I need to hand every split down to them through their basement window well. Long story....
I have to go from backyard stacks, stack on front porch and then stack into a wheeled bin that goes by the stove. The bin holds 2-3 days worth of wood. If I was burning through wood as fast as you, that bin would last hardly a day, so you can imagine how much more handling it would require.
