I'm in the process of building a "toy barn" aka wood shed. I had to move ALL of my wood. Thank god for palletized wood. I moved over 20 cord in about 4 hours. Dad helped with spotting the dunnage for the ground. Stacked over 75 pallets along my driveway.
Anyway.. I had a couple of pallets that gave out. (pretty much just my construction errors from back when I started) So I put them down next to the house.. figuring I'd clean em up as I burned em up.
It's going on 3 year red oak. I started feeding a bit in tonight. I had some big chunks that resplit and tested in the low 20s. Some down at 20. I had some hemlock that was 17. I had some mixed ash and such that was all high teens.
WOW! off to the races! Half a firebox is running right up near rated output. I'm doing the dishes and the laundry. Wife's going to take a bath.. and I'll still probably top out the storage over 195.
Dry wood! There are several on here that preach it. I have seen the light![shock !!! !!!](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/shock.gif)
