Bunch of poplar

I paid $175 for a cord of cherry.... Precut. But I would trade that ANYTIME at $400 for 12 cords of do it yourself poplar many times over. Wood snobbery is silly and expensive.

 

5 hours and 2 more loads out today. I had some help with those big rounds.

 

That's some good heat.

 

2 cords in each load

 

Load 5 and 6 done today. 12 cords with about 2 more to go. I wanted to finish today but I was whooped. I also took a pic of it at my moms farm. Got about 2 cords split so far.

 

Load 7 out this morning. That makes 14 cords from those original piles. He has since thrown in some other wood, a mix of hardwood for free. That should be at least 2 more cords

 

Dang you are hoarded up. That’s a lotta wood in those pics. You won’t be cold for awhile

 

Bring on the splitter pics

 

I sell so this won’t be around long

 

When he gets it split and stacked, he's going to have some DRY wood

 

Boooo.

 

$$$$

 

That's ba big wood pile. Makes me want to go get more...lol...hope I will soon have time to get busy on ours.

 

Was the person wanting the poplar going to burn it inside or out? I have no problem burning it in the house, but it does "pop" quite a bit and it usually isn't a preferred wood with all our hardwood options. Was your wife running the hot chocolate 15K in Philly? My wife ran that and I was also watching the kids.

 

I dunno why folks don't like the pop sound. It burns hot, is cheaper, and provides a great atmosphere for sex. What's not to like??

 

She ran that and the half marathon

 

I ran tulip poplar all winter in my stove. Not one pop. May be the regional differences in what constitutes poplar.
