Hag Hausen

[Adios Pantalones]

About 1/2 cord- stacked pretty fast on one pallet. The largish pine pieces here make it a bit (marc) messier. Next one will be oak- prolly a bit neater

NIIIIICE. I like the display of your wares, I've been to your website, cool stuff.

I expect your next one to be a Hot Hauzen.

That was stuff out of the "smash"/shard pile. In the fall it was a pumpkin in there.

Fuel Art. Very nice. Kinda like spelling words with the noodles in your alphabet soup before devouring them...except you get to look at this a bit longer (presumably). Rick

 

[Adios Pantalones]

I already started gnawing on it

Where's the door to get in???

 

[Apprentice_GM]

AP that is GREAT!

Especially for one pallet worth. You've been busy lately?

 

[Adios Pantalones]

Fired the beast this weekend, unloaded tonight. Making a LOT of pots.

Check the picture forum under "pics of hot things" for some good shots of the fire.

I like this a lot. My only question is.... Will this stay up after it seasons? My piles seem to want to shift a lot when they dry out and I wonder if the house would get to tilting a lot.

The corners are all box stacked- usually very stable for me

I am often asked if my round holz hausen are hollow. Can you stand up inside that hag hausen?

 

[Adios Pantalones]

It's full up. I might be able to stand inside that window area... but not a person of average height

piss-poor wood drying per design, though pretty

Not sure I agree my man- it's smaller than a holtz haus so that moisture gets out easier. A standard HH i supposed to dry almost as quick as a freestanding stack. Easy to cover with scrap plywood

It's a bit thicker than a double layer stack, but not as wide. Got to think in 3 dimensions... or 5 if you're fixin junker UFO's for resale

 

[Adios Pantalones]

I dunno- I made 2 HH's last year and the wood was fine when I went for it. Not sure about relative times, but good enough is good enough.

Big thing was just having fun with how it looks, and space

 

[karri0n]

I Agree with the looks/ space. Drying time has been shown to be on par with a straight stack, but a HH you could probably count as "landscaping". Not that I personally think a straight wood pile is detrimental to the looks of a yard(I rather like the look it adds), but folks with Homeowner's ASSociations or whiny neighbors will probably get much more leeway with 5 cord in a HH thn 5 cord in straight stacks.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

The HH and this design are different- only reason I like the aesthetics more than straight stack (which I do like as well)

With the hag Haus (named after me- Paul Haigh)- I can count the number, divide by 2- and know how many cord there are

Wait a minute...I..I..I...think I got it.

 

[Adios Pantalones]

It be easy if yur ciphrin like Jethro

carry the naught and add 2...

 

[Adios Pantalones]

Update- evidently the peaked roof puts too much outward force on the walls- part collapsed. Next one needs a flying buttress.
