Predominantly ash with some oak mixed in, between 10inch to 3ft diameter and about 6/8ft lengths?

That's what I have done, there are about 30acres of woodland spread over of the farm that had been untouched for 20years and my father in law got a grant to thin it out and to replant certain species, although I'm not sure of the specifics. But needless to say I have access to a large amount of cord that has been sat for at least 12months. What's the longevity of cord that's sat in a stacked pile?

I might just have to look at pricing up a new small shed plus concrete floor. I would like to set myself up properly if I'm going to be doing it for a while which I hope so as i have always enjoyed working with wood!

Space in the grainstore isn't a problem but I see what you mean about using energy to do a job which can be done for free. A couple of other problems I should have mentioned is I'm rapidly outgrowing my current lean-to I use to store the bags and now I have bought a processor I can only see myself ending up with a bigger pile of wood! Also during the winter the ground gets saturated and gets massively churned up by the telehandler whilst I'm sorting out the logs, I could just put down a load of hardcore and sort out some drainage but again I will need more space as well hence the thoughts about a nice polished dry grainstore has been getting me thinking!

Unfortunately not! We have a grain dryer and then a load of Pedestal driers. I did wander whether it would be effective enough, was thinking about 10 of them in a pile of logs about 150m3? The biggest attraction for me is the idea of being able to have them in a loose pile to bucket up easily.

Hello, Newbie here, got a question for all you log sellers. I'm relatively new to the firewood game (2years) but expanding and just trying to think of ways of utilising what facilities I have available to me and essentially trying to maximise efficiency! I'm based on a large farm (inlaws) so have access to all the usual farm equipment to make handling easy. At the moment I have been processing logs into vented bags and storing them under a lean-to to season. Do you recon it would work to process the logs straight into the grain-store into a big pile and then run a load of column dryers through the log pile to keep air pumping around them to dry them out? And then I could just get a 1m3 bucket for the telehandler and bucket out a load straight into the trailer and not have to worry about the bags stretching/ripping? Should probably mention that we are self sufficient with regards to electricity through a roof full of solar panels so running the dryers wouldn't be an issue. How do you think the logs would store and season with this method? Worth a go or am I just pissing in the wind? Thanks for any advice in advance! Will.
