After refining my firewood setup I have decided I will never stack firewood again. On today's episode I'm doing what I do whenever I get a spare moment. The pile of firewood that needs splitting never seems to end and so I"m utilizing my utility trailer to get the log rounds off the ground en route to being nicely split and thrown into IBC cages. After years of stacking firewood my body decided that there must be a better way. Loose-stacking firewood (or as I like to call it: throwing) helps me to reduce the amount of effort and energy required to get my firewood where it needs to go en route to drying. Each IBC cage full of firewood you see on today's episode holds about 1/2 to 2/3 of a face cord of firewood. Using a hydraulic wood splitter helps me to further reduce the amount of energy that I need to expel when getting the firewood ready for drying. Over the years I've found the firewood that gets loosely-thrown into the IBC cages dries very well as the air is able to get all the way around the wood without issue. Then to finish things off, I'm able to use my tractor and forks to move around the IBC cages of wood close to where it's needed for heating. Thanks for watching folks, here we go!
