That's my eventual plan. I have to find a good storage location. For this year's wood, I'm using a small grain silo that the previous owners left behind. I have no use for it as a silo right now, and it's actually perfect for curing wood. Even on 50 degree days it's hot inside, so I imagine it speeds up seasoning a bit.

Got pallets on the floor? A grain bin would be a idea drying location since they are designed to vent from the bottom to the top, if you have the vents open.

Temp dropped to 30 last night.

Temp in the house this morning was 63.

Just touched off the stove. So warm...

Got to use my stove both days over the weekend. Only had to run it intermittently every few hours to keep the downstairs around 68 and the upstairs around 66.

I really love this thing!
