Not the whole collection, not by a long shot, but this is my "premium" stack I keep at the house for overnight burns or cold snaps where I don't want to go get wood. All 100% hardwood, a significant portion of which is osage I scrounged in the spring that managed to dry to the 16-18% range, a few pieces that are right at 20% but will dry to 15% by the time I get to them. I usually don't start on this stack until late december, the rest of the time I'm burning uglies and cedar that I truck up to the porch daily in a gorilla cart. BTW has anyone found a good fix for the gorilla cart floors? I've had two now where the welds come off. I can put plywood in but that adds weight.
Nice work and looking good!!!! Jealous, I haven't even begun Should be getting going here shortly, just wrapping up a new small woodshed/rack on the side of the house than we can begin moving wood around.
Working on convincing myself to move more splits this evening. Muscles still angry about the first few loads over the weekend. Takes me a little while to wake up all the ones needed that aren't used in summer.
Dude I see people stacking 1 cord in a day and I'm like there is no freaking way. I spend all fall splitting and stacking just to hit 3 cords.
Loading and unloading a 7x10 utility trailer twice is all I want in a day anymore. I try not to need to move any huge amount at one time to keep it from being a chore but let the house stacks go to almost nothing last winter. 2 more cord will see it stuffed to max.
I moved the wood box into the living room next to the stove. Now I gotta put some wood in it and bring more wood down to the garage. There was frost on the grass this morning. 35 this morning.
[Bring on the cold! [/QUOTE] Don't wish for that yet!! I still have a LOT of fall work to get done yet...and a bunch of fishing to do yet as well.
Got down into the 40’s here a few evenings ago. Had a small fire just cause I could. Air conditioning kicked on about bedtime.LOL
I have a stove and a fireplace. I'm very close to firing up the fireplace. It's in my walkout basement so the chimney is like forty feet. I crack the sliding door about 1.5" and get some real velocity going for some absolutely incredible fresh air into the room, so it's cold fall air and radiant fireplace heat. Completely in-efficient and it doesn't even matter at all.
