Good to know this and also a good way to stretch your dwindling wood supply if you have the bricks already on hand before running completely out.
Yes Warner I do that and it does help. That said, in doing that you are still raking up the coals into a pile towards front draft and that will...
[IMG] Many of you may have already figured this out, but it has taken me a while to learn this by experience. The issue of too much ash and coal...
Yeah, a half cord split and moved to another location for stacking is no small feat. Must've been something in the air Saturday because everything...
Great Photos! Did you eventually split all the rounds in the first photo? That would be easily a half cord if not a cord. Loos like Silver Maple,...
That's some variety of wood you have there Kris_S ! And yes you do have a lot of Honey locust there. Nice stacks you are starting in a big open...

I think Midwinter makes a pretty good guess with red maple Kris_S, though it could also be Sugar Maple. Either way great stuff and definitely get...
You wound up with some short splits, but that's why you got them barrels for seasoning uglies. You got all bases covered girl! Actually even...
Well you called it, and like clock work it arrived. I don't know Molly, you got a lot of wood there, It may be time to consider adding another...
Yes great comparative photo, but I can tell you didn't go to catholic school and so didn't have nuns teaching you penmanship :rofl: :lol: Now...
Noodling is a technique people use down south to catch large catfish. Here it means cutting up a difficult tree crotch which produces noodle like...
Great that you were able to get more before it got buried or swallowed up with the encroaching Pine Debris Brigade (also known as PDB). Ok I just...
Good job Stoveburner38 !! I like the use of corrective horizontal splits where necessary. If I ever make one of these I assume that if I feel it's...
