Here’s my current splitting setup.
I just added the hoist this year. I plan on mounting it on two telephone poles for permanent. The tractor was just to use this year and to test. It works great! I know the skidding tongs aren’t meant for lifting but they work great!
Here’s the storage.
I know it’s not the most ideal as air can’t hit it from all directions but there’s walking space and a wide open chamber for moisture to rise.
It’s a mixture of hedge, hickory, hackberry, and Siberian elm(Chinese elm). I know Siberian elm is not a preferred wood but I had two drop two trees and didn’t want to waste it. The new log splitter works so well at splitting that stuff though! Referencing this link though, https://extension.usu.edu/forestry/resources/forest-products/wood-heating it’s about on par with green ash when dried.
I still have more to split and might have to utilize some outdoor covered storage for some of it. I never dreamed I could fill up a 35’ grain bin!
I got my wood stove 3 years ago and am hoping starting next year to be on to 3 year aged wood. This year is two year aged hickory and 3 year hedge/osage.
Thanks for looking!
