Alright, i just came in from getting more pine at my new pine hoard. Its been 4 hours, im very pleased with that, still in the burn zone and real hot coals and still probably an hour left. 78 degrees in here and 35 outside.
You are out of control and i love it! Rain on and off here. Tempted to go SS some ash i have in back of my PU. Sore from yesterday (good sore) and dampness making hands hurt. Woke up this morning and realized this is the oldest i have ever been! Sometimes the body tells me and sometimes it doesnt. Today is one of these days it tells me!!!
Woodwhore What make/model stove are you burning all this doomed pine in? Just thought I'd add my experience with pine is to split it big. Bigger the split, longer she burns. Rather common knowledge to ya I am guessing but worth mentioning. Split on!
Its a summers heat and its over 3 cubic foot fire box, auto dampner control. I love it and i do split pine large and a little smaller also. Thank you
Looks like all the pine burners and cutters are coming out of the closet. Here goes: Hi, my name is metalcuttr and I have also burned pine! Used to be that, after every eastern WA mule deer hunt in the fall, I would fill the trailer with pine left over from fueling the wall tent stove and bring it home. That pine would always fuel our "first fire" for the burning season. Always enjoyed the pine fires and have never had a chimney fire! If it was readily available and free, I would burn it all the time. Woodwhore it looks like you have the best of both worlds, you can sell it or burn some of the nicer stuff yourself! Especially nice is that it appears to be seasoned already!
food (well maple syrup) for thought. Thanks for the suggestion! Im trying to convince a fellow FHC member from CT to get a mill and come take these nice pine trunks.
So when i loaded her up with pine yesterday the final burn time was 5 1/2 hours. I am very pleased with that, and thats with 16 “ pieces give or take that stove take 22” so im gonna cut a load of 22” and see what she does. Of course i know it will do better.
I love pine for burning coals down and a quick hot fire. I’m pretty bummed I didn’t get any put up for this winter.
Stackin with a fire and a lantern under the stars. This load of pine rounds i got and split in the rain on sunday just got stacked up. Fully loaded truck turned out to be 11x 5 feet and the logs are 16” to 18”
Lookin really good sir! Two face cords. Did you stab with MM? If so what was the %? Cant remember if that was dead or green?
These are the 3 year old logs from a family 1.5 miles away. They got there property logged by a 1 man crew and machinery broke down so he left like 4 grapple loads of logs at the landing by the road 3 years ago so she gave all of it to me. Iv been selling truckloads of rounds fo $40 and split truckloads for $80. It reads 20 -24 percent when split and drops under 20 % once inside for a day. It dries real quick.
Bless your heart for taking that pine! That is how to make something useful from something nobody else wants.
