I'm starting to stage my wood for the year. Burn Average is 4-4.5 cord. Maybe 5. Depends on temps of course. I stack wood on the porch. That usually lasts from the start of burning until early december. So I replenish that stack come december. Enough to cover december, march and also into april. I also have a woodshed that holds just over 2 cords. Heavy hitters go there for jan/feb. Each month takes a cord. So while I started to bring splits down, I thought how much handling and restacking I was doing. So my thought was to buy another cart for the quad, and just load up with splits, park it in the garage and just keep refilling as needed. I also would keep the woodbox filled that's in the house. The stacks I would be pulling from would get a double tarp to prevent from getting wet. Of course if my quad breaks down, I'll be hoofing it with the wheelbarrow. Which would suck. What says my fellow hoarders?
I did something similar this last year. Most all my wood is stacked along side the driveway and I have this 4x8 trailer with about 2ft sides. I'd fill the trailer and park it in the garage. Was enough for about a week in terrible weather. Nothing much better than grabbing the wood tote from next to the stove and walking out into the garage, in my house slippers and sweat shirt, while it's below 0° and snowing outside to get a reload.
