Off to a pretty slow start here in PA. We've not done any round-the-clock burning yet. We've gone through maybe a quarter of a cord total, with...
First overnight burn last night. Low of about 27F... house was at 69F when I got up. Still working through some shoulder season poplar, and the...
That listing from Old Nate is funny. The listing actually states that their oak wood is "not seasoned" and that seasoned oak is characterized by...
64F in the house this morning. Mid 30s outside when I got up... there was some roof frost in evidence. Don't know if wife had a fire after I...
Fire has begun. Just burning chunks (various species) at about 1/3 box capacity for the stove. Just enough to take the chill off. Overnights...
Two responses to this post. (1) That's a nice pile of logs. Must be nice to have connections to a logging company. (2) buZZsaw BRAD has a...
Likewise. I keep checking the long range temp forecasts, and I keep thinking that we can make it till mid to end October before lighting up....
Just finished up the 14th cord in the back yard... that makes it a 3.5 year plan for us. The oldest wood is oak from 2020, so I'm looking forward...
Hmmm... Dunno about that... I'd have to get to 16 cord first for the 4-year plan, and I don't know where I'd be "allowed" to put 4 more cord, if...
I would've gobbled up those big rounds, too. I did some poplar this Spring that looked to be about that size. Got something like 1.5 cord out of...
Looks like from Smackover, AR. Sounds like a fun place to me. :D
I had the saw picture on my work desktop for a long time. Very nice!
Yes... definitely the 3-Year Plan. We burn between 3.5 and 4 cords a year, so I like to have 12 cords on hand at the beginning of the heating...
I've got two cords worth of rounds awaiting splitting at home. When those are done, I'll have 13 cord CSSed. Since we go through between 3 and 4...
So, I guess we should've known better! :headbang: We put all of our stove stuff away last week when temps were in the 70s and 80s. Yep, we were...
During the winter, I had some pain in my left shoulder that limited my range of motion. I found that doing some splitting with my X27 actually...
We're done... I think... :whistle: Wife cleaned out the stove and put the stove tools in storage. I took the wood rack in the garage to the...
Exactly the same as WeldrDave . Three cords of splits and 1/2 cord of uglies. And rarely cold enough here to go 24/7. Although, we did use our...
I have an X27, sledge and wedge, and a hydro splitter, as well as a pile of wood in the driveway. I actually quite like hand splitting, and I've...
Just the cold wind here. Dusting of snow that was melted by like 9:00 AM or so. This storm, like all the other ones this year, went north of us...
