Post pictures of your woodpile/splitting area

How do you heat the air to dry the firewood?

Thanks

How do you survive without shade?

Since there are no trees here then you have to build something like a pavilion that provides a place out doors for relaxing and barbequeing.

Not many trees out by you. Where does the wood come from?

I've travelled through northern & southern Wyoming & by the looks of it in southern Wy. having wood trucked in would be hundreds of miles.

Some of the wood I get comes from the mountains which is a pretty long trip.
Some of the wood comes from compost areas and some from Cheyenne.
All the wood I get I scrounge myself.

New woodshed will hold over 80 face cords when full.....working hard to make that happen soon. All ash that is wet and frozen so it splits like a dream with axe. All the pictures I have a with my boy in them

That looks great

Thanks....just started cutting wood a few years ago and really enjoy all aspects of it. A great way to enjoy the woods together and stay warm

Not making a lot of progress getting this pile cut up and split although I have separated the ASH, Madrone, Fir and Oak into separate piles. Keeping the Oak pile until last as we have a lot and the area is filled with Oak.
Wood sheds have 12' x 12' (3.6m) stalls but one set of 2 is for hardwood the other 2 are softwood. Only stack them up to 6 ft or so. Roughly 6 cords each stall.

Alot of good firewood. I am afraid around this area we do not get any oak. Once in awhile I do get some ash.
Welcome to the forum. Always good to see pictures.

the heat exchanger in the air compressor for the factory compressed air.

Noodling up all the stuff my 8lb maul bounces off.

Stored under cover.

All split by hand [emoji1377]

Rotate the stillages in front of the air compressor. 33c hot air coming out 24/7 drys out the timber quickly [emoji1360]

Can you tell us a bit more about your setup? Is this just for yourself or do you sell some?

Here in Tasmania its summer time so its wood hooking season has been on for a while now.

Job completed thanks to my son coming home for a while... I didnt have to split the last few loads.

Enough wood for a few years...

what would you like to know? its all for self use. since we've had a few big wind storms in melbourne theres been plenty of wood at friends properties that needed clearing. i use the stillage at work which dont get used anymore and they are pretty close to a cubic metre. luckily were have a bit of space in the warehouse to store it too. i thought i would redirect the hot air off the air compressor and stack a few stillages in front of it to help dry the wood out good and proper. it runs 24/7 and about 30 to 35 deg C temp. split it all by hand at this stage. keeps me fit. any super tough bits i just put them to aside and noddle them up with the saw. most of it is messmate so it burns pretty hot and fast.

Need to finish all this red oak then build a storage shed.

We have a shed for personal use firewood, and a wood lot for seasoning splits on pallets to sell. No comparison between outdoor and wood shed wood.
Build a two year shed, if not three three shed. Your hardwoods will be phenomenal. And you will be thanking yourself for years, if not decades to come.
