    A phenomenon known as sublimation is your best friend in winter. That is where a material goes from solid form to gaseous form bypassing the liquid form. Radiant energy from the sun heats your firewood and causes water vapor to escape because water is under pressure inside the wood. If you have ventilation, i.e. airflow underneath and through the sides, that vapor can escape before it condisates and/or freezes. A little rain or snow won't work it's way into the firewood because the atmospheric pressure isn't strong enough to force water into the wood. Wood is a one-way valve, as it dries the cells collapse and doesn't let water back in unless it's submerged in water.

    I have a concept for a shed in my head, having delt with the wetness for decades.
    Making bays with pallets to help air flow in to the core of the pile. Using tarps as if there sun shades with 1x2s on the bottom and ropes, so they can be rolled up for the 4 months of dry weather, and down for the other 8 months or so.
    A breathing wall with off set boards to allow air but stop rain is another concept i have.
    .
    Another idea of many is, i want to test is a moisture barrier under the pallets on the ground. And a vapor barrier under the roofing.
    .
    Just ideas running around in my head.

    Totally agree- when wood is fresh cut it loses a LOT of moisture quick at freezing temperatures. Just like your soda cans exploding in the freezer, the water inside the wood freezes, expands and gets pushed out of the ends 👍🏻👍🏻 then when it warms up, the ice evaporates and voila

    Yes, I saw a fellow covering the top, and I followed his example. I stack crossways every layer on single pallets, plastic tarp hangs over about 6 inches, and I bunch up the corners and dangle a piece of firewood from the corner with string. I have one small shed with a rick in it for the brutal midwinter freeze and I carry wood inside two or three days ahead of burning. Time to tune up the machines! Spark plugs , I have noticed, do not last much more than a year. They always need air filter service, I just found out Casey's has non-ethanol premium, which is the new juice for my chain saws and splitter, all small engine stuff. I also treat fuel with Sea Foam and Stabil as soon as I get it home, before I put it away in the shed. I had a problem with the splitter not having enough power to overcome the load of the hydraulic pump when below freezing, and the new premium non-ethanol has solved that for me. Everything in my yard is always covered with a tarp or in a shed when not in use. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a better New Year! God Bless one and all!

    Merry Christmas. Another problem with covering very dense hardwood too early in the drying period is the wood exudes fine white powder as a result of lack of air flow for the final moisture to escape. I think this condition is almost as bad as mold.

    I typically cover the wood on racks most of the year. I use roofing underlayment and just cover the top. Once the winter hits I leave it uncovered because I am pulling from it. Typically burn 2-3cords a year in a wood stove in NY. Been burning 20years.

    At my old place My Wood stacks were 32' long 60 +/- " high and 48 " wide. 2 rows of 24" Wood.
    I had BillBoard Tarp cut to 50" wide by 36' long. I had one end anchored at the T-Post and the free end was sandwiched between 2 2x4's and I'd just roll it up as I took wood off the stack. Turning it under so crap falls off as I'd roll it.

    Awhile back I discovered Menards was now selling 3' wide tarps for covering stacked rows of firewood which is perfect for single row stacks.
    Also I never got around to commenting on one of your recent videos where you said you'd had 1 1/2" of rain and couple days later your wood was dry and no worries. I think that is due to the fact your wood is not stacked allowing lots of air flow. I normally stack mine and if I don't get it covered by late fall and we get rain it doesn't dry back out enough to not be a pain in the ass to burn in my wood stove, which happened this year. Fortunately I have several years of "stash" wood stored in my old crib that I am tapping into...

    Looking forward to seeing the tarps and how you find it goes. I covered the top when we had snow forecast. It was windy and the tarp was fluttering like a tight sail but I still found the top splits got surface molds on them. They were birch and cherry so not sure if that's unique to those species. The ash beech and sycamore don't seem affected at all.
    Meant to add, wet windy Scotland.

    • @InTheWoodyard
      @InTheWoodyard  11 годин тому +1

    Sorry to hear about the Honda / Ultra. Maybe a night in the heated garage will help. Hydraulic pump pulls pretty hard when oil is cold. I just don’t have enough wide open spaces without shade to pile/stack firewood for long term storage. I’ve tried tarps-kind of works. Leaf blower for the snow & leaves works better. Only after the wood is dry/seasoned outside will it go under the roof of the woodshed I recently built. Christmas blessings. GNI

I have a 20x40 shed that would probably hold 5-6 times the wood I have now but I would probably need to dry it out the real wet wood before putting in there, you think? Happy Holidays.

    • @InTheWoodyard
      @InTheWoodyard  11 годин тому

      That is a great idea! By packing wood in tight to a confined space (shed with floor top and sides) it would take much longer to dry and maybe mold IF it is wet wood and bigger splits especially....maybe 2-3 times as long...BUT if you can wait that long because you have years worth of wood stocked up...then it might be fine. Putting dry wood in thee would be great...but then you are handling and moving it much more too????

    If you just drop the bottom bowl of the carby to get the water out- pull the spark plug and then pull it over a heap of times to remove any water then replace the spark plug and it should fire up- basically the same engine, I found it gets in through the air filter housing in the past if the rubber seal is slightly worn.

    Hi Chris, I noticed that a lot of your bins have some blowouts. Could this because the wire going across is too weak? Have you considered using 1/8 aircraft cable with crimped loops and small shakles. You can made these in standard lengts (based on the common widths of say 3 pallets = 12 feet) and they would be reusable. You can still use the cheaper wire to hold the pallets together, just not to run across the width. Just a thought. Merry X mas.

    • @InTheWoodyard

    Anyone want an easy way to clean the glass fireplace doors. Originally it was use a crumpled newspaper and spray the doors and newspaper then dip the newspaper in ashes cooled down if course and use a circular motion to clean. I just use a paper towel that works if you don't let the glass get too dirty. It works better than anything else I've tried and cleans easily 👍
