Well i have been on the site one year now. This is my first proper season burning wood i did try last year but the quality of the bought seasoned wood was very poor.
I have started burning 24/7. It is so nice to wake up and come home to a nice warm house. Not sure how much wood i am going to use but my first estimate is 'a lot'. When i first started i made my rows 4 foot high but now i am running out of room the rows are ~ 7 feet high and stacked against each other. Not exactly sure how much wood i have but there are 24 rows of 4 pallets.
You can see how much i have used so far this year in the 3rd picture. I take my Ute down to the wood store and fill it up. It takes 5 wheel barrows to fill it. Then i take the ute upto the house and load a log rack i made out of an old bed and the ute load fills it up. this lasts about 5 days. I am thinking about a 1/3 of a cord a week - does this seem normal - average? i am hoping i will have enough for 3 years here.
Once this season is finished i will split the rounds at the front of the pile and replenish but leave a gap between the 2 piles so i can still get to the seasoned stuff first.
