Heating your home/fire wood management and logistics

[FTG-05]

Very nice!! It seems like you were grouping types of wood together, did that just happen that way or was it planned?

It happens mainly because I process either a tree at a time or a group of trees. I also keep firewood separated due to different drying rates for each species. Red Oak and Hickory are OK together because they dry about the same rate i.e. 3 years. Ash, Hackberry, Black Walnut - also good together because they are all ~2 year firewood. Poplar is GTG after one year and is pretty much solid gasoline after 3-5 years. It would make no sense to store Red Oak/Hickory wth Poplar due to differences in drying times.

The thing I keep in very strict control are Hardwoods that I use for smoking meats: Mainly Shagbark Hickory, Red Oak and Black Cherry.

Here is my 10x12' old shed I use for nothing but smoking meats. It's full of Hickory (left) and Black Cherry (right) with some Red Oak mixed in.

Post #11 gave me an "Unapproved" label and wouldn't let me fix it. A message said it suspected a spam post, hence requring approval. It was in a shade of light green as well.

All good now.
