    Mostly Maple with some White Birch and Red Oak thrown in. I've been pining(get it?) for some Maple for awhile since it dries quicker and is great burning.
    Now I have to empty the shed into the basement before I can start cutting. Got five tractor loads in today and around fifteen to twenty left to go. I'm off this coming week so I should get to the cutting later in the week. Get to try my new saw out.

    $1,000 CDN and I always give him a $50 tip.
    I think that's well worth it to keep the house heated to summer temps all through the winter. I like it hot inside when it's cold out. Tshirt weather.

    That surely isn’t going to be seasoned enough to burn this year...least I wouldn’t think so.

    I just had a fella drop off a big maple tree he cut down and it’s in big chunks like those logs only bigger. I have to cut them up. Not sure if I’ll split them now or later. I’m thinking they’ll split easier about 3 years from now. I won’t need them until then anyway. Trying anthracite coal this year. Lol!
    Sure is a nice load of wood though. I’m just a tad jealous. Lol!

    nice looking load there Chris F :thumbs:. How will you go about processing them? Will you cut some, then split or cut it all then split it all etc. I usually cut a tankfull of gas then split. That load is nice as you have room to work it!
    Keep us updated on your progress.:popcorn:

    Looks like a few beech logs in the mix. Really nice looking pile of warmth.

    Looks like white birch up top. One of the many species I haven't burned or split. Thought I was more of an experienced burner until I joined FHC.
    Humbled in a good way ;)

    Nice looking stack. How long are the logs? It looks more logs that I get in a supposedly 7-8 cord load for $700. The logs I get are 12 ft or better.
