... before you burn it. Wonder that every time I stack wood. Figure at least seven times, not counting falling and limbing.

Rounds
Split
Pile
Load
Unload/stack
Bring into house
Put in stove

I get mine delivered and split. So, stack, into wheel barrow, into house, into stove . I do like the wood stove, but it does get old after a while.

Steve,

that's kinda like asking how many times do I lift the fork to my mouth to finish the steak.

It's what needs done, and I generally don't mind it so I guess I never thought about it.

It does piss me off when I toss a split towards the wheelbarrow and it falls on the ground though..................then I have to handle it again dangit.

Yeah, me too. Or if I don't like how the stack is going and I have to rearrange.

It is a lot of work. Here is a load of ash I cut on my driveway in April.
A chain saw, a cant hook, and a Fiskars maul. Hubsch. Wunderbar. Beautiful.

I love to cut up firewood. I love the smell of two stroke smoke in the morning.

Are you trying to give us depression??

Yes it’s handled several times, never considered that before. At least with BBQ wood, you get some good eats.

Now you'll never be able to not think about it while splitting and stacking. You can thank me later. wink

I don't look at it as work, rather cardiovascular exercise. grin

I also count 8.

Funny how you recognize some pieces of firewood from all that prior handling. Like an old friend until you throw it on the fire.

Since we lost the woods on my sister and BIL's farm I quit dropping trees except for the occasional fenceline . I started buying big block tie ends from the railroad tie factory (it's huge) in Rockland. $30 bucks a ton, mostly oak. I still split the big stuff, but it stacks great, has no bark on it, and the price is right when you figure how much time it takes me to get a cord of wood out of the fields and into the house!

Wood heat, only thing that will heat you up more then once with the same chunk of fuel.

While in the woods here on the homeplace....

1a.Roll rounds into front end loader (handle once)....can do half of the bucket with a nudging foot, i run the loader up next to a convenient oak or hickory after i fell it

1b. Drive the loader back to the house about 1/2 mile thru the woods- Dump out into a massive pile-o’-rounds under my ‘furnace carport’ next to my Heatmor OWB (no handling, just dump, no stacking)

3. No need to split, Heatmor OWB takes 18-20” diameter rounds easily ( so forego that handling)

4. Heave a couple of rounds into the unit on a bed of coals (handle twice)



Looks like twice

I can get about 20 ish rounds at the above sizes into my little 35 hp mahindra.

It's hard work, and gets harder with age. But, it keeps things moving, just takes a little longer. It is satisfying when you have your winter's wood stacked, and you only have to feed the stove. That's a GREAT feeling.

Ha!


I dropped a 22” hickory right in front of the furnace shed last summer. It was on the hillside just right beside the shed. Finished dragging it over to the edge of the driveway and my son foot-rolled all the rounds just right in on the slab.

Gotta love it when Ma Nature and your plans come together in agreement, eh?
