Cut em down and burn em
Yeah I want to know about the process
I’ve only recently become wise about mulberry trees. ( and only by being a member here). I used to think they were quite rare around here. But now...
I’m with you. I never knew there are so many different kinds of oak. I think all I ever heard of was red, white, pin, and burr oaks
I guess I wasn’t really clear. I cut to 18” for my stove. 16” just leaves to much of the fire box empty when I want a good load for all day or...
Yes, I’ve cut some green ones. I did a couple fire scorched ones in the summer of ‘23. It was green and I’m sure it would have lived, but...

Highs were low to mid 40’s today with a northerly wind, not terribly windy but plenty breezy and cool. Rain moved in mid afternoon and kept it up...
Finally… somebody used the “H” word!
Those are very pretty bundles
Last Friday overnight we had around .60” of rain. That’s the only measurable precipitation since back in July. Fire restrictions are in place...
As I was doing some wood processing yesterday I got to thinking about how dry it is around here. I haven’t lit a fire in the stove yet this year...
I didn’t know weather balloons were still a thing. I figured technology had made them long obsolete. My dad was a private pilot when I was young....
