Just for fun-

Here are two pictures of my wood pile for the first season- all the wood left from clearing our home site. Mostly sugar maple and ash. I already have a back-ache just looking at this pile!

If you intend to burn it this coming winter, you'd better get it bucked up and split as soon as possible. My 2009 - 2010 wood is in the woodshed and my 2010 - 2011 wood is stacked and covered outside getting plenty of airflow. 38 years of wood burning have convinced me that wood doesn't dry adequately until it is split.
