Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

Sounds like you put your logs in long ways front to back. I haven't seen any like that, ours go side to side.

Yeah, front to back. It's the correct way in this style of heater..?

Not a bad week worth of splitting and stacking. Had to beat the rain this weekend.

My old setup: 10 bush cords on 14 ft high shelf. 9 sections, 1 bush cord each, top shelf is 1 bush cord of cutoffs for the woodstove in my shop. Another 25 crates behind the shelf.

Here's my expansion space

You guys make my 3 cords a year seem pretty insignificant! I could get it all done in a weekend if I could devote the time.
I'm about half way through my splitting for the year. That little shed holds just about 3 cords.

If three cords holds you for the winter, thats pretty good if that is your sole heating source. Toronto is roughly the same latitude with southern Wisconsin, if you're halfway up, thats like our cottage country where you need 4 to 6 cords for winter

I burn coal mid January to Mid February. I burned 1600 lbs of coal and about 2.5 cords of wood this year so far. The propane furnace ran about a week. If I heated exclusively with wood I would probably burn around 4 to 5 cords.
That's heating 3000 square feet.

I'm still burning, although not 24/7 since the temps arw up during the day. Till were holding about 50-60*f overnight I'll keep burning. I'm probably another cord till the season is done. Shed hold a bit over 10 cord and I just hit the over halfway point in it. It's been a mild winter, so I should only be about 5-6 cord this year. The other year with those artic blast i was full 10+ cords. I just live in central Pa and it doesnt get real cold here too often. Wood is our only hear source save a kerosene heater well use in the shoulder season from time to time. (Which reminds me I need to get another wick or 2 for it.)

Let the log pile start turning into a split pile

Small pile of mulberry stacked. Going to be adding more mulberry to it this weekend hopefully. Stuffs stringy.

That was some craggy mulberry. They usually dont give any problem splitting

catching up with some farm work recently, i got into some cut oak i had sitting on some big bridge RR timbers from some tree work last year. the oak was not too appealing to me as it din't burn well... even 6 mo later. tried to give it away once. lol. glad i did not!! really burns well now with the aging and drying, seasoning. burns great and has a good slow burn, sustaining quality about it. lasts a bit longer than the other oak firewoods i have up there. had just gotten tired of the look, so revamped it and cleaned up the firewood of some initial dustings, etc of aging. plan to split the thicker chunks and move the rest to under cover... previously the rows were only 2/3 stix high... chunks mixed within, now separated out. a pix or two


stacked up just for the heck of it...

makes for a nice early spring fire in the main house's 54" fireplace....

toasty nice on cool mornings and chilly evenings....

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

cleaned up the debris, leaves, etc from each timber and it went/added to compost bins

Thank you! I’ve thought about doing the cutting out back where I can make more of a mess. But I like the way the logs look by the shed.
