BeGreen said:Last winter was relatively mild out here. We used less wood than anticipated so I had to empty the shed of 3/4 cord of the old wood, then put in the new, and back fill the front row with the old wood. Now it will be the first to be used. 3+ cords of softwood ready to go. On the other side, is the hardwood. That's gold out here and will not get used until we need real heat. We have holly, locust and cherry waiting for those nasty days.
I built a shed roof off the side of my deck that holds 2 rows deep 16 feet long and 4 feet high. It's hard to get at the wood in the back and I usually refill the shed when the front row is gone. The back row is all black locust and it's 3 years old now. I have less dry wood this year than last so that locust is going up in smoke come January. I'll be glad to see it gone, I burned it almost exclusively for a whole winter.......a good mix is far better.
