That is pure class, really, that is the best I ve seen, real quality and dedication to firewood, if its okay I ll download the photo for future ideas!
Is it Elm in the pile at the front?
 
Thanks Gasifier. Its nearly all Wych or Scots Elm that got diseased, I ve an abundance of it. The bigger rounds I usuaully put at the front, and they go into our Morso, though they are not that big. We have a Jotul f118 so next winter I will cut longer and split thinner.

I've never heard of a Morso. How do you like it? How do you like the Jotul? Love the pic of Willy!:)
 
Carbon Lib show them the bomb shelter beneath the wood shed. Although I've seen pics of that wood shed a hundred times, I'm always impressed.

Morso are famous in Europe and I know they sell in the USA and Canada, they are a high quality cast iron stove manufacturer. Jotul are brilliant and I have toured their factory in Norway, I could post some photos if you like? Our f118 nearly heats all the home and never needs rekindled. I ve owned many stoves and i think jotul and morso are the best, maybe jotul has the edge, slightly, just my own view. Willy Campbell is a star, I m sure I m related to him !

Mine is open on 3 sides with one side up against my boiler building. Holds about 14 full cord. There is a door that opens right into the woodshed, and I can even stack about 2 face cords in the building. You can see the boiler building in my avatar pic

You've been here for a bit . . . by now you surely must know that we love looking at stove porn! :)
 
i'd be emarrassed to post a photo of my woodshed after seeing some of these works of art. actually, i inhereted it from the previous owner. but...a new one is on my list of projects - (gotta rebuild a porch, kithcen and 1 bath first:confused: ) i'm scratching my head on this one cuz the place where it must go is narrrow, along the edge of my driveway and there is a steep slope beyond. means if i need more capacity i need to dig piers and suspend it. who the @$#&* wants to build a suspended floor burly enuf to hold 8 cords of wood? yeah right! in my spare time!!

Thanks Angus, you are certainly welcome to download, but you already have a great looking woodshed, I really like the wood stain color and rugged board construction. Very nice.
Almost all the firewood I cut, including the wood you see in the picture, is beetle killed Lodgepole pine.
 
Carbon_Liberator that woodshed is truly amazing, thank you for showing it to us.

Billy.

Hi carbon l, thanks. The wood stain is very cheap, it is used engine (tractor) oil with a bit of creosote mixed in, it never fades.
It's good you use dead, or dying wood, that's the same with me. Nice video

Haha, I love stove porn, I reckon the wife thinks that I have a problem, but I'm lucky, she doesn't mind.
 
My little 10' x 10' x 8' (down to 7' in the back) isnt much...... But its something.

All these sheds (Carbon Liberator, I envy thee!) Make me want a BIGGER One!!

Maybe next year? I have a 30 x 40 Cleary building in the back. But its about 100 yrds away... (in background of bottom pic)

Carbon Lib, what was the deal with that space? Did you discover that while building the wood shed? I don't remember.

Yeah you got it, it was an old water cistern I found when building the shed/fence. I figured rather than just cover over it and ignore it, I'd pump it out and clean it up and try and make some use of it. Here is a picture of what it looked like inside when I found it.

Thanks. You did well with it. That is really cool.
 
Tfdcheif, what's the inside of that mancave look like? I'm very curious.
