sorry if this is already posted somewhere...but i was wondering what everyone does with these? i find them hard to split as well as hard to cut. Can anyone share what they do with them?
Welcome to the forums Kyle!!! I use pieces like that to hold my tarp down on the wood stacks. A year on top of the tarp, a year in the pile and then right into the stove.... If it's too big and you can't split it, there's always the option to noodle it..
Welcome aboard, Kyle Miller . My wife took a good sized one I cut, and painted it to look like a slice of watermelon. Or, let it dry and burn it.
Are we talking about the wedge you cut out when felling a tree? I always just leave it in the woods next to the stump.
Welcome to the forum Kyle Miller I usually leave the wedges in the woods but we don't have large trees so most of ours are small. But when my wife is helping, the wedges do get picked up. Usually we throw them on top of the stacks to hold down the top covering. If they are too big to fit the stove than usually one whack with an axe fixes that. I've never seen one that would not split and split easy.
I cut them up small enough to fit in the stove and place them in the ugly pile. I then burn them first at the beginning of winter. I had at least a weeks worth last year.
Ladies/Gentleman...please... These 'bits' are but the first to give up the ghost....the rendering of life as we know it relative to this particular diety..can I espouse a bit of specific respect to this scenario....if you please...!!?? #all about the love...
I keep them and use them during the day if we're home. My wife is home more during the day so she burns them up. Can't fit too much in the stove but that's ok. They don't stack well so I put them in big bins like the ones in this pic.
Into the ugly pile! They burn just fine, they just don't really stack, and you can't fit much in the stove when you throw them in, but they work for for early season burning.
They go on top of my stacks and on top of the heap in the shed. Burn them on days at home on the weekend with other assorted uglies.
Depending, maybe a quick hit on the bandsaw, and into the roofed ugly-bin for shoulder-season. Toss 'em in up top, pull 'em out below- works like a queue. Does make it simple.
