    Worked on stacking some of the black locust, Osage orange and red oak that I’ve scrounged this spring. Still have an equal amount of black locust to add to the pile. Ran out of time to finish it all today. [​IMG]

    This will be my pile for when temps get real cold in the dead of winter.

    Sounds like a hot combination there, Mike! "I call this stack Rocket Fuel."

    How long will the hedge take to be prime?

    Hahahahaha! That’s good! To be honest I’m not totally sure. I’ve never burned it before. My plan is to let the hedge and red oak sit covered for 3 years. The locust is has been dead so I’ll burn that first.

    It’s like fine wine... longer it sets the better... 12 months is possible... but 2-3 years is much better...
