Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on, but I have been busy. Here is my wood setup now. Sorry, it's a video instead of pictures.

MrDan - That's a darned cool set up.  Roger

MrDan, I watched that quite some time ago, pretty dang slick setup!

 Great idea to rotate your wood and cool toy to help you do it.

This is my tractor moving a 1/2 cord of fire wood on a pallet.  I build the pallets myself.  I place the pallet next to the OWB.  Once it's empty I simply swap out the empty for a full pallet.  It saves me from handling the wood more than once.

Nice looking set up Dan, I watched that a while back.

Nice wood hauler roger!

I second that   Very cool nice thinking.         I guess you just need to weld some stops  on the end so if your ever by yourself you don't push off the end.

I don't have any pictures of my wood pile and by looking at what is in these pic I do know that I don't have enough wood stacked yet. I do have one question for you guys.......why are you splitting the wood when you can feed the stove with logs? Will the split wood not burn faster? I understand if its too big to handle or too big around to go in but what i'm seeing in some of these pics looks to be small stuff. Just wondering.

For me...Split wood is easier to handle and better stacking

What MattyNH said.  Plus my OWB is EPA phase II compliant and it burns much better with wood that's split between 4 and 8 inches diameter.  Granted I have some larger stuff, but none larger than 10 inches diameter, and not much of it.  This type of OWB needs wood that's well seasoned and to achieve that it needs to be split.   Roger

The small splits in my pics were actually cut a couple of years ago for a small wood stove i had in my pole barn, I'm cuttong them longer now and not splitting them as small.

Here are some pics of my setup. This is only my second season with a owb...moved to this property (that had the burner) a year ago.

[Scott7m]

Lord what a stack!

[Tree_Killer]

Talking about owb chimney?

Last year I had a 5' chimney, and we were getting a lot of smoke in our house eve. I only had green wood and mostly pine. I also know our neighbors don't like the burner...closest has allergies.  So I figured I would extend it up this year. Plus I have all hardwood, and somewhat seasoned wood this time.    The chimney is 3 3' sections and one 2'.
