Exactly. Well said. And I'm so glad my too dry firewood is "safe" to burn.
I tried to attach the Purdue research about lower Btu's for 10 yr verses 3yr dried wood, but this site did not like it, so I'll try a copy and...
Interestingly, the research paper indicated exactly what you observed, that it would ignight quickly, burn hot and leave a lot of ash.
Here is reviving an old thread. Saw a YouTube video where this guy says firewood loses heat value if stored too long. I googled it and low and...
I'm shocked it is that high a moisture content. Still, since it has been dead that long, should dry out fast.
Like The Wood Wolverine, I burn a lot of dead C oak that is cut in the spring, CSS and top covered in the sun and it is < 20% MC by winter.
Pretty fancy top cover there! :thumbs:
Picking up small limbs and bringing them in to burn is standard procedure for me when coming in from my property when hunting or hiking. It adds...
Well if you cut 1" off so your splits are exactly 16", no wonder your stacks are a work of art. After felling, I take a lumber crayon and tape and...
Good to see you back on here again! :handshake:
After record breaking heat for 3 days in the 90's, got rain and low 50's yesterday, had a fire in the insert last evening. Pallet mill oak boards....
It's amazing where they show up this time of year in wet ditches and small creeks, and of course crossing roads.
TH THAT is a beautiful picture! I'd wander out and admire that every day if they were my stacks. Lot of work and reward right there. :salute:
I'd say the top covering tin is not going to blow off with all those full sized cinder blocks on top. Awesome. I use rocks, broken blocks and...
Interesting about the carbide chain, I heard thay don't mind dirt and stones but don't do well with metal. I bit the bullet and bought one, but...

Which way?
Had a dead 11” Red maple break off ½ way about 15’ up, top got hung up in an oak. Tree is about 30’ from the side of my cabin to the west, tree...
36/67 Started first fire I've had in a week yesterday afternoon, will keep it going all day today as high only in 40's. Burning oak boards and...
I believe that qualifies for the "You suck award". Great score.
