Do you guys get alot of snow? We normally have wet winters and all the stuff out there is soaked. The stuff on my fence line is sun/wind all day all year. I cant really tell if its just water on the surface or if its wet all the way through.
Me either however my stove is upstairs on the main level. I stack on a fence line at the back of my place until fall, where it moves up under my deck, which has tin underneath. Then I stage it next to the door by the stove. Inside and burn.
I do the portion between Lowell and Ada on a normal basis, then also the other side of the river on Grand River, we live just south of Lowell on the upper portion of the river valley so you know I cry often and a lot

Looking good Dan. Is that @zogger wood on the truck?I had to catch up with Pioneerguy600
I found him
Today we cut some dead standing and dead top stuff close to the road
We even did our part to feed deer and rabbits
We both had a go at being Donk
The pile continues to grow , it was a great afternoon
Dig out the ash and maybe the cherry. should be good to go.
We haven't had much snow this year but we did have near 70" of rain.
My FIL has burned off this rack since it got really cold and snowed. Only thing I've pulled out of what he has got off it was some locust I left in rounds. The oak is fine and it's only been up 9 months to a year.
This will last me a week in the cold weather, I let the fire die out yesterday and probably wont fire it back up until the daytime highs get back down below 40f. I suspect that if the wood was green and fresh cut, it would take a little longer to dry. I have one rack in my basement that has been split for over two years. Sort of saving it for some dumb reason. It works awful well getting a fire started, but it burns hot and fast. Bugs dont seem to be a problem, but I do remember once I had a brood of praying mattis hatch out. Had to take the vaccum cleaner and suck them up as they where crawling all over the house.
I dont see any bugs in my basement. We bought one of those sound emitting bug things that you leave plugged in. You dont hear it and most of the time I dont even think about it, but it must be working. My praying mantis problem was years ago in my first house and it didnt have a basement. They where in the living room crawling on the wall, ceilings and furniture. Wife was having kanipshits fits. I thought it was funny, her not so much.
TYVM! Staying out of the wind is huge. That's why the landing / splitting area got moved down into a swale a few years back. Single digits on a sunny day and I'm down to a sweatshirt over a wicking layer when working.
Built completely out of the angle iron from an old metal bed frame, a bit of left over aluminum sheet from a solar panel build, and the window from an old storm door. It might be warm enought this weekend to paint it blue! Even has a little dahboard area for coffee cup and wifi speaker
