Good haul! I have to chop my own. I actually start this time of year to get a nice supply. Our wood burner is at the weekend house, so lots of starting fires from nothing or very small coals after a day on the hill.
I am on a two year plan for kindling. First pic is this years kindling, second pic is next years kindling.
Either one of those piles would be multiple years for me. My previous stove I used more as I had to usually put kindling in when I got home in the evening.
^^^ × 2 yup used to have barrels of it... new stove light a few fires October and April and need kindling BUT November to march stove never loses coal easy relites 24 plus hours later
It is a 24X32 foot pole barn. I have about 12 cords of good wood and 1.5 cord of shoulder wood. Place for the tractor and splitter and wagon in the middle. I have other pics in another thread on here someplace.
My FIL is a home builder and makes his own cabinets too...I have kiln dried kindling coming out my ears...
This friend I get this off of builds candle boxes for a lady that runs the craft show circuit. All kiln dried, he has his own kiln and saw mill as well. He does build some other stuff but the biggest majority of scrap comes from the boxes.
I use twigs and branches for kindling. I usually have a bed of coals every morning, so it's usually not a big deal to retire every new day. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
This I have never asked and not really sure it is all the same species. Some of it reminds me of poplar though. All I know is a small handful, a few splits and a quarter of a super cedar and I off to the races.
That's what I thought, its really grey so I would have inputed cottonwood but I was hoping it was something that was going to start well rather than something harder to start. Good pick either way.
