    I cut 20+ cords this year
    Once I got the last of it all split I took my sweet time to stack the last few cords but now I got some pics of my stacks
    Roughly 27+ cords
    70% Birch
    30% Spruce

    Hopefully this is a 3 year supply for my 2 stoves
    My plan is 4 years thou hope to have 4 year supply in like 2 years
    But of course I won't know how much I will roughly use in a season in till I get my new blaze king for the house
    And rebuild the riteway 37 for the shop

    That's a pretty cool wood shed you built, all natural, what did you use for roofing?

    Nice looking wood sheds Snafu2 . Nothing wrong with a nice supply of splits and being well enough ahead. 20 cord is a lot!
    Do you stack green splits in the shed? Or just the seasoned stuff?

    That's a lot of wood and a lot of hard work. I hope it works out that you have a longer supply than you think. That would save some work for you. It looks like you cut those stumps right down to the ground level. That's making full use of all the wood you can.

    Not sure only been at this house for 1.5 years
    Burned like 9-10 last year but only had a old stove when I get my blaze here soon it will help a lot I know that for sure because I have used them before
    It's put in there green and spacing in between every 2 row I get good wind blowing through the pole barn from east to west and west to east

    Those stumps aren't for burning they are for making into tables

    Great looking , covered stack !
    Some cool patterns on those stump/roots, future tables . :thumbs:

    Was looking for your pole light, not much daylight to work in.
    you have 2 hours less daylight than we've got here.

    Light snow year there, too ? (so far)

    You getting a catalytic BK ?
    Great stoves, long, steady, high heat output ! :yes:
    They love dry wood ;)
