Some pics from different years. That stuff sure looks rich when freshly split.

Redneck Lloyd,
Up yonder in that thar place called Minnesota you'll be piling up fast.
I spent two weeks in January in Bemiji/ Laporte area and with all those dipstick engine warmers
and the highest temp was -8 F, I'd HATE to see some of those utility bills you guys endure.

I'm paying out 100-130 monthly. It's higher in summer with running the A/C. LOL

It's my first season so it's only supplemental. Next year I'll be ready. I have standing deadwood and slab wood cottonwood. I spend 500-1000 on oil and the power bill is 2-300 sometimes a little more. Hoping with the insert and stove in the shop I can cut it in half this year. I didn't buy any propane to heat the shop. So I forced myself into cutting wood. Ha. I'm in the red river valley too, so 5 days a week At least the wind howls 20+ sustained. I have a good shelter belt on the north and west sides. But nothing on the south and east. Another project for spring planting trees!

Have you considered seeing a psychiatrist?
All of my neighbors think I am nuts, and my setup is a small fraction of yours.
Seriously though- AWESOME!
neighbors think I am nutz., city keeps agreeing with them. And the war rages on.

@Wood Dog The white dog is a mixed breed, mostly terrier, was some years ago. That one was a male and started out as a turd but quickly mellowed into a really good dog. I used to do dog fostering, he stayed for pretty close to a year.
Stacking in a per year basis seems to work well enough, it does make for large stacks though. As a bonus. the wind does not have a chance to topple them. What did I win?

Back in the latter part of the 1800's, there was a great deal of lumber taken from northern Wisconsin and Michigan. Long before chain saws. It is heavy load for sure. Now I wasn't there at the time but I've read that there were watering teams which generally ran during the coldest hours. They would create ice for the rails to slide over, making it pretty easy to draw the load. Makes ya wonder about braking though.
