    Hauled a bit to the woodshed to get ready for the next Autumn burn season.
    Wood not the best but I guess it’s the price to be paid for living in this wet, wet climate and being several years ahead on the supply.
    I seldom pass on any firewood no matter the condition. [​IMG]

    I hope that burns okay but it doesn't look too good. It has to be tough in that wet climate though. It would seem you might find a better way to keep it drier. Please don't take this wrong as maybe I could have worded it better. I just look at that wood and wonder how well it will burn. No doubt it helps putting it in the shed but some looks to be waterlogged and that makes it not so good.

    If I were in a colder climate or short on wood, it would definately be more of an issue.
    Seldom freezes here and when it does 25 degrees is a major weather event.
    Our little stove does burn this well once dry and puts out a decent amount of heat while burning.
    The downside for sure is it burns quickly, fewer btus per piece, requiring a larger supply which all adds up to more work and may not be worth the effort where it is colder or in a house that is harder to heat.

    The wood I burned this year was probably in worse shape than this. Most folks would consider it foolish to even try using it I’m sure.

    Do you live in what is referred to as the banana belt? It does sound like you don't get all that cold and I can understand why it works for you.

    NW Oregon. Weather usually off the ocean. Occasionally get some cold out of Alaska or Canada but for the most part it circles north of us. Once in a great while we get cold air coming from the East but it usually stops before it gets to us.
    Lots of rain as we sit near the Coast range and it dumps as soon as it comes over the hills.

    Backwoods Savage I lived short period of time in the Corvallis area. I can attest it doesn’t get very cold there in the winter but man it sure does rain!
