I figure if I'm showing you pics of my ugly wood stacks (vs. the guys who post those picture perfect, neat-as-a-pin with every split the same size, length and diameter) I should also show you some pics of my ugly wood in the wood stacks . . . I pretty much burn everything and don't discriminate. Crotches, bent wood, abused-by-the-splitter pieces . . . they're all good to burn once seasoned.
Here are a few of my "lookers" . . . so much for the neat pile of white birch in the log holder beside the fire, huh?
In fairness, the pine in one of these pics is actually in my camp fire pile . . . it's fine to burn . . . and in fact burns very well . . . but it had some ants in it originally and split up wicked hard so I took some of the less stackable pieces to burn when folks come visiting. The other piece as you might guess is the dreaded elm . . . fresh cut and run through the hydraulic splitter.
