How many years are you ahead in storing firewood?

 

[stoveliker]

3, and a bit.

 

[Wisco Shepherd]

All set for this year and next. Might got up from there if I start getting oak but everything else seems to dry well up on the hill in 2 summers. Or ill just kiln the oak.

 

[Winterpeger]

Two plus.

 

[bigealta]

Barely 2, hopefully anyway.
But i have a huge oak at a rental property that when i get the tree guys to take it down should be at least 2 years worth.

 

[NHWS]

One to two, but I'm still in the process of building out my wood storage. Most of what is available here is fast drying softwoods. I'm pushing fairly hard to get two years of storage space. A third year's worth would be a nice-to-have.

 

[Ctwoodtick]

currently have about enough for this winter only. Stacks at their lowest point in many years. Will be working at that though

 

[30WCF]

I have to finish stacking, but I suspect there will be a total of about 3-4 years.

 

[fvhowler]

Just about 3 years.

 

[Slimdusty]

Almost 2 years ahead

 

[Gearhead660]

Roughly 6 years out...haven't done much this summer, been taking a break.

 

[Todd]

I have two years worth stacked in my woodshed, another 2 years worth stacked in rounds and another two years worth of 8’ logs piled at my wood processing area.

 

[Grinnell]

Well........close to 5 years but we are weekenders at the cabin, have been doing fire mitigation which means about 130 trees in the last 2 years and more to come, got a huge barn to store it in

 

[Woodsplitter67]

Im about 4 years ahead burning wood as my primary heat source..

If you miss it you can drop off a few cords at my place

 

[Pinesmoke]

Right now waiting on some grade work around the house before I set racks. I have a cord of oak ready to go and a bunch of pine bucked and piled. With all the standing dead pine I have I'm not overly concerned right now.

Moving south I went from 4 cords a year too under 2 last winter. When I get the racks set I'll stay about 2 years in front. That's the plan anyway.

 

[thewoodlands]

We're five years ahead on our hardwood but we also burn pellets, 50 to 73 bags per year. This is the first year we didn't buy pellets so we'll see how much more wood we use.

Nice.
The pine should be good when seasoned in one full summer there I think (I can do that here as well; got it down to 14-16% in one summer).

Nevertheless, being ahead is a good (secure) feeling; if sh*t happens, you're going to be good for two years.

 

[johneh]

I have 5 years dry and ready for the furnace plus 2 years worth in the 1st year of drying
and another 2 years in log form. Now this is all thanks to my boys at 75 I no longer can
process firewood My heart and body will no longer take the abuse. So the kids do the
processing and cut off our 200-acre hardwood bush lot. I now supply the beer, sharpen
the chains and pay for the log truck to bring it home. It's not a bad deal for 5 cords of sugar
maple and red oak.

 

[patrickk222]

About an extra 3/4 years worth o wood when i get a few more loads itll be mote

 

[hearthon]

5-10 but I only burn in the shed for fun

Not missing it! Been hitting it hard for the past 4 years to get where I am. Now I just need to keep up with my usage each year.

 

[weee123]

Im almost at 4 years worth now and will definitely be there by the end of summer.

 

[JRHAWK9]

I'll just say I'm good for awhile.
