    Went apple picking with the family today. I brought my chainsaw and PPE just in case. There was a nice cherry blow down right by the orchard

    I got half the tree. The bottom half is covered in overgrowth. I will get the rest this winter.

    Sweet! Lots of black locust there too, huh? I see a lot of suckers coming up around those trunks.

    You might be a firewood hoarder if you go to the orchard and you aren't after picking fruit.

    Awesome take.
    The chainsaw might fix the under brush problem!

    You use it for smoking or heating?

    Yeah there’s a tonne. I just cut what falls. Not a big fan of dropping trees unless it’s easy.
    I have about two face cords of locust for winter of 2023.

    Heating and cooking outdoors. I have more than I can use so will probably sell a few face cords. Have 8 IBC totes…soon 14. I personally consume a full cord over winter as it’s our secondary place. My plan is to sell enough to pay for my firewood toys…I mean tools.
