Cold and snow coming, were ready.

Gonna be pretty cold here too so I have my indoor rack that holds a day or so and some extra on front porch right by the door

Loaded my usual 4 days worth in today.

Its always Freekin cold here.

P.S Having a few weeks worth is defo a good idea. I had to shovel my way out and shovel my way to the wood pile.

Maybe 2 days worth by the stove, a winter worth under the deck which is well protected.

I keep at all times on my closed in porch about 1 cord. Then every weekend or there about I refill. I do this till middle Feb. Then burn down what is left on porch. Any left will go toward the start of next year. Don't keep any by the stove mine is high and dry.

We keep about 1 day's worth inside the house next to the VC Encore 2in1. We only burn from about 4pm -11p, so we don't need too much. We do have about 9 cords in the new wood shed, and another cord or two on the side of the garage. We typicaly move the wood from the stacks to the shed to the inside the garage, then into the house. The garage is only 50' from the house, and the wood shed is maybe 80' away. Not much land, but certainly we should be good to burn with what we have until 2017 +/-

We keep a log holder full by the stove, but keep a rack full in the garage along with an overloaded wheel barrow. When I'm home, I make trips back and forth to the garage for wood, and leave the log holder near the stove full for the Wife so she doesn't need to refill it.

I keep a log hold with 2-3 days worth next to the stove, and ~1/3 cord stacked in the garage, literally on the other side of the wall from the log hold. This stash is for the wife when I am away, or we are in the middle of a storm and don't feel like going out.

I have an 8' log rack (very similar to Beer Belly's) that I load up during the weekend. On most weeks that will get me till the following weekend, on frigid weeks like this, I'll probably have to make a trip out to the stacks on Friday.

We keep a 2' high by 3 1/2' long pile in the same room as the stove. Small firebox, so it actually lasts longer than you'd think.

Snowing here as we speak. We have one of those round firewood hoops in the living room. Holds a good three days worth, burning around the clock.

Just brought in a load of red oak, filled it near to the top. According to the weather guessers, we're gonna need it.

I have a rack like beerbelly or brant2000 in my garage, holds about a face cord. Usually last about a week, in really, really cold weather 3 days

This is around 4 or 5 days worth depending on T-Stat setting.



Any left on the rack during reload is put to one side and then placed on top.

It's been known to last 3 days when its silly cold.

Next season I will make a multi stage rack that will hold splits and stump wood.

This will last me about a week during weather with lows of 20s - 30's and 40-50 days. Weather like what's coming in the next few days probably ~4 days. Difference between 12 hr and 8 hr cycles. I need 3 full loads a day when it gets in the single or low double digits. I'm in NC and nothing about us is built for single digit temps including my house. [emoji16]

3-5 weeks worth will fit stacked in the wood room depending on how cold it stays. 3 cord in an attached wood shed accessible by pass through. With the amount of snow we get here ,,,,, easy access is a plus.

I may have to stack some more up. Forecast calls for lows around 10 tomorrow and next day. That's cold around these parts. I'm about to see if the 13 can handle it.

Is my picture not showing up? I'm seeing it when I open the thread.

I stack 2 days worth on the second landing of the basement steps and have the huge wheelbarrow stacked in the shed ready to pick from that. Twice a week I go to the stacks and pick my next victims to burn. They all can't wait.

Yeah it is now. Wasn't showing when I commented. Maybe a problem at my end.

Nice Set up BTW

Two teaspoons

Noob here. Heating my house with a new insert. It's great heat for a 100 year old leaky house. Here's my stash right under the porch. Made some racks and have about a cord stored there.

2 stoves complicates explaining my system... but I'll try and explain it.
5 days go under the sunroom, outside the basement door which is covered and very dry (4'x4' stack). 5 days go on the front porch rack which is under the roof. 2-3 days inside the basement on the basement rack. 2 days go on the rack in the upstairs stove room... its complicated. but works very well. although i really don't use the upstairs stove very often. just from time to time at night or early morning to take the chill out of the house (so my 2 day supply will last nearly a week). basement stove keeps most of the house around 70, but i will say running 2 stoves is just plain fun.

My rack

I have a rack on the covered porch which is very close to my stove, it holds 1/3 a cord. I have a small log rack next to the stove that holds 1-2 days worth.
