    I have stacks that are hard to miss in my yard so I admire them almost every time Im outside. I like to hear them crackle and pop in the heat on a summers day. I like to resplit a piece here and there when its warm enough and stick my moisture meter in it. Even without knowing it I have my stacks in pictures of the bbq, the garden, the kids, the dog etc etc. I love my wood :D:D

    I'd have to say that the most I've split and stacked on my property (and I know you didn't ask me....) is every single piece! :cool:

    Yep, every day, multiple times per day - it probably means I have a major problem, but I love walking my stacks, sitting next to them and looking them over, taking out pieces to see how different species are drying and how the different years of stacks are drying, etc., etc. - yep, we are a strange bunch! Cheers!

    My wife wants to know if you talk to them too? After all, if you take out some pieces to fondle, you should talk to them.

    Yeah, but I've only just recently achieved those 9 cords. Most people I hang with, aren't wood burners and haven't seen that amount of stacked before.

    As with most things in life, it's all relative.

    Exactly, I have right around the same amount now, and it doesn't seem that impressive of a stack to me. But then, that's after seeing some of the other.lunatics stacks on here!

    I stopped checking the stacks a few years back, we're so sick of wood that we decided this coming heating season we would burn oil.
