Hi. My first post. I am in the second week of my central boiler 6048. Will be illegal to buyin Indiana this year. A neighbor has an older system and came by to look mine over.

During conversation he heard od people using 4 foot diameter culvert pipe to store firewood. Just use hay forks to pick up and transport. Serms pretty slick. I thought i could cut up the fallen trees around the farm, lfill the culvert at the cutting site, then deliver it to the boiler when needed.

Anyone using this method?

Haven't heard of that before but it just might work.

I use hay racks. Old wagon running gears are cheap, put flooring from old abandoned hog confinements on them and you have a rolling 7'X15' firewood storage solution. I let them sit out in the wind and sun until Nov. of the year I need them then back them in the shed to keep snow off them. I pull them out and back them into the shed the boiler is in when I need them.

If you could find used culvert but buying culvert isn't cheap

My brother replaces the old type brodges with some new type of culvert, and could likely bring me scrapped out ones from job sites, and I could likely hit up the county road dept. For what they drag back.

I wouldnt want to try cutting one to size. Doesnt sound like how I want to spent time.
