Hi,
I want to cut/split 200 cords of wood in June, dry it in July/August/September, and sell it in December.
Space is limited somewhat, so imagine it will end up in a huge pile, no more then 10 feet tall.
How do I dry the bottom of the pile????
My thought was to dig some trenches under where teh pile is going to go. lay some perforated 4 inch pipe in hte trenches, and cover with round drain rock.
Stack the wood on top of the rocks using the skid steer bucket.
Then take a house furnace or other appropriate fan, and hook it to the various 4 inch pipes.
Hook a house thermostat on the AC circuit, and only turn the fan on when the temp is above 70.
Theory is the top of the pile will dry with the wind, and the bottom fo the pile will dry with the fan.
Thoughts?
