Drying/Seasoning small stuff

Hi,

 

I wondered if any members use small stuff, under say 2" diameter. We were just cleaning up some fallen branches and I've ended up with 5 wheelbarrow loads of that sort of size. At the moment I've just dumped it all in a pile on the floor of the barn, but wondered how others would stack it for drying.

I use a variety of sizes down to below 2 inch in my open fire, burns great. I have made several U shaped frames with legs to keep 2 or 3 metre length off the ground. The sides of the Us support a 2 metre high stack and allow the wind to blow through. Different size timber takes different drying times so I have several stacks. I cover them when partially dry or before the winter. I have a limited wood supply for my own use so use almost everything. The wife sometimes even cuts smaller twigs up with loppers or secateures for kindling. Softwood in the Rayburn and the good stuff for the open fire.
