    It's definitely a combination of the 3 factors I mentioned and the fact we had a very hot and dry summer-I really feel the air flow underneath helps immensely-I'll have to try the averages method next time, makes sense...Thank you sir Canadian border VT

    Thanks, ash, for the MM results. Helps a lot with planning the layout of stacks.

    Hey gboutdoors I have the same wood hauler-do you have a wheel or wheels about ready to fall off? I cant get the wheel off and it wobbles like crazy and I had to reinforce with sheet metal screws where it connects the sections-its the perfect size but I'm really questioning the quality...???
