Twin Holz Hausens

Holz Hausen Wood Pile Results

The past couple months I’ve been building my second holz hausen wood pile.  I built this one 10′ in diameter.  Actually, the holz hausen wood pile ended up about 11′ in diameter.

The blurry wood to the right is my first holz hausen wood pile. The pile in the distance is my second wood pile.

I made a tunnel between the two holz hausen wood piles.  First, I placed two pieces of chainsaw milled lumber across the two piles.  I made sure they were level and stable and over my head.

I covered the planks with the bark covered waste from chainsaw milling.

The tunnel adds style to my holz hausen wood piles.

I thought I was building my holz hausen wood piles for firewood to burn this year.  After seeing the results I’ll be keeping the two piles up as long as I can before I burn them.

They’re too pretty to burn.
