Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

[motolife313]

I don’t wanna forget my splitter. Here’s my kindling rack I made and some oak and plum kindling for my smoker, this way it’s much faster getting the food cooking. I’m kinda I’m patient, I put the food on the grill then start my fire

90% of the wood I collect is for cooking foodView attachment 717819 View attachment 717820View attachment 717821View attachment 717824 the seasoned pile on the left is getting smaller and the pile on the right is getting bigger. I took this pic today after selling 1/4 cord to a guy running a pizza oven

That made me think of a BBQ place in Brunswick GA. I used to go to, twin oaks, I wish I had some now. They have a open brick pit about 10' long as I remember.

Well I managed to get the wood all split up as well as a bunch more around the wood splitting area, so I added well over a cord to the pile.
It's hard to see that I added anything to the pile unless you look from the side.
The pictures are from Saturday. I had done all the stuff off the ground to get the trailer in there as well as a little over half the trailer when I took them.

Made it up to 30 today so I got out for a bit.

Im getting so sick of the rain. I have been pulling from the tossed pile this winter - non of it really seasoned . Starting to get ahead for next year ... but dang this weather sucks

 

[crowbuster]

AMEN ! What have we had, 17 mud seasons this winter? Freeze up or dry up, I need some relief !

Lol, I have about 3 feet of snow in my yard, you guys should get out and split.

Had quite a bit of wood cut and on the ground. Worst way to do it for me, can't remember what I was thinking. Bucked it all up and have started splitting it. Getting after it pretty good last week or so.

Won't be coming out for a while, it's beautiful out but the ground is awful. This recent drop in weather makes it seem better than it actually is.

Been doing all the cutting with the 028. Sometimes it's nice to get back to the basics.

Damn, You know you have a big wood pile, when you have to take a photo with a drone. LOL

Too right. And that's just one of the woodpiles.

DSW: You have to restack the wood pile; It should be stacked bark-side up. It sheds water better with the curvature of the bark. Stacked the way you do it, the bark loosens up and traps and holds water. Seriously.

how are the bags working for you ? how much are you paying for them ? Im thinking about doing this at my farm for personal use;

Bags are working good. We changed our movement method a little this year, we just move the bags while they are sitting on the pallets as opposed to moving them from the straps while they are hanging. By moving the pallet you put a lot less stress on the bag. The bags would rip a little bit while moving from the straps, but now we eliminated that all together with the change. We paid about $18 a piece for the woodland mills bags, and then we switched over to the Dino bags last year and we can get those for $12 a piece. By switching the transport method we can easily get 3 years out of each bag now.

I thought the pallet idea was the way to go- how much in a bag ? 1/3 cord ? does the wood season ok in them ? I burn about 10 cords or less a year. I have a tw5 and elevator and always looking to touch the wood less and less each year

 

[T. Mainus]

Each bag is a face cord/1/3 of a cord. Wood seasons really well. We just did 150 bags of oak that we will sell this fall. The cherry and ash will be ready to go by summertime. Looks like you have a JD 5400, I would think that would be plenty for moving the bags around. You never have to touch the wood again until you burn it, it is a very clean way of doing firewood, no messy piles to deal with. We used to have a TW-5 with the automated biomass conveyor before we got our Powersplit.

I just bought six bags from Oesco Inc in ma. They were 14 a bag. Wanted to try them out.

Looks like a nice, clean set up.
