Keeping logs dry

[wardy]

yeah its about wind blowing through not how high there stacked surely ?

Thats the great thing about firewood there is no right or wrong way to do it as long as you end up with a good dry product that drys at the speed you want it to.

 

No two people do it exactly the same.

The higher you go the better more wind will catch them

That's the great thing about life.

If we were all the same, the world would be a boring place.

I use 1.7 cube log boxes, and the wood drys fast, no ifs or buts.

 

I also use a Posch Packfix, making 1.6 cube nets, and the wood drys very fast, no ifs or buts

 

Of course - however drying wood with a moisture content as quickly as possible is down to basic physics, therefore the smaller the volume of wood in one mass the faster it will loose that moisture.

 

Drying and handling timber in approx. 1m3 containers is more accessible to the majority of firewood producers, however there will always be exceptions.

 

Drying in log boxes is probably the optimum method of handling firewood if you can afford to invest in the setup and the annual roundwood requirements in advance.

I buy scabby old broken boxes from the local farmers, max £5. Strip every second board, and use the boards I take off to strengthen the boxes at the ends, and base if needed.

Takes a wee while right enough, but its a rainy day job.....

yeah i think it can be done just a bit of tweaking maybe welding but its cheap and recycling also, all good,

If going higher try putting a layer of pallets down in between the wood somewhere, might help season it better. But I like that idea, let us know next year how you got on
