Last year was my first year burning. I did pretty good imho. I had good dry wood, but I was buying. I scrounged my little butt off all winter, spring, and even summer in the heat and now I'm buried in wood! I live n the burbs. If I have .1 acre I'd be surprised. My stacking area is small to say the least. Long sty short, I'm outta room unless I move 3 plus cords of wood to make room for the cord of Hi Ho silver I scraped up yesterday. I've learned that rows running lengthwise in your stacking area are more efficient use of space. Ask me which way mine run? Oh the joys of burning.....so, today I'm gonna fix that problem......still not sure how. The 3 cords that need moved will only bury my wood for 12-13. Neighbor say I can stack there....not sure if I wanna add a third time of handling 4 cords.
