I stack my firewood in a similar fashion, but I also place "tie-rods" between the stacks----4' chunks of saplings----to stabilize the pile. AND my wood comes from the splitter on the bucket of the tractor at a nice back-saving height. Old fat guys don't like bending over even a little bit! Your stacks look real nice guy!

My feeling about heating your home with wood. First I really like the "warmth". Second,even if you do not have to pay for the raw product there is a substantial cost to heating with wood. Let's say you do have to "pay" for the product (even if it is just a permit) then the cost for crude oil based fuel for the equipment (including trucks) then the actual equipment and maintenance. Then there is your time. Even though you are not cutting yourself a check do you realize how many hours you are putting into this task? These hours have to be payed for somehow,someway. I do think that many times it boils down to "well if I want to live in this location I must bear the cost associated with heating by wood as there is no alternative", just do not fool yourself into believing that it is a low cost method of heating your home.

Have to ask you buckin, you ever run a echo Timberwolf if you haven't you've got to. I'm a big stihl and Husqvarna man but it's my new favorite saw. It's light and so balanced I top trees with it with a 24 inch bar all day long and don't even notice it. And power-wise pound for pound there's nothing that will touch it I don't think I've got stihls & Husqvarna all around it power-wise I mean it'll go through twice to Wood that 441 Magnum Stihl will cuz I tried them out both of 24-inch bars in New chains the ms310 as the same size saw and it's no comparison it's like driving a Ranger compared to driving a full-size Ford you got to try one out

@SkillCult8 жыл бұрын
Ha ha. I'm a big un-fan of the word proper. I catch myself using it once in a while, but I think if it was eliminated from the language about 90% the world would be a better place. Never and always also raise red flags for me. They have more of a place, but they are way overused and often the more vociferous and adamant users of them are the less informed repeating some kind of boyscout rule they read that has exceptions. Again, I catch myself wanting to use them, but I find that most of the time if I examine what I'm saying closely, they aren't justified and I'm just talking out my ass. I have notes sketched out for a video rant on that very subject because someone needs to say it. All of those types of words close doors instead of opening them and keep us thinking in boxes rather than contextually. I don't have to leave space between my wood stacks generally, but my weather is vastly different than yours. Context is king. The biggest mistake I see people make stacking wood is just being sloppy in general. Once you have a pile fall over, you learn that it's a skill like everything else and requires a certain amount of attention for good results. In my zone the wood is so twisty and limby that you really have to pay attention when stacking.

We tend to stack wood about the same height, but a single row, and out in the open. (No cover at all). Quite common in the old days before the new fangled stoves that dont use a lot of wood for heating, and most cooking on electric or gas, to see it stacked all around the house and serve double duty as a fence to keep the cows out! Just keep adding at one end, taking away at the other end. Our fire wood is usually quite dense hardwoods, (eucalyptus / gum trees mostly) we tend to avoid anything from the pine families because of the creosote and it just burns up to quick. I mostly use box and black wattle, which is harvested off my own property. The box burns well, but the black wattle burns really hot, and is really full of oils. When I fell it I burn all the branches dead green, as I toss each branch on the fire it "wooshes" up like I have thrown a cup of petrol on the fire!. Given you have an abundance of wood and can pick and chose what you keep in your line of work - do you have a particular preference on the type of wood you store?

I found that with a deep shed like yours that you have to completely empty it before you can refill it. Open ends mean you can at least do half and half. I then built a different style shed with bays eight feet square and sixty feet long. It worked better as you could remove wood from each long side from the front and the back. Then I discovered the holzhausen, and I never looked back. I posted some on your Instagram page. I was out harvesting some wind blown Ash today, with the sound of your harmonica in my mind. Great channel, keep the videos coming. Keep showing knots too. Best wishes from Scotland
