That's amazing that they stay in the bed like that at such a steep angle.

Yee Haw! You are going to love those slabs and blocks. You can pack the stove tight with shapes like that.
Nice work.
Nice work.

Nice, how did you find these? Interested in how these blocks came to be so I can look for some in my area. As others mentioned they will be great to stack in.
Does that stacking method invite trapped water between the blocks? I had some dimensional stuff once that I stacked too tight. It didn't take long for the signs of decay to crop up. Had to break it back down and do more of a "sticker" type stack.

Chazcarr, you can get slabs like that from folks that work in construction, landscaping, road work, etc. A neighbor brings me some on occasion, the slabs are dunnage for paver stones and blocks he uses at his job sites. If you know anyone in those lines of work, never hurts to ask.

I'll look into it. Learned a new word today as well. "Dunnage" had to look that one up. Seems that type of stuff would be perfect for the wood stove.
Depending on the "type" it can also be a fair amount of work to get it all cut to size. I get all I want from work of 2 x3" and 4 x 5" stuff. A sawbuck really comes in handy. I use some of it for the "kindling", if you would call it that.

Seems like those would be a candidate for a free air flowing bin, rather than stacking.
I see very minimal airflow.
Just observing, not dissin'.
Is this stuff kiln dried?

Happens to me all the time with a canon camera that has auto rotate up and MacOSX. I never know what is going to get sent to a web site cuz it's not always WYSIWYG.
And - given this is a wood /stove forum I figured the truck wasn't found.
I'm pretty smart, huh ?
That's a bit of work stacking.
Last time I had cut offs they were dimensionally dissimilar so stacking was out of the question.
I just made a bin out of fence and tossed 'em in.
I was a bit more sloppy cutting firewood then too so all the shorties went into the same bin.
