That is quite a operation going on there Andrew!
Love the IBC totes thing, I will have to resort to a different/stationary stacking for seasoning way.

Small score: one of my Poplars went down after a small storm. Unlike a lot of burners, I like Poplar. Easy to process, fast to dry, leaves very little ash. Perfect for SC TN weather and climate.

It missed both my Chicken Shak and my shop:



Incredibly hard work and labor moving it up to my firewood processing area. Like we're talking slave labor hard work here:



More incredibly hard work bucking it up. Let's count the ways: We have to bend WAAAY over to reach the wood, we have to lift the saw soooo high, we have to move several times to make a clean cut - and then we run the risk of digging the saw into the hard stone surface. We're talking incredibly hard work here!






And then there is the huge labor involved in getting rid of the stump! It must have taken seconds, if not a minute or so to dump it off into the woods. Incredible effort!



In fact, just making this post drained me of so much energy, I think I need another Jack and Coke!!!

@AlfA01 what percentage of a cord chucks in a tote?

 

[Stihl036]

@AlfA01 what percentage of a cord chucks in a tote?

It depends on the length of wood.

These numbers are from memory and may not of even been correct when I read them years ago.

Stacked cord 128 cu/ft
Tossed cord wood cut 16" 180 cu/ft
Tossed cord wood cut 18" 190 cu/ft
Tossed cord wood cut 20" 200 cu/ft

How many cu/ft in your totes?

Your mileage may vary.

 

[Hoser]

My truck is 168 cu/ft holds 3 face cord of 14” wood 3.5 face in a cord.
Small Ibc totes hold less than 1/3 of a full cord tossed, the large ones I’ve found hold a 1/3 tossed in my experience

 

[AlfA01]

@AlfA01 what percentage of a cord chucks in a tote?

To be honest I’ve never measured with totes. I sell with cubic meters or by the ton. A cubic meter is the same as our totes but no one here knows about face cords. I’d estimate at least three cubic meter totes in a face cord.

Utilize a Dolmar (not Makita!) chainsaw, so much faster.

I quarter stumps and burn them in my shop cast iron fireplace.
Heck, today I burnt 3 buckets full of ice and snow covered turkey oak bark!
Short chimney pipe works wonders, just get a good ember bedding and You can burn a bucket full of water!

I pity You having had to go through that much trouble and work!

That’s Kosta. You never know what he might have been up to. Lol.

I sold most of the good stuff right away to a fella that wanted to fix his own flooring. Those particular trees were young and had very little straight wood.

They rarely do!

True. I’m supposed to see some big olive trees today. Maybe I’ll find something slab worthy.

Left front pile is cherry, back left and right some locust.
Not mine, I helped a neighbor with last summers storm cleanup in his orchard.
My saws, my tractor, I did the BBQ.

 

[FTG-05]

Here is a White Oak that came down on my neighbor's property and my property during a late summer storm.

There are two trunks that broke off the main trunk, shown just barely right of center. The tree itself is on my neighbor's property as-is the trunk on the right; the one on the left (the one I'm getting ready to cut) fell on my property.



On the way up my hill. You've heard the old saying "What goes up must come down."? Well, on my property: what goes down, must come up. My house is just barely visible in the center of the pic:



Not a bad haul for the day; the Cedar on the right was broken off and taken down when the White Oak came down.



On the way back to the shop and now it's Miller Time!:




Thanks for looking!
