Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Short timer]

Ok,

I don’t want to offend but it looks like if you continue this pile it will fall.

The angle of the wood is VERY important. It can NEVER become parallel with the ground. Always slopping in. If it becomes parallel it will fall

My example [emoji3596]. First picture is as close as you should EVER let it get to parallel. 2nd picture shows it better

Gee I wish I had read that a couple hours ago! Lol!
I'm not going to go as high as yours. Mine is about 6.5' wide and it's at 4' high now. I thought I'd go to 5 in the center. Every time the pieces got level, I put some cross pieces around the outside to tilt them in. If it shows signs of wanting to fall, I'll go around it with chicken wire! The eyeball says it should be close to a full cord once I build the center up a bit. I just dumped the wood in the center, I wasn't as fastidious as you. Lol.

Loving my Christmas present by the way. Haven't hardly used it. Split close to a cord today on less than a tank of fuel. Also split up a stash of small pieces of apple and pear for the BBQ. After those ribs I made I get hungry every time I see apple;

I only do the bottom layer with the pc vertical. Technically you are supposed to do all of them that way for air flow. But Iv never seen a difference. I only do the bottom layer because it makes the “base” more dense and tightly packed. After that the rest of the middle gets filled with the odd shaped or short pc’s.

I do 8 foot diameter and around 9 feet tall. I just use a truncated cone calculator to find the volume.
I use 4 foot Radius at the bottom and a 2 foot radius for the top and 9 feet tall . That puts it at around 2 cord. I am being conservative with the measurements of this to be safe

9' tall is getting up there. We are about 200' elevation above lake Huron and the west wind is vicious here. Especially in winter. It's wide open for a long way behind my house so I have learned not to stack too high.
