my geo lines run horizontal...3 trenches 5 feet wide and 500 feet long pipe goes out in the trench on one side and returns on teh other then into a header about 3050 feet of pipe at 5 feet deep

with no insulation your  heat loss would reach a maximum point and never change.

I dont split any of my wood either.  I dont have a splitter, so any logs over 20" rounds I just "noodle" them in half.   I feel that like the post above, split wood burns faster.   Plus dont have a splitter;  just a MS660 and a MS880 soon... found a used one with 20 hrs on it today.  Gonna pick it up next week.
