I had a Lopi Republic installed just before Thanksgiving and burned about 2 to 2 1/3 cord this winter. I'm trying to get prepared for next winter and have been working on some scrounge wood that I have available to me.
At home I've stacked this from a standing dead ash that my father-in-law and I took down around Christmas. I burned the top, this is the lower section of the trunk, probably the lower 25 ft or so. It was a pretty big tree!
In process on my driveway (yeah, my neighbors love me!) this winter
C/S/S
I don't have any more room to store more at my house, so my dad said that I could put a stack at his house. This is 1/3 cord of red oak that was given to me by one of the Cub Scout dad's in my son's den, and 1/3 cord of ash that was taken down in my subdivision's common area. There's a good cord plus still laying on the ground that I need to find room for somewhere! This stack is 12ft x 6ft.
When I went to my folks's (who are in Florida) to put the new wood rack up and stack, I turned the corner to his backyard and saw this ash that my dad say's he's been waiting for to fall. Its been stripped of bark for years, so it should be ready for this winter no problem. I'll get it C/S/S before they get home at the end of the month.
With that tree, and what is on the ground in the commons area (assuming I can find a place to stack it!) I should be set for next winter.
