Some nice wood waiting for the splitters. With all thats happening is the splitting party still happening Greg ?
I don’t think so. I decided to just refill the lean to with dead ash, start burning 10/1 and burn the ash until holidays, then have the splitting party to refill with all oak so I can have full oak lean to by 1/1/21 At least that’s my new plan. Lean to at 60% now
if memory serves me correct, werent you pulling dead ash from woods nearby and a vast amount there???
Yes, have racked everything direct to lean to from 4 wheeler cart. I have put in about 40 cart loads so far. Maybe need 40 or so more to fill it
And I am still burning and plan to u til end of month, as I will have plenty of scraps and some gamey ash along the way
A lot of it can almost go from stump to stove!. More or less the same around here with the ash. Some i cut yesterday had the bark stay on when i split it this morning.
Top notch outfit you have there Greg! I always enjoy seeing what you have to post. Seems everything you do has a reason behind it
True. A lot of the dead ash is pretty much ready right away after being cut. Given a summer after split and stacked, and it's typically good to go even in an EPA stove. Greg If you typically split a few months before burning in the owb, that dead ash will probably be the best wood you've burnt.
That same poem says that elm won't make you warm, or something to that effect. I'd take dry elm over wet ash any day, if I needed to burn it that season.
Looking good Greg ! I look forward to your pics of your annual huge pile of logs and rounds. Take care, and work safe!
Since about March 1st I have been cutting and throwing it in the same week, mostly of a size that doesn’t need split. There is just so much of it I have moved to that plan, does fine in OWB. And I’ll finish filling the lean to with it. That pile of wood is nearly all pin oak, and all pretty green and cut over the last year. It won’t hurt one bit to have it sit in that pile a year or two. So will keep building the pile with oak, some locust and the shed with ash
