How does it compare to the 27? I got some clunky maul at the depot and it just feels like swinging an 8lb noodle compared to the 27. Thinking of...
Well said; I’ll keep an eye out for a free one. Here is the week’s hoard of white oak, with a little pine in back on top of a pile of about a...
The milk has to fit somewhere or he’s in trouble... I’m speaking from experience.
I agree, w mostly Norway maple. I similarly car hoarded (on leather seats) over a cord of this stuff from a neighbor’s house. Yours looks a lot...
Nice, i’d say that is putting the chunks to good use. I’ve got a couple pretty good sized piles of cutoffs and mis-splits going, and i’m wondering...
Sorry, no pics yet, but I got another car load of white oak. There were a lot of short and uglies left so I opted for some longer rounds that I’ll...
Why do the pellet guys prefer softwood pellets? Less ash?
Actually, I think softwood is better for BTU per pound; BTU per volume or cord is where hardwood comes out on top. I.e. hardwood is more dense. I...
I think he’s asking about your avatar ;)
Is it oak tip blight that is causing the increase in supply? We had a really wet couple years and then virtually no rain for a month and a half,...
Nice score. I bet you could split the ash with a whack or two from a fiskars, and save some effort noodling. Smash and grab is my M.O.. For me,...
Yup, free for the taking, and cut into manageable pieces so I didn’t even need to do much smashing. I wish I could thank the deliverers as it...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Oooh, I’m sweating the struts this morning.I got that white oak I was hoping for; I can tell by the whisky smell. Do...
Here is the half stack of thick red oak and I think some cherry. Two trunk loads. In retrospect, I should have gone a little thinner as I’ll need...
Hey, who you calling a .... ah, the pine sap of course :) . Good thing I have a nice protective layer of sawdust in the trunk. These didn’t seem...
[ATTACH] Loaded up with some pine this morning. I’ll let this sit for a while before I attempt splitting. A lot more activity with people picking...
Cedar (which is really juniper), tulip poplar (which is really closer to magnolia), pine (catch-all for evergreen), maple (various types) and...
From last week, I think if they are not both red oak, than the other splits are cherry, right? I didn’t see the classic shiny bits that oak has....
Even split super thick? I’ll post a pic of my new thick stack later. I think I can put off until year four, but I guess we’ll see how my...
I have a tube stove insert, so was planning on leaving these splits chunky, but giving them four years to season. Since there is no cat to worry...
