Introduce yourself here !

Welcome to the club. First order of business is pics of your stacks.

 

heres a pic of the firewood dept, this is residule from last year that is still in need of some splitting and stacking, hopefully I will have it done and have room for more by this weekend

 

Welcome to the club. Lots of great folks here. What are you burning in? Any pets?

 

mostly Larch (tamarack) some fir mixed in, I have an old cranky little rat terrier thats sleeping next to the stove at the moment.

* edited for grammar

 

Are you using a stove, insert, fireplace, OWB?

 

I am using an old blazeking stove

 

We have a Vigilant stove, bought from Vermont Castings several decades ago. When we moved from Connecticut to the Garden State the stove was moved along with our other chattel goods. We heat in part with wood, between 2 and 3 cords each winter, depending on the weather. Currently we have a tree service cut down dead ash trees and bring the logs up to where the log splitter lives. Himself cuts to stove length and splits, I stack and am the keeper of the flame.

 

Welcome to the club. Lots of great folks here sharing knowledge and humor.

Welcome to the FHC Judy Bellringer

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! In Connecticut we lived in Fairfield County. Now we are about as far west as you can get in New jersey, just a couple of miles from the Delaware River. Let me give you some more details of our "woodwork."

You know what they say about firewood - it heats you many times. First when you cut it, again when you split it, third time when you stack it, and finally when you get to burn it. Our firewood is stacked in multiple places, moves from outside to inside downstairs then upstairs by the stove. So there's a small rack near the stove. That's filled from the larger rack in the basement next to the door outside. Then there's a couple of cords just outside the door with a metal roof and vertical tarps to keep the wood dry. So by the time the firewood goes in the stove it's nice and dry. There's more split wood outside, tarped over the top of the stack. The wood Himself is currently splitting will probably be for the winter after next. If not even further out.

I'm going to try and upload a couple of pictures. Let's see how this works out . . .



Got it. One year I stacked firewood as a holzhaufen. Very efficient for volume, somewhat inconvenient for unloading. Looks very good.


And this is our Domino cat, who really likes to nap under the stove where it is nice and warm.

Enough for now. Bye for now.

 

Welcome Judy Bellringer , nice to meet ya!

 

Ehemmm. You forgot to put “humor” in quotes.

 

Welcome Judy Bellringer Humor comes in all shapes and sizes so you will have to adapt to all the varieties of humor just like the rest of us had to. Glad you found the forum.

 

Welcome to FHC Judy Bellringer !

 

Welcome Judy Bellringer , Nice holzhaufen, Like the stove and cat. Looks like he/she has a big smile on his face. We have a hearth cricket also but no lizard!

 

The cat is (more accurately once upon a time was) male. Ah, metalcuttr, even better than the good luck crickets on the hearth, and the lizards, we have

a dragon!​
