Sweet pile of stove chow you have there. Nice a tidy. If your anything like me, you will have to check your stack daily (with beer in hand), just to see how its doing.

OMG dude I do just that myself!!! I love to see all the check marks as my wood seasons, beer in hand of course.. Matter of fact I think it’s ready to burn already I am glad I am not the only one that does this!

Well now I feel better. I use iced tea in place of beer though. Our pool sits right by my stack so i’ll be tanning and watching the pile dry.

You don’t want to know what my orthodontist’s bills were like as a kid! Kept mom and dad busy trying to make ends meet.
There’s about 20 cords in that picture. That was last summer. By Fall I had about 35 stacked in that spot. Most of it is still there, but I did put a dent in it over the winter.
