There's a section in this forum for political diatribes, and this isn't it. I come here to discuss firewood and related topics.
why not just more pallet wood kinda put on like siding so the water flows down dropping from one piece onto the next? I like the way you think.
No sob story here, but I'll lay it out for ya: Not going back to work for over a month due to the current state of the world. Trying to do things...
Update: started working on the roof yesterday. Scraping maple bark from my last score.
If by "Hi tech northern stove" you mean "Old leaky smoke dragon" then I guess I'll throw them in there.
Got one hell of a load of maple from a guy in town here. I've already taken about 8 cords of red oak from him, and he asked me if I wanted some...
It's funny when you walk through the woods in New England. All these tall trees and seemingly endless stone walls crisscrossing the forest. My...

I've been a lifelong musician, primarily playing the guitar for 30+ years. Over the past six months I've been teaching myself the fiddle, and I...

Not until about 5 or 6 years ago when I bought my house, and a saw for firewood and yard work was a necessity. So mid thirties? When I was in my...
I swear, every year I build my stacks I can feel the eyes of every mouse and chipmunk in my zip code, looking at me and saying "Ah, he's building...
Thank you! It was really a labor of love. My wife asked what I wanted to do for my birthday, and I said "Play in my wood pile." She thinks I'm...
Thank you! Not too far down 95 I see.
Thank you for the nice welcome! It's nice to find a group of people that share the same interest, as all my other friends don't quite understand...
Hi XXL. It's a cheap, Chinese saw off of Amazon. 20" bar that I put an decent Oregon chain on. I have a Husqvarna that I was tired of fighting...
Me too!
Nice haul. I have a cord of ash that I'm looking forward to burning next season. Love the stuff.
