Yup we tried it a couple of times. Great, as the man said, for Europeans with limited space and an OCD for neatness. Think about the logistics of the HH:
1. It takes time to get that conical stack correct and stacked bottom up long ways .
2. If you heat with wood, how do you get the logs off the HH ? Not simple.
3. Limited space, then stack wider, higher, more carefully in the easier to use "normal" rectangular stacks.
4. Yes, they look cool, but do really give a $%#@& ?:jawdrop:
5. Now for the piece de resistance ( mon Francais is terrible ): can you do the math calculating how much wood is in the cone ? Gimme "bys", as in 8X8x5 or any variety of square piles. You may, may, get barely a cord in each HH. If you live in Dixie or N.J. maybe that'll work.
. JMNSHO my square stacks look cool. Hey, I lurk to stare at them daily.
AND finally---7. This a free country. You want to try a HH, do it. I will bet your first born, your best saw, Laphroaig that you'll go back to our red-blooded square, normal stacks. PM for details.:monkey:
