Hey Guys!   Loved stumbling upon this forum!!! I read all of your posts regarding firewood.
I have a 230 yr old Stone farm house that I heat with wood. I use a Hearthstone- Mansfield Soapstone Stove.
(I also have 2 gas furnaces) Currently have about 10 cords seasoned. I use a 6 mil plastic only covering the top layer,
pitched so water runs off. I'll use about 5-7 cords, depending on temps in central Jersey. NO ice or wet logs for me!

Great Site! Obviosly I'm new and just found you guys by doing a Google search while trying to find out why I couldn't get on to AS.

Funny coincidence, I live in Kingwood NJ which is only about two or three miles from Pittstown where WoodBurner19 is from.

I cut my wood the year before, stack and leave it uncovered until a couple of months before burn time. Than I cover the top of the stack with a tarp. I tie bricks onto the tarp and let them hang.  It keeps the tarp in place pretty good. I move it up to the house by the wagon load as needed.

Hey Cfarm! I have about 3 acres of woods & 2 acres of grass & home. I do have a few trees down from Hurricane Sandy still. I'll prob get to those this fall when the weather cools a bit. But I typically have my logger bring a load of fresh cut trees & use the grapple to boom them of in a pile. I get about 4 full cords when split, all hard wood. Some waste, but not much. I pay $150 a truck load. I lug it up & split it w my employees when we have a slow day. I'll post pics of my small operation, lol
