Brother, that's a great looking pile of wood! Shouldn't say pile!! Nice rows of an incredible amount of wood!! Hats off !!This picture is from a year ago. Even the rounds shown are burning good. Pile is 5 rows deep and covered with plastic. Been cold but haven't made much of a dent in pile.
I'd say!!! You guys are Serious!! Like your dog too!!!Hey Spidey,
I am not far from you, yah it's been real cold.
Did you say wood.
While I'm far from "out" of wood.... this year's stash will be up the flue by March at this rate. Then that's it, I shut her down and pay the oil man. I'd rather let next year's stuff keep seasoning and cut a little more for the future. Plus by that time I'm sick of it and ready for the easy life.
I swept the chimney last night, cap was plugged, and this is the most seasoned my wood has ever been so not sure what's going on there. Oak & pine, cut, split and stacked all before summer of '12 with the oak all dead standing stuff. Damn you red oak!
I've been burning since late September, mostly pine, and I'll start the hardwood come Jan 1, if the pine lasts till then. I've gone through almost 5 cord of pine with another 5 cord for March, April and May. I'm trying to keep 6 cord of Beech, cherry, locust and maple for Jan and Feb. That's my burn plan for this season, it's good to have a plan as long as the weather cooperates.
