Bud man that's what I do split into bucket of loader then dump it in a hay wagon you can hear it screaming then let it sit outside all summer then get it under cover n pull it up next to stove n cover it good I put two pole in the ground to tie the tarp to so I don't have to be in the snow,rain when loading,less handing of the wood,I picked up a forage wagon for this also works good,I don't want a building where the stove is just my setup,I can't pile n cut n split where stove is
