Pretty good. Hits all the points. Very informative for a sales brochure. His customers can become knowledgeable of the basics of heating with firewood after this thorough write up. I like it.
Somebody gave me 40 cords of log length pine 5 minutes from my house, i was going to print that article and start giving it to people that buy hardwood from me. I sell truckloads so i get alot of people that cant afford a whole cord of hardwood. Maybe i can help people with tight budgets Stretch out the hardwood or burn pine shoulder season. Next season ill have alot and i doubt i sell all that as campfire wood in 2020.
That’s not a bad idea. Might want to contact the owner of that business and ask permission. I’d guess there wouldn’t be any issue with you “borrowing” the write up. It’s really quite good.
I wish you the best of success Woodwhore! You could start something wonderful in your area that takes off like dry firewood!
If you have the room for it, why not? Quick seasoning, and you can burn it during shoulder season, freeing up space for more of WeldrDave's wood in a few months.
It all boils down to how bored I am on any given day. The downside is the pitch. At some point, the log truck will come and take it all away.
Yeah. Pitch is a biotch. I've read that the pitch becomes less of a concern over time. If you can do some minimal cutting and splitting just to get it to your side of the street, then you can let it sit bit, and reduce the pitch concern.
That's been my plan. Get the rounds split in half, and let them sit until summer. Also, it is less gooey and easier to split when the temps are in the 20's. Haven't seen much of that lately. So maybe it will be a January project, if it's still there.
That 40 cords of logs iv been cutting on has been sitting for about 2 years. Iv cut about 10 or so truckloads and have yet to get sap on me in any quantity worth mentioning ( cutting,splitting or stacking) now if it were fresh that would be a different story so what MikeInMa said is so true
The article has alot of good information and we agree with the bulk of it, However, I'm not sure about the part where he says "Remember, when wood gets over 5-6 years old, it does start to deteriorate, so the best wood is 1-3 years old." I can'y see why wood that is properly stored out of the weather is going to starting to deteriotate in 5 years. Especially hardwoods.
