Looks like heat! Lots of yellow birch in the woods over here, though I haven't been privy to any in a few years. Burns pretty hot and is more...
I hear you. It does require quite a bit more oversight to burn the "non coaling" species.
Looks tasty. Good choice of weapon. Sawzall has a much smaller kerf than a chainsaw.
OWB eats off the dollar menu here in shoulder season. Pine, willow, hemlock, poplar... all the stuff that snob guy a few posts up won't touch. :D...
Enjoying a lazy day with the family after a long week. Mid thirties and raining here - just checked on last night's (8pm) load of red maple and...
I'd burn it. Nice load as always, Greg! Those should be good to just knock in half, yeah? I tend to split ash large for the boiler. -edit- maybe...
Silver maple is a nice wood - dries fast, good light to medium duty heat. They tend to be huge, fragile yard trees around here. There too? Just...
Agreed - I had to do a big crotch this way recently. In my case a sledge and a couple wedges came in handy for breaking off the chunks after...
Thanks! And thanks Well Seasoned for the invite! Not sure what our status will be regarding college visits (proud papa of a junior in high...
Mrs Papi used to do the morning load, but a couple years ago she bent wrong on a scrounging trip (to pick up brush, incidentally) and really...
23 here, feels warmer without wind and with generally moist air. Red maple still turning the trick. Had to have Mrs Papi load a few pieces as I...
There's a guy on rt 9 out here who has had a sign up for years advertising firewood for sale with a phone number. I dive by three other day and...
Four years here, only oil we've burned was for testing the furnace. Only got caught with real cold in the house a couple times. Fell asleep before...
Looking good! Love our crock pot. Mrs Papi uses it a couple times a week lately, and I couldn't be happier. She is very creative with it, comes up...
Great high btu feast!
High twenties here, snow falling pretty aggressively. Got probably six inches here today, then it did the freezing rain thing for a while, now...
Wish I could do it that way, but unfortunately my little bit of trees here is on a heck of a hill. My splitter would be looking like that...
Keep biting that elephant Mike and you'll have it down in no time! I like the cart - one Mike power, right? :)
Nice work there. The more I do this, the more important I find it to clean up after myself every time or two I split. Mrs Papi started me on it,...
Cool concept, probably good for those who are scared of barking a shin with a maul, but if they're fetching $400... even if I was scared of a...
