Some pics of my setup
« on: October 06, 2017, 09:10:14 PM »

Thought I'd post some pics of my stove setup since I recently completed some work by it.  A couple years ago, I decided to stop digging under a tarp in the winter to get wood for my stove, and I built a wood shed.  It's one of those steel tubing framed, carport thingies from Menards.  (They have small ones in their parking lots for their carts)  I just bought the frame for it since we had lots of pole barn steel left over from my pole barn build.  The shed is about 22.5 long and 24' wide and butts right up to my stove, so my wood, and I... stay nice and dry all winter long.  I even have lights and an outlet out there!

But the new addition that I talked about earlier is the patio out front!



I've always wanted a dedicated area for having fires and making s'mores and thought this would be the perfect location.  Far enough away from the house to get rowdy if needed, but close enough to go back and get another bag of marshmallows.  There's also power for crock pots if needed, and it's easy to wire up some overhead lights too.  (I haven't done that yet, I'll wait till I figure out exactly where I want them)
It also has lots of access to dry firewood... obviously!



As you can see in the pictures, I still need to add a few more pieces of steel to enclose it, and I need to trim out the edges, but I don't like to rush things....
Here's the firepit I made.  I have a CNC plasma cutting table and came up with this design a few years ago.



Here's My daughter and I "breaking in" the new patio with some s'mores!



While we're at it, I'll show you the back.  It's enclosed on three sides with steel, but the back just has a tarp on it.  It's actually one of those billboard tarps so it'll last a while.  I use a 27' piece of old well pipe to roll it up and hang it on a couple of bars coming out the back when I'm filling the shed.





I also store my trailer back there.


You might be able to tell that the wood shed is split into two sections.  I use about half the shed during a season.  I stack it tight and go 7' high.  The side the stove is on holds about 12.1 cords of wood, and the other side holds about 14.7 cords of wood. (The door swings inward and there's a 4' cement slab in front of the stove so that takes up some room) Here's a pic with the door open, going in from the front.



If you go through the door and turn to the right, this is what you'll see.  The stove door is on the right, my tools are hanging on a wooden door I put in. (That's where I empty the ashes)  It goes down a hill into the woods.



If you go in, shut the door, and turn around, this is what you'll see.  There's more wood on that side since it's filled full because there's no need to keep it clear on that side.



I have the one side full and ready for this season, but I only have about half the wood stacked in for next season.



I still have lots of wood to put in there though, but it was too hot to move it during the summer.  I'll finish filling it in the next week or so, then I'm ready for winter!

I was thinking of something similar for my setup. Glad to see it in pics instead of my empty head. LOL. The patio and fire pit will need to be added for sure!!  :post:

I did something similar, not the craftsmanship of the fire pit and away from the boiler.
