    I think I'm going to get out there tomorrow and try to get some logs cut up just in case I need them before the season is over. I have a 350-400 lb maple log that would heat for about 7-10 days in milder weather. Not saying it's perfect but fire is better than furnace. I figure I can cut it into smaller cookies and then noodle those for some fast seasoning.

    It's been on the ground for a few months. Cut back in September. Waiting for me to do it.

    I have about 50% of these logs left to cut up. Enough for maybe 2 weeks of heat in March when it's warmer and I'm not keeping the stove full.

    WOW
    Some size to a few of those.
    Good picture

    Couple should split OK couple may make the huskee groan just a bit

    Starts to season lots faster after it's split & off the ground ;)

    With the conditions I have out there, no Huskee for me tomorrow. It'll be a day with the 441 noodling the logs to pieces I can burn. There's a good foot of perma-snow out there these days.
