Firewood prosessor

[kiotiken]

That's really awsome. I started collecting parts to build my own then I pulled the trigger and went and bought one. Now I'm trying to figure out a method to handle the firewood efficiently. Been thinking of using 1/4 cord metal baskets (49 cu. ft) to process into that have like pallet bottoms to it that can be moved around using a forklift. Maybe big enough so that they will still be stack-able. They even have rotating forks now Rotators Wholesaler & Wholesale Supplier From Usa - Bolzoni Auramo Incorporated so that you can use the attachment to move the basket with but also use it to DUMP baskets. That with a heavy conveyor and big hopper might really make a firewood operation very efficient which is something NO ONE has EVER accused a firewood operation of being. I found these on craigslist 275 Gallon Plastic Water and Waste Oil Tanks that are 51.48 cubic ft. each and can be had for $100 or less each. As the tanks aren't much good to me maybe I can get the ones with damaged tanks for much less. Any ideas?

I've been trying to figure out the best way pile wood on a pallet and have it stackable. I just ordered, and received the very next day, these firewood bags that are going to be awesome. I'm in the process of building a frame similar to the one shown and will start piling this weekend. Each bag was only $3.50, they're bunched in groups of 200, but he let me buy only what I needed. He also has other products that may be better for your needs. His name is Maurice Wilson and he's great to deal with. You can get his contact info from the site.

I use the same bags for the wood, here in Norway you get them in 2 sizes 1000L and 1500L. also smaller bags in sizes 40L, 60L and 80L. These are standard size for all fuel wood sold in my country. 60L is the most popular of the small bags. I have also seen IBC cages have been used by people who only produce for their own use

How do they work for you? I'm building my frame tomorrow and I'll start trying it on the weekend.

I saw 8 of those just arrive at the scrap yard the other week, still kicking myself for not grabbing them.. They are rather light weight and structural, couldn't weigh more than 20 lbs a piece.. 20x35 pennies.. /sigh..

I hope to see this to completion. Stay strong and keep chuggin along for those of us who can only gather up parts and dream.

I am pleased with the bags just make sure and throw a few pieces of firewood in the corners and edges, otherwise you will have a bag where you can be sure that either fall over or come loose at the bottom with the consequence that you have firewood everywhere. Tighten the cord in the bottom about an arm's length and you should be ready to go.
Also make sure you pause once in a while and make sure you get the wood evenly around the bag. The beauty is that you can stack the bags, I've seen stacks up to 6 levels in a large shed with three walls where cladding set 2 inches apart.
