Here is my sauna/firepit wood pile. Based off my racks there is about 3 cords worth of storage area (assuming 16” splits) but in reality a little more because many of my splits are 18-20”. Unfortunately very little of it is seasoned because we use most of the good stuff this summer.

There is about a half cord in rounds of aspen/birch/maple and another half cord coming in tonight. Going to fill the empty rack and then get a pile going to fill the next rack as it depletes.

So do you do a nuddy run to get from the sauna back to the house through the snow in winter? That'd be refreshing.

Got the near bay finished yesterday, 5.5 cords in there. I've just been ambling about stacking for an hour or so here and there when I've had a bit of spare time, doesn't seem like much work doing it that way. There's 2/3 cord of @LondonNeil 's English oak rounding out the bay. I've been told that it dries slowly but it has 3 Aussie summers to dry out, should be enough. The rest of the wood in that bay is dry already.

Here is my wood stack area. Been a little slow this year in gathering wood. It’s been a hot & humid summer. Finally, cooled off and starting to get to some dead trees I’ve been putting off. Most of the wood is for sale, although I will use some for my fireplace.

Got this season's wood moved to dry storage, should be enough to last us until December or January before I'll have to tap into another stack. Moved an entire holzhausen of ash that I split and stacked last November. Here it was:

And here it is now (the lower half of first photo is actually about 1/8 cord of cherry):

Still not enough room for all of it, and the last of itf that was closest to the ground was the most moist of the whole pile. I rigged up a few temp cribs with some fans inside our semi-enclosed spa room to speed up the drying:

The room is open to the elements, though still sheltered from the rain, we're in the middle of some demo and remodel of the area:

But you can see how the room makes sense as it is right next to our woodstove, which is also right next to the dry wood storage:
