    I'm impressed and saddened by this woodpile. Impressed by it's size, and saddened by the wal mart superstore and 25 acre parking lot that took the woods place.

    I too am curious as to where that is located. That is a big operation and I want to find out what brand of equipment they are running.

    As for piles like that, we tried those back in NY in the 1970s and my brother recently tried them again a few times. The problem is mold and wet. The wood in the middle gets moldy and that freaks people out. My brother now has gone back to straight stacking with 18" of air between the piles. He has seen plenty of his customers have the moldy wood from his competitors and they are not happy about it.

    Very good analysis, Curly. That stack had better not remain there very long or that wood is going to rot. Illinois gets a bunch of rainfall also--about a foot more than Nebraska per year.

    Let's hope they sell it to some cold Illini who want to heat with wood. There's enough there to heat a small town.
