Wood Envy in Europe

[Kenster]

I just returned from two weeks in the Alps of Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany. Everywhere we went I spotted huge, neat, long rows of stacked wood. Tons of it around virtually every house, lining roads and driveways, out in the open or in wood sheds. Cords and cords out in the middle of nowhere stacked between trees.
In almost every case there was a corrugated metal or fiberglass strip covering just the tops of the stacks, leaving the sides exposed. I've never seen so much processed firewood. Mile after mile of it. Sorry, no pics. I spotted all of this while I was going down the highways in a motor coach.

I have always said that wood cutting and stacking must be a required college level course in Switzerland. Every stick is exactly the came size and stacked like a work of art.

My wife is from Germany and these pics are from our trip there this past January. I never really noticed them before when we would go, but, now I am a scrounger and these would be great to get my paws on. This is in Rheinland Pfalz in southwest Germany.

The Germans make nice neat stacks.
