newbies stack firewood

James found a metal firewood stand on Amazon. With free delivery. We thought it looked perfect for the half cord of wood we knew would be waiting for us at Shadybrook. We arrived on Friday evening to a large pile of cut pine in the middle of our camp site. Time to stack. James put the stand together and we found the flattest area to set it up.

This is half a cord of pine

It took us about an hour to stack the wood on the holder and between the two trees. Mighty fine work we thought. Now we are set to burn wood all season.

We were trying to beat the rain so we stacked quickly Fri. night

Sad faces prevailed this morning when we saw the metal rack tipped over and all the wood on the ground. The rain all night and this morning likely played a factor.

Sat. morning the stand fell over

Plan B...we put the metal rack against the wood pile and didn't stack it as high. Fingers crossed that this works. We'll know next weekend when we go back out.

Hopefully Plan B works.
