My wood pile

Whirlwind Dreamer, I see you are a fairly new arrival. Welcome!

Guilty as charged. Oak, preferably white, and hickory for me. I’m too far ahead to be dealing with inferior species.

We are NOT WOOD SNOBS! It's not our fault that all that grows around here is Oak. I actually burned some Ash this year, first time in 64 years.

Haywire, not to be picky but your firewood is upside down.

So, how do you stack it, if you do it like my Dad used to do his. He split his nice straight Oak. Took a hatchet and chopped all the bark off, then took a whisk broom and swept all the bugs and dirt off. Then stacked it in nice straight rows with cribs on the end. now you know why I'm so OCD about cutting and stacking my wood. But, I think bark and bugs burn just fine.

rarefish 383, here is my 32" boiler wood. I try to stack it bark side up if possible. 16" splits for sale gets dropped off the conveyor and then handloaded onto the conveyor and drooped into the dump trailer to be dumped at peoples houses. No stacking ever. The crates by the barn were stacked by my wife and daughter. I stacked the singles that you see in the field. You can see that I stack the bark up on most.

Never covered the pile so I had to break it up as I loaded. Stupid is as stupid does.

Same thing for me this year. Forgot to cover my wood and it snowed early. I am paying for it now!

I'm in East Central Iowa and I tried shutting that strong south wind down, but must be coming from further south than here.[emoji4]

Bit of mud season setting in but got a little done today.

First nice day in a long time here so I got out there before it gets muddy. I also brought some stone home and when I dumped I found a broken spring.

Just started using this area to store and cut firewood. Where the wood is stacked used to be a feed trough for milk cows. This is where it is stored to given it time to dry before it is stacked inside a shed next to the outdoor stove

 

[Philbert]

So that wood will stay there till the cows come home?

Where did the spring come from? Dump trailer?

This is 2 days worth of cutting, 2 guys running saws and one guy in the machine bringing logs. 95% big ash that we got from a tree service. The bigger stuff is a pain but it makes some nice firewood.

Welcome to the site.
Now that's a different backdrop view for firewood stacks.
What species of wood is that?
Looks like Cherry we get here or maybe Hickory or Locust.

Yes, a little dump trailer I bought last year. It had a hard life before I got it.

Rented a 305 cat to pull some stumps and try to make some room. Lots of big rocks to deal with.

Mesquite wood

My piles are at a low point this time of year. All supplies seasoned for 2019/20 use are gone. The new piles for next year are just now getting filled. But, I have a new helper in the woods, and I should be catching up fast:



Grandsons are pretty awesome.
