Splitting some more oak shingles and fill for the holzhausen plus a new tree service dump!! #firewood #treeservice #sidehustle #art #holzhausen #diy #wolferidge
Thanks so much for watching Jeremiah! I need to get a lid on this thing but it’s been so hot I can’t bring myself to go up and down the ladder and other 300 times 😂
@@wirthwhileproperty the shingles definitely allow the stack to shed water as they will be sloped just like a roof would be and peaked in the middle. Using the trees natural water shed (the bark) really allows the wood beneath it to stay dry but it’s definitely not mandatory. Rain would just pour into the stack probably a foot or two and then dry out on the next hot day or two. It’s an aesthetic that serves a good purpose, but probably far from mandatory. Even if I wasn’t going to use bark shingles I’d place my splits in a a manner that allowed them to shed the water from the peak instead of just throwing them up there into a pile. Stick around and I’m planing to do a holzhausen build video that talks about lot about this and the traditions! Thanks for watching
HH is a real PITA. If you need to heat with wood 100% the HolH is too fussy to mask, difficult to take for burning. We tried. The 'normal' stacks are more effective IF using wood for primary heat. And the splits inside this round pile stay wet. Yes, it is cute and pretty. JMNSHO
@@annaaron3510 the holzhausen is the perfect way to stack a lot of wood when you don’t have a lot of space. My woodyard is full of cord rows and space is running thin. No other way for me to store 8 cord of wood in a 12ft circle. As far as the heating goes. This wood won’t be touched for 2 years. I’ll definitely give an update with a moisture meter then if you’re still around! But yeah if I were using this solely as heat wood I wouldn’t prefer to come outside and climb the ladder for my next burn 🤣 Thanks for watching!
@@FoothillsFirewood The HH is never used in Germany or Norway. It is a cute way to save space for those using wood for fun, not heat. Who wants to get firewood by climbing a ladder in winter ?
Such a modern and powerful machine, splitting the wood very excellently
Build another on the opposite side of the driveway! Like turrets defending the house! She would love that! 😂
@@TheGrumpyHogheadBBQ 🤣🤣 “they’re called driveway columns babe”
Man that thing is tall!👍👍

Been doing the holzhauzen the last 2 seasons. Do the "shingles" really make that much of a difference in drying?
