Put the 25" bar and a new RMF chain on the 361 this weekend and noodled the big birch rounds I got last week http://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/big-birch-part2.11794/ After i got them all noodled and split / stacked came out to a cord of birch 2 rows 11ft long x 52"H x 16" splits comes out to basically 1 cord This puts me at about 8 cords CSS with 5 of them seasoned and ready to burn, so with my 2 cord a year avg usage i am 4 years ahead now CSS with another couple cord still in rounds needing split ( no more room) Aftermath mess 1 cord stacked white birch Aerial view Covered seasoned stacks
these things were heavy, oozing water when I put the hydraulics to them. was easier to quarter them with the saw than to wedge and sledge or to set the splitter up vertical IMO my stacks look like crap compared to most others on here, I'll be lucky if they dont tip over Well take a few weeks to get the mess cleaned and gone, already have the yard waste tote filled for Tues pick up, going to take a few more pick ups to get it all gone
Started a new post of my backyard. You can see some pellets against some of it because the center rows already fell against the outside row. Now to keep it from all falling. Someday I just may get it right.
Nice stacks You gonna top cover the birch for summer? You on the wet or dry side of WA ? If you get too far ahead, can always sell some Have some pocket money
If the weather calls for rain i will top cover it, Calling for rain next weekend I am on the wet mild side of the state, other side has much colder winters been pretty mild here the last couple years, maybe next year we well actually get a winter ( or what we call a winter)
