    Dave, that oak had been sorted, thinking they would not burn that. Wrong! It all got burned. But that's okay, it went to a good cause. :yes: :handshake:

    No, not a jinx. It's those darned t-posts that does it.

    I have a promise for a lemon pie now!

    My stacks usually sag in the middle as they dry out too. I've only had them 'blow out' like that while using t-posts. I think the cribbed ends offer a better clamping "purchase" on the stack - where the t-post can sometimes act as a pivot point. It's scientifical... :sherlock: :D

    I have called him many times, been to his house twice, him to our house once, and I have never had a stack do that. But snooping around his place I found one of his stacks that had fallen over :hair::bug:
    I think the problem is the wood is to dry. May have to water those stacks. :rofl: :lol::D

    On no it wasn't! Close, but not down.

    EDIT: Here is the stack Chief was talking about:
