I hit a low point in my wood supply early this winter, but recently have scrounged a couple of years worth of ash. I am burning four year old oak...
I am cutting dead and dying Ash too. The EAB has been here for a few years, but I have noticed the trees dying in large numbers only this year. I...
Wood burning is like a lot of other activities - a few problem people give a bad name to the whole group. Nobody is complaining about my wood...
Piles of logs never look as large in the picture as they do in real life.
I'd get all you can as fast as you can. I have a similar deal with a lady down the road who offered me all the dead trees on her lot, which would...
I think I have burned only about 1.5 cords so far, maybe not even that much. I think I have burned less this year than the halfway point in...
Black Cherry. good stuff.
There are lots of Tulips that look just like that one around here.
The Mountain Ash that grows in north America is a smallish tree with very obvious orange berries that stay on the tree into winter. It is fairly...
Welcome! Where is Patriot Country?

A cord is 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft stacked, split wood. You have about 4 x 4 x 8 ft but it isn't stacked and split. I'd guess it will compress by about...
Have you looked into a trailer and hitch for the focus? A small trailer and hitch are a lot less expensive than a new truck.
I think the front tree is a Red Maple. The smaller tree in the background is an oak, but not Black Oak. I'd say it looks like Scarlet Oak, or...
You can burn any type of wood in a wood stove. All woods should be split and dried or 'seasoned.' Most woods require at least a year of seasoning...
Burning wood produces water. The hydrogen in the wood combines with oxygen in the air to produce water, which goes out the chimney along with some...
I think the first tree is Chestnut Oak. Thick bark, whitish sapwood, heartwood that is, well, oaky in color. I can't see the end well enough to...
