Got the chainsaw I bought from ebay running properly now and have found a large dead tree in some woods that I can slowly bring home The log pile is about 7ft x 3ft x 3ft now so it's getting there. I made a saw-horse out of old 2x4 and bought a splitting maul too.
Nice, I kind of wish we'd got one with a back boiler...How much wood do you get through each year Peewee?
When I had a wood burner (only heat source in house) I recon I would get through c.2 of what you have stacked up there in a winter... +-50% depending on conditions.. etc..

Quality log pile Stom. Long term plan for a burner like that peewee but expense of install and persuading Ms Bubbs the limiting factors.
always stack your wood bark side down and it should dry just fine.I have been looking at getting a log burning back boiler but every bit of advice I see is that it is just too inefficient compared to gas CH.Just going to stick with an open fire and gas CH in the new house
