    Grabbed some garage heat at lunch time. 2.5”x8” 2’ hemlock chunks. 7E0E1D45-8A6C-44D2-A220-8D121D6B8FFF.jpeg Pretty sure the stove will take them without cutting down. Not bad for 15 min. work. I did get permission to take what I wanted.

    Great find! Would be nice to find a source for some of that for kindling around here!

    Didn’t have to look far, the dumpster is at my work place. Most all of it is concrete form work. Pretty rough on chains/ blades this stuff was on top unfortunately my coworker smashed it down with the excavator before I got to dive in.

    Wife gets all the free cutoffs we can use from her work. Makes for great kindling. 16606834967014739511220933422019.jpg

    Who you trying to kid Brad, you'd still be in there looking for more treasure. :p
    You guys are doing it wrong, you start one fire in October and burn till May. Saves on kindling.:rofl: :lol:

    Youre right!:emb: One of my favorite hobbies...beside hoarding wood.

    Years back we had had the roofing account for a local private school. I was amazed at what the maintenance shops threw away. Copper tubing, partial boxes of cedar shingles come to mind.

    8B51841C-19E8-46A2-9445-78D6CB54660E.jpeg More treasures. I would have grabbed more but there were a ton of nails sticking out of the debris. Not worth a nail in the foot on Friday afternoon.

    Nice stuff. I wouldve emptied the whole dumpster for that. What species is it?
