I here ya there I am working hard on 09-10s wood. I lived somewhat near you growing up, up there you need REAL quantities of wood.

This the wood pile(s) for the next couple years, I had some good oppurtunities this past early winter-late spring time to capitalize on some free wood clearing fence rows and trim backs along fields, basically I was told if it leaned near the field cut it down!

Here are some shots of the wood lot about 150 yards behind the house. We have 9' log piles, Ash/Elm, 9' Oak/Hickory, some 4' piles of both, and some split wood for this year. We will work the logs up this fall/winter and create another pile for next year. I share it with my FIL, we each have Hardy H2 outdoor stoves.

Last year my pile was made up from small sources from 8 or 9 different people/places. It was all free if you don't count the Dunkin Donuts gift cards. I figured I would augment it with a cord so I could get a little ahead. Well...the nice lady from across the street wanted to split a cord ($$$ wise, not with an axe) so now I was up to 1 1/2 purchased cords....

At least I'll know that its been truly seasoned for a year and not no bogus log length seasoning either ...should burn well.

I currently have about 18 chords stored in a 18x21 metal carport....and I rented a dump trailor and borrowed my neighbors tractor and worked all weekend hauling 10 loads to put in the second carport. I believe I have enough wood to last 6 years. The power company cut all this wood down when they cleared the powerline right of way on my property.....I never wanted to be this far ahead. The neighbor that loaned me the tractor will be coming by this week to get what I can't use and I will help him load up his dump truck.
