Here is the home heating thread, AKA "show us your wood".
I heat exclusively with wood heat. What you will see are piles of wood in various stages of season. Some of it is still whole log length or chunks of trees we moved with the bobcat/backhoe. Most is log lengths cut to length. Some of these are more seasoned than others. You will also see how I stack them. I throw down used pallets with T-posts on the ends to keep the pile from blowing out. I then stack with the most seasoned (ready to burn) on the right and work my way to the left. What is not used this year will still be on the left, and we will work left to right next year. There is a gap in this pile because the absolute most seasoned wood is to the far right (closest to the barn) and this is for my Dad. His wood burner is in the house and he needs it to be as dry as possible. We both currently have about as much wood at our houses where we load the wood as what you see stacked. This will be really close to getting me through the year. He still uses his gas furnace as well, so he will have plenty as well. I anticipate having most everything farthest away from the barn split and stacked by the end of the winter. Next summer I will start working on the piles up by the barn. Just for reference this is an S-220 which is the same frame as the S-250/S-300 Bobcats and the barn is 30x50'. Pretty decent pile of wood waiting to be split. Truthfully an eyesore and motivation to get it cleaned up. Enjoy my wood! Phil
