Windfall

Had some pretty gusty winds a few weeks back in Southern Vermont. Ended up knocking down a couple of trees on our slice of property. I took out the MS250 and harvested a decent amount of heat.

Appears to be mostly birch. I did some splitting today and could smell it. A few rounds were punky; but sit them anyways.

I may get some heat from the smaller rounds this winter. But most likely, this will be for the next heating season. Gotta love when this stuff practically falls in your stacks.

Cant beat that. Nice work

 

wind is blowing hard here. There are trees down and fallen limbs all over the place. Some power outages reported. (32,292)
High winds knock out electricity to thousands in southern and central Maine

 

Skier...is that your place in the back? Is that an A frame with a walk out basement? Looks Awesome! I want to build one last place before I die and that is what I have started to plan...would love to see pix of that maybe on the DIY board.

 

Be safe , you will get some firewood from all that stuff that fell

 

We're on generator. We'll see for how long...8 days last year this time

 

Nice stack there. Nice when nature provides in such a convenient way.

 

I was thinking the same thing. But Maple is even better yet LOL

 

Well what ever kind of wood it is looks like you did alright.

 

I'm going to say it's Poplar

 

I am torn because our young soft maple looks real close to mature poplar.. But not seeing birch..

 

I’ll take some closer pics so we can get a better ID. Lots of yellow birch up back with some Beech mixed in here and there. Beech is disappearing fast these days unfortunately; disease.

That’s our neighbor’s place; and we are in an A Frame as well. Love that design!

Here’s a quick pic of our place which is a bit smaller than next door. I can post more in the DIY forum if you like.

Looks like maple to me. We have a lot of poplar around here.

 

Here are a few pics I took of the wood. Feel free to chime in with ID suggestions.
