    Another question. If I were to cut that piece of plywood wider than recommended in order to secure it to the sides in addition to the bottom would that make the whole thing stronger or would it mess something up that I’m not thinking of.

    What kind of saw did you use to cut the pieces of wood.

      That is a Husqvarna 445

      @@CountryLivingExperience Oh, I am sorry I meant the saw you use to cut up the pieces to make the jig. This is all new to me. I just replaced a wood stove, and the new one is a lot smaller. The manual says to use 15 inch wood, and I am trying to get 18 inches into it, and it is not burning as hot as it should. Some pieces goes up from 18 inches and all the way up to 23 inches.

      @@EliseGeiman Just a normal shop circular saw. It is a battery operated DeWalt brand with a 7.5" blade. Try burning different types of wood. Hardwoods are the best. Oak is tops.

    So is the 30” piece of plywood only attached at the bottom? You left out that detail. It looks from the finished project that it’s only attached at the bottom. Seems that piece would be very flimsy

      Correct. It does not need to be strong. It is just an end guide to keep the firewood flat so that it is all cut evenly.

    Go to chipdrop.com. It is a free website not only can you get wood chips from the arborists but they can deliver logs as well. Simply get the logs then hire somebody to come and cut the logs up for you if you don't have a big enough chainsaw the cut them yourself and split them with a wood splitter. Some of these logs can be humongous. I've gotten some this spring that I still haven't gotten cut up or split. That's fine so far we have gotten over to Rick's of wood and still have probably another Rick and a half to go or more. Good for free firewood huh it helps you and helps the tree arborists that are looking for a place to dump their logs or wood chips. The wood chips are great for paths flower beds or even in your vegetable garden as a mulch. Shoot you can probably even use some of those wood chips in your fireplace.

      It has never worked for me. I have been on their list for 3 years and not one tiny chip.

      @@CountryLivingExperience well you can always try looking up Tree arborists in your area and calling them and have them put you on a list as well. It won't hurt. The Chip Shop website does say it could take a very long time sorry to hear you've not had that good of luck. Coaches but surely there are Tree arborists in your area that are still looking to dump wood chips or free logs.

      I have tried that too. No luck. I even had one of the companies that I signed up with doing work 1/2 mile from my property......they never brought me the load the I visually saw in the back of their truck. It is different here for some reason.
