    7EBE7F64-0F2E-4EC4-9325-AD9D7BAE7281.jpeg Full load from the quarry today, no pics because my son had my phone at home. My brother inlaw drove his new john deer tractor over and we mived some mulch and rocks. Also brought up some 3 year old covered hickory rounds. I split them and brought some inside. The meter pic was rt after split. This hickory is gonna cook my breakfast :flipeggs: 1D9C01A2-3FC5-4EEE-87E4-223EAB1BC097.jpeg D95F89C2-0964-4517-A0F1-C541E3FC6D29.jpeg

    Ya, they were stacked off of the atv trail with a top cover, stacked on top of a couple pine poles off the ground. No bugs or worms either 19% rt off the splitter

    Winner winner chicken dinner. This definitely deserves the "you suck award". Enjoy the hot fires to come from that score.

    I have a feeling that breakfast with all of us would be pretty awesome. My experience with hickory is it gets those worms real quick and the bark separates fairly quick but this stuff was the complete opposite. I had a clear plastic sheet over it ( just top covered) and like i said its been 3 years. It also was only cut 10-14 inches for the indoor bbq and it was only a 5 foot long row by a 2-3 ft high. It was off the ground on pine poles. I have alot of hickory on the property and when it sits it also seems to get like a punky veiny marbling to the grain but its usually not punky at all it just looks it. As you can see in the pics it has a clear straight looking flawless grain look. Who knows.

    My brother in laws new tractor. They live 15 seconds down the road. I made sure i got a tutorial :whistle: It actually impressed me by pushing this rock out of the way that we tried to move with atv and bars last summer. It was rt in my trail going to the back.

    It will be a good test of how many layers you need when you start, and how many you've shed when you finish!
