Pulled the tarp off the piles today to shift it over onto some of the newer rows. The two rows that got me through the season left a 6 foot section of the tarp hanging over the sides of the next row. Moved it over so it tops the rows only. Took the pick from atop the pile after pulling the tarp off to reposition it.

Sweet
How many cords?
I see several wood types.
How well is it seasoning being covered & stacked this compact?
 
Got wood? :p
 
Looks like a firewood highway! How many cord do you have there?

Nice stacks of wood, we want the picture of you on top of the stacks.

mywaynow, that is a nice wood pile. We've stacked that way many times and as long as you have long drying times it works well. But I don't like tarps for covering. It is a last resort for us to use the tarps.
 
looks like a wood oasis to me. Great work!
 
The rows are about 2.25 cord each, and there are 7 rows. After the seventh row, my insanity has taken hold and I have been stacking species-specific wood on plastic pallets. It makes it harder to determine cords, but I would say I have 4-5 cord in that manner. The stuff is seasoning very well, but I am getting 2.5 years minimum c/s/s, and now will get even longer times. One thinig I was curious about was the concern about condensation. The wood on the top layers is dry and free of any mold. There is alot of breeze in this spot, and the rows are run parallel to the wind. As far as types, it is mostly Red Oak, with equal parts Ash, Beech, White Oak, Maple and Walnut. I intend to keep the stacks tarped on the top at all times. We get plenty of rain in the spring, summer and early fall, and the stacks are in a shady area. The stuff I burn't this season was great burning wood. I don't own a MM, and don't know if I ever will. I may find somebody that has one and split and measure a piece out of the next row just for curiousity's sake.

Slow business over the winter has made for this pile to grow nicely. Couldn't be happier with oil bending us over the fence once again.
 
Worry not. That wood will give you pleasure for a long time.
 
Yeah buddy - that's a nice stack! Sit back and enjoy the look of it! Beautiful.
