New house - new stacks and a new shed pleanty of Pics

[Auzzie Gumtree]

I recently moved house and due to the amount of seasoned wood i had i decided to take as much as i could with me. The only problem was i had to use a Bobcat to move it all and in doing so i also moved a lot of soil / mud broken pallets etc with it.

I have eventually tidied up the area and even filled a wood shed that was already there.

You have done well , now kick back and enjoy a beer or two.

I really love it here - originally from the UK - so a big difference. We live up in the Hills so it get quite cold during winter - nothing like you guys but 5 degrees c (40 f) is bloody cold to me. Never get snow but we do get wet winters.

Only on this site do people buy a new house, there are no pics of the house, but pics of wood and dirt.

LOL - you soon get used to high 70's - 80's most of the year......

Still nice wearing shorts and a t-shirt in winter some times now i can wear them indoors and outdoors

Here's the stack when i first moved in. I thought it was ok until i tried to use it last winter and found all the crap in the middle which was all wet and took a long time to fire up.

Ah 40 degrees is prime splitting weather in my opinion.

That's a lot of wood to move. Good job, the beers are well deserved.

This may be a really dumb question , what kind of wood do you burn/ what people use for firewood?

Nice stack!
I'm kinda jealous, I would love to have a view like that out my back door.

Most of the firewood is gum based hardwood. The most common by me is mountain ash the worlds tallest tree. 100 metres tall 330 feet. Nice straight grain easy to split. Similar btu / gsm as oak.
This was taken near me.

Nice!

Since the burn season for us northerners is ending or has already ended, please don't neglect your duties this winter to provide us with a steady stream of cozy fire/burn stories. The numerous news stories of forest/grass fires is not what we need to sustain us.
