my new Firewood toys

If I had to process 20 cord per year, I would be definitely looking at better equipment. Fortunately I only need 3-4 cord per year.

Nice equipment.

The wood on the conveyor is held in place by approx. 10 u-shaped clips on each side that attach with 2 screws each. The hopper I made from a large aluminum composite sign I had laying around since the 70's. I made the brow because it wasn't quite reaching the front of the trailer as the wood fell in. "whatever you do, or dream you can, BEGIN IT!!! Boldness has genius, power and magic." I read that this morning, rather inspiring I thought. Other than paint and a two hundred dollar motor for the conveyor, I did the upgrades with stuff I just had lying around.

Wow ! 20 cord a year, you might want to invest in some insulation. My house is 3200 square feet and my shop 2100 and my garage detached is 800 all heated by wood, some forced air propane in my house and I burn 6-10 cord a year, how do you burn 20 cord of hard wood.

Would you mind me asking what that processor costs? If you don't want to give the price in public, just PM me.... also would like to know where you bought it.

well, when I just heat the living area of my home I burn between 8-12 cord. When I heat the attached green house, 3 stall tie-up, mechanics garage and woodworking room and library it's again another 10-12 cord. The processor cost me $15000 with the couple small upgrades I had tacked on. plus $600 to have it shipped here.

Where's the automatic wood stacker. (I figure if I ask enough, someone will invent one)

If there is such a thing, post it. I need one as well lol
