Well, if it doesn't say "Fisher" on it, It most likely won't happen. The "only" stove I would even consider is an Ideal Steel stove.
Ok this is just a term that I am seeing a lot but maybe I am already doing it just leaving out the name..... cribbing can you explain that?
The ends are "cribbed" FatBoy85 to prevent collapse---it is time consuming and an art of sorts-this is obviously stacked on pipe-I've found with soft ground L to R, T posts are your best bets given the cost and time
Oh ok! I thought it meant the 2x4's that get the stack tighter than a snare drum in the summer. I do try that but Im definitely not successful. The birch I have might be worth trying in this. So easy to split. Thank you yooperdave and Eric VW. Maybe you can direct me to learning the techniques a bit.... chit this is embarrassing...
Ok im getting two different kinds of (pause for effect... ) "cribbing, either its just for building a structure support so that your stack is upright on both ends or using posts to support them. Either or sorta situation??
It takes practice. Of course, you would crib with the same sized splits on every layer. Yeah, right! Usually you can get pretty close though. Seems square splits work best as opposed to half or quarter round splits.
Ok Im often splitting my rounds in half not like square but I might have to look at this a bit carefully. Lucky the loggers cut my birch square in places so i might have my wood cut out for me...for lack of a better term..
You can use what you have for cribbing. You'll see, just give it a try with your splits and try to maintain a nice level plane.
I'll try this. I split a bunch of my birch upon getting home. Time consuming yeah I'll see if I can do this this summer. I'll need to clear off this whole set of pallets just to start new.
Even if you're stacking half round or pie shaped splits, you can stack cribbed ends.....I just pack in whatever makes the cribbed end sturdy if it's not, thus tying it to the regularly stacked pieces in between. Or, stand pallets up on end, and forego cribbing ends all together....or use the above mentioned tee posts. Your call.
Just use T-posts for the ends, though cribbing does allow a marginal air-flow more and it's all about the air. But, at like $3.49 apiece, drive and go...on to the next stack...all above are right though, and if you're using a splitter it will come to you naturally, if splitting horizontally, which splits you can make square and of the same size for the cribbed ends....it's all in the learning process and that's why we're all here...
Thats the rail rack, I'm quite proud of her...she dries it quick. Single row, 9 months full sun and southern exposure, cover in the fall, have some nice rubber roofing to cut in 24" wide strips, weight down with ATV tires, rocks and nasty uglies...I'm gonna make more of them...air galore
