I'll see if I can get a picture of the wood and storage this afternoon. It looks like I got a break in the rain. But for now, I'll show two...
My first two cords of wood bought were from a reputable place... highly recommended and large lot full of wood. The wood was pretty good minus a...
Thank you for lots of good input. I'll address this on in particular: I blame the "against the side of a building" setup on jumping into the...
The wood I'm covering is wood I'm intending to burn this season. While I'm new to burning, logic tells me that freshly rained upon wood isn't...
The reason for posting the "not problem" pile is because both piles are stacked exactly the same. If the issue is how it is stacked/tarped, it...
Title kind of states it. I have a two deep stack of wood that is ~8 foot long by ~5 foot tall. I put a tarp across the top with about 2 foot...
I probably should have said "drive up the hill" since I've got El Dorado national forest available within a 30-40 minutes. Although I'm sure...
I think I'm fighting two things during my cold startup: dense oak and "wet" oak. Cold starts are still a little bit of an issue. I think what I...
I'll say again, thank you for all the input. With the top down, I'm just trying to do a little bit of experimenting to help with cold box startup...
Thanks for all the good info. For removal/storage, it looks like I need to get a "small" galvanized can with secureable lid. For disposal, I'll...
Title sort of states it but I'll expand. What do you use to store the ash you clear out of your fireplace? Especially when you need to pull hot...
I would love any clean up hints. On the top-down method, my first attempt failed beyond miserable. I'm on my second attempt currently and while...
Hmm... guess I should drink lots of coffee before posting.:doh: No I'm not burning dried manure in my fireplace:emb:
Glad I asked for input. I had a reasonable "day and a half" burn. It seems like the new late night habit I need to start is hit restroom, drop...
Long term is to have three storage areas like my picture that will try to match the roof but also not be against the house. My winter goal is to...
The roof extends about 2 foot from the house. I could easily buy some plywood to extend the edge out a bit beyond the wood pile.
Fortunately, I've got a few things planned out... but they are going to have to wait for next year :( Here is about one cord of my storage...
One somewhat related question... what would be a preferred minimum distance from a wood structure like a garage wall? My concern is insect...
I'm a newbie wood burner and I'm now trying to figure out a permanent solution for my wood storage. First and easiest question: I should only...
Thanks for even more good information. Uncle Augie, unfortunately, I'm down in a nice shady ravine affectionately known as pneumonia gulch. So...
