I saw other people posting things about there wood pass through and other such stuff and thought we could get them into one thread. Thought I would share my set up with everyone and was wondering what kind of rig/set up you have to move, store, split and stack your firewood?
We live in a ranch home with a full walk out in the back, so it looks like a 2 story from the rear. You can see in the pics we store our wood under our back deck. I split under there using my 27 ton log splitter and I am working on a better way to stack it.
I'm disabled so I use to have my kids lump the wood up the stairs by hand (9 cords a year!) and then I decided there had to be a better way so I built a swing arm with a hoist on it and bolted it to one of the support beams on the deck. I use an old wheel barrel that the bottom side has rotted away.
On top, my son and I built a face cord rack out of spare lumber. Then we use a wood dolly to bring the wood inside ( 2 trips and the inside rack is full). Again, I use to have the kids do this an arm load at a time, but that was letting out to much heated air.
Cost to do this was not bad:
Splitter: $360 new. (Amazing deal that would take way to long to explain)
Wheel barrel: Free
Swing arm: $48 in metal
Hoist: $109 new
Face Cord Rack: $5 in screws
Wood dolly: $50 new
Inside rack: $20 new
Making the kids do this manually as discipline, priceless.......
