The tulip popular I picked up this spring seems to be it’s own kindling, even when split real thick. I really enjoy throwing a stack of them on...
I jinxed myself; tweaked my lower back this morning splitting some white oak that was already manageable sized. I was splitting on a hill and...
Just a suggestion, but maybe try hand splitting before loading in the truck? not as involved as bringing the hydraulics, and in my experience...
I understand that situationally, it is not the primo wood that is always worth it, but correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that...
A load of mostly tulip poplar this morning (27f outside). I should start every fire with tulip poplar as it gets rolling nice and quick. The tubes...
I’m putting the isocore on my naughty list.. I mean my wish list. That and a a new tub of miracle whip for getting pitch off of my work shoes. I...
[ATTACH] Half yeller popple, half cherry shorts.
Somehow, a couple large holly splits I scrounged this year ended up next to the fire. I didn’t think it would be dry enough to burn yet, but I put...
[ATTACH] I picked up another trunk-load of cherry on the way home last night. There were a couple landscapers asking if I wanted any wood before...

Nice, I was needing some wood for next year of my 3-year plan now that I am burning more. The gas hasn’t kicked on so far...
[ATTACH] This is cherry, right?
Nice, although, it sounds like you could use a stove. :dex:This is my first year into a 3 yr plan using an insert that came with our house, and I...
Nice... that red oak splits nice and easy by hand, except for the crotchety parts, but nothing a little noodling can’t handle. Can you wait 3yr...
Honey locust has the same sort of leaves as Black locust, but not that distinctive bark. I guess they are completely different genus, but happen...
I might stick with mineral oil on these rather then venture with the laxative. I think they are pretty well dried out by now. Next step is the...
My Norwegian maple sandwich with white oak bread privacy fence. There is a jumble of white oak that is semi split next to a cut off pile. The...
I moved some of this over to my “on deck” stack. Split some and checked the moisture readings. Just a couple readings were a hair over 20% right...
I’m a little surprised it wouldn’t split easier even with that diameter. Hand splitting? Did you try picking it off the edges parallel to the...
