Thats a whole lot of stacking. I hate to see the moisture content down in the middle there. As more and more woodburners buy epa stoves, the less and less customers these wood dealers will have, unless they learn to live and let dry:)

Ya mine would be falling over at less than half that height.
But maybe they use the inside pile to brace it as they go higher
 
I hope they dont fall on anyone:eek:
 
Not enough cherry in there though ,,,it may not be his.. IDK..;)

I whish that where true, but I have a feeling most folks will just keep doing what they do, smoulder them then post online how "them newfangled fancy stoves' dont heat as well as their old dragon...

Maybe if we get lucky come here to complain then we can 'school 'em.

I'm thinking they"ll be selling that wood as "seasoned".

I saw a couple of those stacks last month on a ride from New Cannon to Reading. Quite impressive! I was running late and didn't have time to stop and take pictures.
