Stocking up on firewood

When my family and I have a get together, the bar-b-q pit is the center of the entertainment. Its what cooks the ribs, brisket, sausage and pork chops. When the power goes out for extended periods of time, its also what my family uses to cook on.

The wood for this pit is kept in a small wood shed behind the house. Well, I had just enough wood to cook maybe 2 or 3 more times. The last truck load lasted about 2 months, the load before that lasted about 6 – 8 months. About 15 miles from my house I have a stock of about 1.5 cords of wood. This picture is about 1/3 of my stockpile. The other cord is mostly pecan used for smoking.

So I made a trip to my stock pile and grabbed 1/2 a truck load. Well, it may not be quit a 1/2 a truck load, maybe just under half a truck load. This should last a couple of months of bar-b-q’ing.
