i forgot mine and my log blaster today at my score. Luckily i was a mile from home. Splitting wood last night and forgot to put them back on the truck.
i myself am tiring of cookies, shorts and chunks mrfancyplants from all my roadside cutting. So much so i gave away the ones from yesterday and today. I was chatting with the cop directing traffic for Asplundh yesterday. Turns out i sold him some wood last March and didnt recognize him. He lived literally a tenth of a mile from where we were. I played "wood fairy" and left the nuggets in his driveway. He had bought "shorties" from me...12-14" splits. Probably the nicest chat ive ever had with a cop!
Nice, i’d say that is putting the chunks to good use. I’ve got a couple pretty good sized piles of cutoffs and mis-splits going, and i’m wondering how to clean up and organize. I’m thinking sort into small enough to be burnable and throw the larger chunks in a trash can with a lid. Give the larger chunks some time to dry out, if I don’t throw them in the pit first..
Well said; I’ll keep an eye out for a free one. Here is the week’s hoard of white oak, with a little pine in back on top of a pile of about a third of the off-cuts. And a couple cherry uglies to the left.
I forget ,y'all up north loose them to rust. Down here I'd be looking at something like that as a daily driver!! My daily driver is my wife's old 01 Highlander. It has 227,000 miles on it. Interior and exterior look good. We bought it in 08 for her. She now drives an 04 Sequoia.
Some people do what midwinter does with those IBC totes or whatever they call them , the like 300 gallon tanks in a cage on a pallet. Throw all the randoms into it
Looks like an uphill battle but your getting it done. Nice work mrfancyplants My current nugget bin mostly finished filling today. Only from three weeks of hoarding. Some ash from today topped it off. Face cord evenly stacked but i may mound more on top. Mostly red and sugar maple. The tiny pile lower right are small chunks ill sve for the fire pit next year. Fill up milk crates with them. I need a few more bins down in my main processing area. Lots of oak nuggets.
Too lazy to hitch the trailer to bring last bit of wood to camper for the season...in hindsight it would have been quicker
Daughter made me proud today. Her first car hoard. We found these up the road from a KD firewood processing plant. NO WOOD LEFT BEHIND
We sometimes think that they're not paying attention or care, but then they surprise us. That's was a sweet gesture
Great find! I would return them and bring a trailer full of green splits and let them dry it as a thank you! Just an idea! I would make it a daily trip to check for lost and found wood. Maybe put a speed bump or pothole in the road to help your cause.
Mainly, I needed a new chopping block. I keep breaking mine. Other than that, a few pine splits and like two red oak splits. Since a lot of my stash is oak now, I may focus on quicker drying shoulder season wood.
Well Buckin' Billy Ray splits pines almost exclusively since that's mostly what he has available to him in Vancouver. If it's good enough for Buckin, then....
