Seems like by the time you got a cord of them stacked up, they would get kinda smelly before they were dry enough to burn.
Brad just how cold does it get there? I don’t like cold but I like plowing snow.Having said that I have a quad with a blade, three case garden tractors, two with 4’ blowers and one with a blade. A couple three years ago I bought a backhoe just to be on the safe side. Now my beer won’t freeze anymore while plowing.
We may get an arctic blast once or twice per Winter. It gets in the single digits/teens for a few days. Winters haven't been that cold in the last few years snow wise. I kinda feel bad for guys with plows. Nothing worth plowing in Southern CT yet this year. Minimal snow storms seems like the new normal here. No complaints here.
Well I met my elm match yesterday. Ran some of it through the hydro right off the truck. My run of easy splitting elm ended. Cant believe how much it grunted on the smaller rounds.
It was roadside since last week and its been pretty cold. Teens and lower 20's at night. Thankfully they weren't too big. My MO for elm is to take smaller rounds.
Well, thank God for hydro power then, eh?! Split it and sell it as "premium built in kindlin firewood" in a year or two!
You better believe it! It will top off a half cord of elm from November. The rest will get mixed in somewhere. I have a half cord going out tomorrow with some elm mixed with sugar maple and black birch. I was kinda surprised how light the elm was. Wood was CSS 13 months ago.
