I think there will be close to 4 cord in the biggest tree. We took down several others in the 24”-30” range also. I am guessing 8-10 cord total. I...
Looks like Frosty helps you more than he helped me! Frosty, the Lazy Jerk
Starting to make some noticeable headway on some big ash trees at my parents house I posted on a couple times this winter. You may remember this...
Yep, soft maple. I like it but others think it burns up too quickly. I like to use it when my fires don’t time out right and I need just a filler...
I burn a bunch of hackberry. It is pretty good wood. I think it’s better than cherry, not as good as ash but close. It dries fairly quickly, kind...
Back injuries are no joke. People use their back in everything they do, from walking to just lifting a cup of coffee off a table. I hope you...
This isn't the typical type of tree question for this site. I am planting 3 trees this spring in my back yard. One for each of my children. I...
I agree with honey locust.
I love beech. I wish there was more of it around here.

I'm not sure about the ash you have in Maine, but those aren't the characteristics of ash here. Hard, somewhat rot resistant(it's not locust),...
I don't notice ash making any more ash than other wood. I doesn't make as much ash as walnut or hickory, that's for sure.
Huh, it didn't float away. That's good.
A moisture meter is a good investment when getting started. Make sure you are using correctly though. Test the wood on a fresh split face that...
Ash is excellent firewood. I especially like the dead ash that the bark falls off of. It splits easy, dries quickly, burns very well, and is clean...
I just let my fires burn out and start another one when needed. I use more kindling but I don't mind.
At my firehouse we drink Black Rifle. It is pretty good. We only drink about one pot of it a day, then we switch to Foldgers because the City...
I love beech.
That looks like a few ton of fun right there.
We keep our downstairs heat pump thermostat set at 70* during the week. It will run early in the morning when I'm getting out of bed. It makes it...
