After living in an appartent with no insulation and electric heat for 10 plus years the wife and I are finally in a house with a wood stove. New house has an oil boiler...Nope dont wanna pay those prices either. So here I am scrounging wood and payin myself. Very glad I found this place and I'm not the only looloo out there haulin and stakin. I am attempting to take a pic of all my hauls. I forgot one so far. Not a bad start though. I'm running an Echo Timberwolf and the inlaws old Blue Max saw as a backup/if I need another in a "pinch". Thanks for havin me!
Nice looking wood and welcome to the club! Here's a good read - Primer on Woodburning by Backwoods Savage
Welcome BuknStak Great first post! Check out the Loaded truck pics. thread. Yours would fit right in.
Hardest part for me for scrounging is finding the time. The amount of wood being tossed and given away around here is unreal.
CONNECTICUT HOARDER!!! Welcome to the FHC BuknStak Great to have you. What part of the state you call home? Great first post. Some sweet looking rounds.
buZZsaw! Montville...no I don't go to the casino Ya those rounds...luckily they guy's house had a wall at the back of the driveway that was the same height as my tail gate. Just rolled them right in.
Youre not kidding. With Isiasis last year then the tonado later that month there's wood all over the place here. Im a wood snob and look for the primo stuff.
I used to do Mohegan now and then. Never been to Foxwoods. Nice country up there. I travel 95 to RI from time to time. Lots of gypsy moth killed oak out there.
If you live in the right area they will just come dump triaxle loads off in your yard...I keep waiting for one in my area haha
Nice that you have the room. I scrounge mostly roadside. Plenty of that to be had. Sometimes from the wood lot and word of mouth.
Welcome Connecticut hoarder. Nice loads. I remember the electric heated apartments with no Insulation. Ice on the inside of the windows, gotta love it.
Welcome to the forum friend. It sounds like you've been on here a bit and now we are happy you have joined and are posting. We hope to learn from you. That must have been a struggle in the apartment all those years. Are you in the market for a good wood stove now? There are many good ones out there today. Are you selling some wood?
We have a great little contingent of CT members here and ive had the pleasure to meet several of them. Looking forward to seeing more of yours posts and maybe meet up with you someday. Hoard on and cut safe!
Yes I have been lurking for a while. Some reason I couldn't get the account making to happen finally got some help from admin for that. Ya the electric bill was insane. 5 to 700 a month or so. The current house came with an old Magee something or other wood stove. We are going to get an EPA stove this summer. When I get to the point where I'm swimming in wood and the wife starts complaining I'll probably sell a few chords a year. Zero plans to enter the firewood bizz though.
