The Wood Pile

[7mm-08]

Watching @Lastfling and @Hunterreed over in the winter weather thread talking about fire wood.

So, let’s see ‘em.


I keep the back half of my boat shed full and keep a few wagon loads on the porch.

This summer I found some guys clearing for a new residential service, and I asked them where the logs were going. Answer was my house.







It took me a while to get through it, but…

This pic is from summer, but it’s still in a big pile.
One of these days I’ll get it in the shed. This is for a few years out, so it has time to dry.

I have a bunch of 4x4’s and 6x6’s from shipping skids I took apart . Going to build a table 12 ft long and 8 ft wide to lay logs on with the tractor . Going to saw the logs into rounds 16 inches and roll them to the splitter without having to pick them up .

Getting ready to cut down some black locust when deer season is over to split and dry for next year. Looks like the end of next week will be a good time to start.

I’ve got a couple trees that I can drive right up to I need to get up. Right now I’ve got enough inventory that if I can’t drive the truck and splitter up to the tree I don’t mess with them too much.

I got two "woodsheds"

The first in the woods has 4 bays:
A) stacked logs
B) cut to size rounds
C) split firewood
D) loaded on trailer

Then the 2nd by the house has two bays:
E) firewood
F) firewood

I'll burn wood off of E or F and when I empty it, I move up D to either E or F, reload the trailer from C, split wood from B to reload C, and cut logs from A to reload B.

Works....

I have the same splitter you got. I love mine

It works fine for me. I’ve never stalled it out on a tough piece yet. Granted I leave most of the crotches alone. Too much good clean wood out there to fight with a single round.

Im still slinging the maul, sometimes I’ll run out of gas. I avoid the screwed up pieces way too much energy wasted.

Got the wood stove going now. Haven't used it as much this winter as the last years but time to keep it going has been sporadic.

Probably light mine again this evening. Gonna do a sweep today.

Swept the chimney and ready to run it hard for the nites in the teens coming up.

I bought a truckload of wood about a month ago, should be enough to keep the Defiant fed this winter....

Burn mostly outside. Shed holds two layers deep. I’m 1/8 owner of a log splitter and stock up once a year. Duke took down a couple oaks in my front yard this summer and nice enough to cut it into log lengths for me. Need to get on it…getting low.

Nice looking spot.

My dad has a 15x15ish lean too he keeps fire wood in. As a kid growing up I cut and split wood from the time I was a little boy until I left. My brother left shortly after me and my parents had a central air put in. Dad still keeps the wood shed full and burns it on colder nights.

Taking the chill off this morning.

Just like my dad, and he bought his first "riding mower" right after we left, also

We did have a riding mower but dad bought a round bailer after we left. We still helped when we could but after the 1st cutting he was done and bought the round bailer.

Cooking this morning.

Did y'all get any snow yesterday?

 

[kilacam]

My little pile. I don't need to burn too much here but when it gets cold like this I love it. I got 2 rows with 4 separate stacks, kindling and little stuff there in the front. Right now I'm working out of the right side for this year, then I'll fill it up at the end and alternate for next year. I have a 3rd row right there at the end but it gets wet so I just use it for the outdoor pit.

Got the Kozy Heat cleaned up and cranking today.

No. It was cold and they sky was filled with clouds that looked like they could burst any second, but nothing ever happened but wind.

 

[stiab]

Not from my woodpile, but went to an outdoor birthday party last night, and this was the scene. Bodies were hot on front side and cold on the back, you know the feeling...

 

[richard corn]

I don't have the means to burn wood. I just drink a lot of bourbon.
