Nice start whatisup02. What type of wood takes up space in your stacks?

You've got a nice, early start on drying that Ash. If it was me and I had time I would core out the two middle rows and stack them, with a space between the rows, on another set of pallets. Ash dries fairly fast, but you might be pushing it with that many rows stacked together and against the building. You're on the right track, though. Good luck! I don't know, maybe super-dry wood isn't as critical with a furnace...DexterDay said:stejus said:Nice pile of wood. Next time I suggest you leave space between each row, like at least 6" or so.

Nice Stacks.... X2 on the room for air. Will help to "Season" it better. Sun and Wind are your friends with wood....
Great start... You will not be disappointed next year. Very few start getting wood before they get the stove installed.

BillsWS said:whatisup02, after you drive your metal end stakes in, find some scrap cord or rope or even wire and tie them together at the top. As you pile between the poles, they won't lean out as the wire/rope/cord holds the tops of the poles in line.

Notice that we do not use anything at the end of our stacks. I kid zap because he uses t-posts but it is just in good fun. Learning to stack the ends comes just by doing it. At first it may seem simple then the danged thing falls over. Do not despair as it can be done and you will be amazed at how easy it can be. I've had one stack fall over in the last 50 years or so.
Good luck.
