How to keep the stacked wood straight?

[rmount]

I like to think that I'm neat, but not anal.

I stack 3 rows deep; the middle row gets all the shorts and uglys, the outer rows help hold them in place and this lets the air circulate a little more than if the middle was all perfect sticks. As the rows settle and slump I just shove them back upright with my shoulder.

My neighbour builds stacks so absolutely straight and even that they could be given a coat of plaster and used as a wall. He seems to do it effortlessly and unthinkingly, yet ever piece is fitted just perfect.

That's just freaking huge!!!
I need to get a pile like that...
:hmm3grin2orange:

Like George Carlin's mythical pile of lost stuff...

That's where the firewood goes when it gets lost.

Just some house wood

Had fun this year. Traded a half cord for some great venison to a bud that didn't have time to cut any this year. I ended up having to redo all those rickety stacks in the first and third pics, kids were stacking while I was splitting. My stacks are small compared to you guys that do this for a living.

I'm anal too...

Hedgie-

Admitting you have your finger in front of the lens is the first step.


YOU, are sick.

And this is what happens when your stacks run you out of the other 2 bays... You put it wherever you can!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

But I could still get the 4 wheeler out!!! Ha!!!

Can't believe nobody's used this one yet,

I couldn't help wondering what that pile would be like if it should somehow catch fire. How long would it burn?

I think you'd get an overnight burn from that!:hmm3grin2orange:

Got it...

Nice!! That's a good jag of firewood!!

Thanks for opening that Hedge hopefully i'll figure that out soon. Just getting the link to attach is a milestone for me. When I get behind anything computerised it's like watching a one armed paper hanger with the seven year itch.
