    Hey guys first post here been lurking for a bit.So on my way home I notice some black locust rounds cut and stacked on the side of the road which I promptly scooped up.Tree must have come down in the road last night.Not a huge haul but about dozen nice sized rounds.Then I come home to see my buddy dropped of a nice haul of some standing dead red oak.The wood gods were smiling down on me today!

    Welcome to FHC:thumbs:
    Not too many around here that’ve passed some BTUs sitting lonely on the roadside- I’ve even picked up a pine bolt off a logging truck because it needed a resting place in my stacks
