Truth? I'm lazy. I hate handling the wood more'n I have to. My plan is to load dozens of these crates as I cut and put them on flat racks in the shed. I set one or two right next to the burner and empty them. Once they're empty, I change them for a new one (every 4-7 days, depending on temp and wood cut).
