  1. WoodButcher80 Feeling the Heat

    was coming home from camping today in southern ohio... drove past this.... cant even fathom how many cords are here. it was about 15-20' high, 30 yards wide and 75 yards long. . . behind the pile he had hundreds of those plastic-wrapped 5-10 piece bundles. . . so obviously commercial. click pic to enlarge and drool

    Wow, just think how much that is worth if they sell it all in those small plastic wrap packs like at the local gas stations? It's about $5 per bundle around here.

    Especially now that you can't bring firewood into Ohio due to the Emerald Ash Borer problem.

    Did you ever wonder how they get that stuff down without it falling on their head? Around here, frost heave would topple a pile like that.

    Well, if not he'd have to be heating a hell of a house! He'd have to have someone loading the stove full time, and another 2 guys cutting & splitting.

    Well, it's pretty big, I guess... But 3 question marks and 2 exclamation points big? I don't know about that.

    There has got to be a lot of rotten wood under that pile. No way air or sun will get to it.
    I think they need to stack it properly!

    They should make a holz hausen and take the Guinness record for it. This would also definitely put the cap on the fabled "stack effect" myth in a HH.

    That pic makes me want to play King of the Hill right now!!! Maybe with a real forceful running start, I could make it at least a quarter of the way up before my inevitable end. Reminds me of a gigantic beaver dam.
