FREE FIREWOOD--ELM TREES - farm & garden - by owner - sale This just came up on my Craigslist free firewood alert!
If by hand probably not. By hydraulic, why not? If you have a push through splitter, then it's even less hassle. If that was local to me, I'd be on it.
nelson is about 30-40 minutes from youngstown. I'd jump on it but I'm way too busy to even think about it. I'm going have to use my vacation this year just to process. Also I need a trailer to haul my splitter there, I'd lose a wheel trying to haul it down the highway at 55 or tick a lot of ppl off doing 40 on the highway
There's a reason Elm is free. Look it up. It is a SOB to split if you don't know the tricks. Low BTU s besides.
Cut down and cut up? Not worth it. I'm about 40 miles from there and there's plenty of free wood thats less work. Yesterday I got 3/4 cord ash that was already cut down. If I had been more ambitious today I could have gotten 2 cords of cherry that was cut into 3 ft sections.
Not much Elm in the East anymore. Castine, Maine saves its Elms with yearly injections of an anti fungus at a high cost. Most towns and cities have lost their Elm trees decades past.
There is a giant beautiful Elm in my neighborhood.It dwarfs the house it's next to.I admire it every time I see it however the question pops into my head if they ever took it down would I want the wood ? I keep going back and forth with the answer.The rounds off that tree trunk would be nearly four feet across.I'm a hand splitter and splitting that tree could be the death of me.On the other hand that would make some great burning.I kinda hope they don't take it down because it's a beautiful specimen.One of the last of it's kind around here.
Plenty to see. Get a hold of yourself. It's an order. A wise man once said: "With some folks there is no sense in confusing them with facts because their minds are already made up" Nice bike masks though.....cool.
