Just ordered two wheeler loads of firewood to go with the one stuck in the mud out back. Probably will use 10 cord this year maybe less since I started mixing in coal. Will have it all split and stacked by August hopefully. I will make sure I have enough ready for another bad winter this time.

I've got 4 1/2 cords still in the wood shed, nine cords split and ready to be piled, and nine cords blocked up, ready to be split.  I burn about seven cords a year so all in all, I am about three years ahead.

Went out and skidded 8 big dead ash out of the woods this AM with the skid steer. Figured I had plenty of time since the wife was just starting to get ready.

Would have got more but logging trail was starting to get muddy even with the tracked skid steer. My old tractor I used to use for that would have been stuck for sure, also had one that didn't quite go where I wanted, ended up against another tree so the hinge didn't break. Also have a few other monsters that are pointing the wrong way, most likely cut those into ten foot logs and carry em out with the grapple.

Not a bad start. Stumps are already deeply checked, that ash is already pretty dry.

Several customers here get by semi train load. Comes out to $50-58/cord cut n split from a processor. Not seasoned.  I will have to get the source info and post it here.
All of next years wood has been siting for 2 years already, oak and hedge that is. Beech and ash are over a year old. I'm a miser for getting the most out of my wood, so taking moisture out of the equation makes for a smaller pile and less problems and maintenance.

Finally dry enough to move some wood out by my shed. And my two sons are getting old enough to help pile it. Got this done today.

I have about 5 cords of Cherry/Walnut stacked.  I need to work on this pile of Chinese Elm this weekend so my grass can grow!  I'm gussing I have about 10 cords all together.  This is really the first year I have been ahead with my wood.  I think the main reason is because I bought a splitter this year.  I can be much more productive now and don't dread it as much.  Just grab a 12 pack and a buddy and go to town!

Here's my stack.  It didn't upload on the other post for some reason.
