Made that mistake my first year too. It happened to be a really cold winter and the ground was basically frozen all winter, so luckily moisture...
Made that mistake my first year. Couldn’t believe how heavy those maple rounds got! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’m pretty confident I burned some unseasoned wood my first year burning, but I also assumed the wood I paid for would actually be seasoned. I was...

Love those strings. They catch immediately in the stove. No kindling needed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don’t miss using a hydro on elm. What a pain. Pulling it apart is a whole other workout. Never had the “luck” of having to do it by hand! The...

Any ideas for drying time for locust as compared to other hardwoods? I stacked with a load of oak, figuring that whatever wood it was it would...
Thanks for the response. I don’t believe I’ve ever dealt with black locust before. Hopefully a few others will chime in as well and we will see if...
I went to the dump this weekend to get rid of some yard waste, etc. and there was a nice pile of wood that someone had dumped. It had no bark on...
