What are you? Why? ...so, I'm more than a little OCD when it comes to symmetry in life. I am a stacker. Be it loading the truck or stacking in the shed/under a tarp. I think you get much more in the truck, especially, when stacked. ....plus it just presents a much better view when rolling down the road. Stacker or flinger?
Flinger into the truck but always stacked at home. I think you're right about fitting a lot more stacked in a truck though, but usually I'm picking up rounds and not splits.
The couple of times I've just thrown it into the truck helter skelter, I felt kinda guilty unloading it at home.....could've made the trips a lot more worthwhile by stacking it, you see!
That looks stunning mate, got some of those boxes on the right.Got the upper bit of the container as a lid, which is kinda awrite but the water doesnt really flow away and keeps the outer wood more wet than needed. But this one is a beast, ill give it a shot with the next one! Back to topic: Im a stacker too, even though sometimes it looks more like flinger.
Usually toss rounds in the truck, but stack them in if I’m cutting smaller poles. Coming off the truck everything gets stacked off the ground including the poles for a few reasons. -I find it easier to send rounds to the splitter out of a nice stack. - Its easier to get the smaller poles off a neat stack and into the cutting crib, of course the rounds are stacked after cutting. -I just roll the splitter forward along the row of rounds as I split to eliminate as much round carrying as possible. -It saves on some room being in a few nice neat rows -I usually don’t get to splitting it right away so it’s neat, off the ground and not frozen in a heap during winter As far as splitting, it comes off the splitter into the wheelbarrow then gets stacked.
My latest crime on the left (some flingin can be seen on the right) half stacking/half flingin. This way i got enuff space inside the tube for some good ventilation. To much rain these days for solid stacking.
Stacker! I stack in the trailer, in my truck, in the yard... Here's some rounds I've collected this fall, which will stay stacked til spring when I'll split and re-stack. I even made a triangular 'fort' for the kids out of some rounds I brought home recently. Even my avatar is me leaning against a 16-foot-long wall of stacked ash rounds. I can't help it!
Now this is a beautiful thing. The half splits and the cap on the entry to the fort. Very nice. That's what I'm talk'n about.
Only time I Fling is when I use a hydraulic splitter, that's because I have a chit load to do. Once I split all of it, I stack neatly. When I use the 6lb. maul (86.77% of the time) I wheel-barrow it to the stack, as I fill the barrow.
It just make sense to stack and stack relatively neat. Too many times we hear about folks (even wives) complaining about those awful looking wood piles. Stacked neat, that is not so much of a problem and it also takes less room and the wood will dry better. Here's an old stack. Still had a little cleaning up to do and top covering but most don't think it looks too bad.
Hmmm ... I stack the stacks, and fling everything else. And my stacks are not that neat, I have other things to be obsessed about. (But nobody sees them.)
I only fling into the trailer if I am positive it will all fit and only need to make one trip. Once rounds are split they get stacked ASAP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Stacker from bush to stove. I'm not alone after all! And here I thought I was OCD (I probably am). Does anyone else crack a beer every once and awhile and just stand there and admire their wood stacks with a slight grin? Be honest. Here's my stack of rounds. It's stacked OK but the surrounding mess has been bugging me. I don't have any pics of my splits. UPDATE: Pics of stove ready splits. Yeah I know, wood nerd!
