wow! how much land does everyone have? seems like you'd need a lot of space to store two seasons' worth of wood. i only have room for 1 season, and it's only a few cords. i guees i could store it on the front lawn, but i don't think my wife or neighbors would really like that. :biggrinbounce2:

Lucky for me my inlaws have a bit more space. I cut split and stack there, then bring each seasons wood home in the spring to stack here. Makes for an extra handling..... but what are ya gonna do ???

Nice looking wood pile. If you get bored, I'm just starting on mine.

dutch,
Let me ask you, how does the metal roofing work when you take wood out during the winter? I'm thinking it would be hard to handle, but can't visualize. I'd like something better than the plastic I use now (don't see a shed in my immediate future though
)

My stacks are about 8' high, takes less room that way.

5 foot in the ground. Holy moly. I guess that's so they don't heave in the frost. Nice and sturdy that's for sure. I like the rig in the background. How about telling us about that?

Great machine. I sure could use a dump box like that. Thanks for the pictures.

I would say that I'm 6 or 7 years ahead on my woodsupply or maybe even more. My goal each spring is to haul in more than I burned that past winter so I'm always gaining.

don't you worry about wood going bad after laying too long
I do the same, around 5 or 6 years ahead now. You have to manage the stockpile so that the 'first in, first out' rule is observed. That way you are always burning the oldest wood first.
My stockpile has those 3 bins and I should open up a 4th. Next season will empty the one on the left (under the maple) and I'll start filling it again. This year I am adding to the one on the right - it has about 10 cord of Locust behind the fresh rick.
