Stacked Some Pine - 10/10/16

I stacked some of that Pine I've been splitting, my stacks are two face cords or .62 of a cord.

We still have about two face cord or more left to stack.

 

Looking good Zap

 

Nice to think you can burn that next year if needed.

 

Thanks My IS heats my home , that pine is easy on the back.

Yes it is papadave , we'll burn that and then some.

 

Now that I see a thread mentioning pine, this reminds me of an experiment I want to do
with pine and using the cat on my stove this fall. I've never run straight pine in the IS and I'd like
to give it a try during shoulder season just to see how it burns

 

We usually season our pine for a full year before burning, we've never had a problem with pine. Maybe someone with a cat in their stove can chime in.

 

It sure was Well Seasoned , I battled my sinuses until 2 when I called it a day.

 

The big A.

 

Looking good. Got a boiler full of it right now in fact. Wife said it's time for heat, so it's time for heat! She is seven months pregnant, and I am too smart to argue.

We'll fire the boiler at night when it dips down too low and we don't recover during the day. Hopefully we're still a good month away from 24/7 burns.

 

Nice work there man.

That Pine sure looks nicer than that pile I found on my property "somebody" dropped off not very long ago. @Backwoods Savage , does he always keep the best stuff for himself?

 

Did Mrs. Backwoods Savage finally get rid of that punky pine I sent Backwoods Savage .

 

Pine is Fine. Looking good.

 

Lot of shoulder burning the past 2 years
Pine is good !!!

 

I usually always burn a mix of Pine with my hardwood. Maybe 30% to 70% hardwood. This year will be less though. I ended up processing more Ash this year from the property. But, this year I did not make time to cut all my wood, so I bought some. And of course that is all hardwood.

 

I'll be burning some pine in the stove this year. All I ever heard was "you can't burn pine in a wood stove". Since joining the club and listening to all the knowledge and wisdom here, I've realized that the folks always preaching don't burn pine were cutting Oak in April and leaving it as logs half the summer, splitting it in the fall and burning it in the winter. At least I knew how to season wood properly after close to forty years of burning. So if they treated pine the same way with not even 6 months of drying, I guess that's why they couldn't burn pine, or much else for that matter.
