Three Rows and a Cold Smoke

I set into winter with a plan for firewood. Over the spring and summer, I created three rows of split rounds outside and two stacks inside my garage. Each row and each stack theoretically supplies me with a month of fires, covering November, December, January, February, and March.

So far, thanks to mostly mild weather, the wood supply is winning against my burning schedule. I’ve burned through the entire November stack but still have a fair bit of December and all of January left to feed into the woodstove.

Not bad. I think we can call that a win.

Stay warm out there, my fellow wood gatherers.

I’ve posted a photograph of my outside wood rack. Please note, as a size reference, the Cold Smoke Beer at the center of the photograph.
