That is a Pitch Pine. The needles are (mostly) in clusters of three, at least the few clusters that I can see clearly enough to tell how many...
I do not think it is Scots Pine. Scots Pine should have some orange-colored bark on the upper trunk. The first photo shows some orange color, but...
I didn't have time to carefully read your post, but I gather from the photo that you have replaced the water in your wood with beer. I can't...
Can you always find piles of wood like that? Around here they usually leave the slash in the forest, making it a lot harder to scrounge firewood...
Yes, that is a hemlock. There is only one Hemlock in the east, which is called Eastern Hemlock. If I recall you're in Michigan, so it is Eastern...
Yes, Chestnut could be confused with Elm. Both trees have simple (not lobed) leaves with teeth along the edges of the leaf. I am not saying an...
Here in my part of central PA we had wind, but nothing exceptional. All the trees in my yard that were standing yesterday are still standing today.
The second tree seems to have a very dark heartwood. I think it is Black Walnut, just like the first one. The bark on the second tree does look...
Around the eleven minute mark he was doing fine, and I was about to go burn some wet wood. Good thing I watched a little longer.
Those wide growth rings don't look like Black Locust to me. The second picture looks greenish and resembles Tulip Poplar. I don't know what you have.
I think it is Red Maple, but that is just my impression, not based on any specific thing about the tree. That tree looks just like the Red Maples...
I have a lot of soft maple and I think it is great firewood. It starts well, burns well, and lasts longer than you'd think. Around here I have Red...
I have two acres that are mostly wooded, and I don't have to plant trees to fill any available space - plenty of trees come up on their own....
I started the first fire this weekend. We are burning evening and nights only, but that is going to change soon. High temps in the 40s later this...
I see a truck about 6 feet wide loaded four feet high and ten feet long. 6 x 4 x 10 = 240 cubic feet. A cord is 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic feet. You...
I usually start my stove with a full load of wood in it. I put some kindling on top or along one side and use a fire starter. After I light the...
Poplar/aspen, Spruce, Sassafras (not sure about this one), and finally Honey Locust.
I agree it is White Ash. The bark looks good for Ash, but there are lots of similar looking barks out there. The wood is very white, little or no...
