Nice stacks, billb! And you don't need to wait 3 years to be getting heat either...
So...burning wood is primitive, but going to war to protect interests in oil is civilized?
In my opinion the only negative with pine is that it rots quickly if it is not bucked and split very soon after falling. When I am scrounging in...
