This works

A friend has hundreds of pieces of thin wall pipe (3/16" or so) about 9 1/2' long he said I can have all I want.

Wish I was was closer, that pipe would work great for a firewood tumbler, even though I think I’m going to use angle iron as the 90 degree edge would face in and might knock more bark off.


This system looks really slick. takes a $1.19 to buy one euro and bags are 18.40 euro. Shipping would be the killer even at roughly $22 a bag. Would definitely need my tumbler built to keep the trash out.

That guy definitely took the wood processing/selling to the next level.  That is what I would call a factory setup.  Those bags are pretty amazing.  Marty if you get your hands on a lot of those bags in quantity pricing I will buy some from you.

It’d be awhile, have to have a tumbler built first, especially with as bad as some of this ash is getting, I imagine to much trash in the bags and it won’t dry. Still at roughly $22 a bag not bad, wonder just how long the bags last though? I have twenty totes I bought, the tall cages can hold a third of a cord each, the short ones it takes four, I’ve been cutting the tops off the tanks and using those as well, takes five of those for a cord, then I take the cut off top and screwing that down over the cage once full.

I like this setup. I turn the cages on thier sides and fasten them down on a wood pallet. Much easier to get wood in and out. I then take a piece of plastic 5x5 and lay over top and tie down keeping the firewood dry. I feel the wood will not rot very fast this way.

Mine, the wife much prefers the racks I build. She’ll stack wood in the cages as well but one side is partially cutout. The cutouts are great for holding paper silhouettes, step em in the ground, tape a target to em then pew pew pew to your hearts delight. She refuses to fill the plastic tanks I screw to pallets, I’m hoping those don’t last very long, as they do kinda suck.

The video states the bags are 1.5 cu M and weigh 650 kgs.  At 430 kg/cu M, and moisture >20%, it sounds like the bags, when filled, may be rated for softwoods.  May have to de-rate the volume for oak or maple.

In the video said the guy buys beech from his suppliers.

Quarry about 50 miles from here uses very similar bags for delivering different kinds of stone, concrete mixes, etc. Each bag holds about 2000lb. Hydro uses them for sand as well.
