So... update to the original picture. I realized that the big chunks of firewood were too big for the "fast hot" fires that a masonry heater likes (especially when the new load of firewood arrived at ~30% moisture content) so am now in the process of filling up with the same wood split 4-6 ways. It looks much nicer (will post a pic when I get it filled again) but with the recent storm and requisite 20x28 tarp over the woodpile my rate of wood-bringing-in (there's probably a German word for that) has dropped back down to "pitiful" despite the nice new cart.
On a positive note, for anyone who has read R A Lafferty's "Been a Long Long Time" my woodpile now looks remarkably like "a cubic block of granite one parsec on a side", although it's blue rather than the black I imagined from the short story.
