Call me crazy, but I like seeing fungus on my splits. They eat moisture, right? :) Don't know if I'd cook a burger over it until the 'shrooms...
Great pics! Love the old iron, even if it's a Ford. ;) Up here, something of that vintage would have needed a frame off restoration fifteen years...
Careful in the fireplace - word on the street is that black Locust is pretty sparky
Supposed to hit single digits again tonight, but feels so much warmer without the wind. Last night's 1/2 fill of three year old hardwood (beech,...
Lots of heat in that pile, sir. Good work indeed!
RealFeel is 7, to be in the negatives by morning. November or not, we're hitting it hard tonight with some 3yr css beech, black birch, and ash....
Apple is a great burner - very hot wood. Takes a bit of time to dry, but it's worth the wait. We come across a bit now and then, and while I use...
Still on the pine plan, but tomorrow might change that. Calling for a low that's scraping single digits. I think red maple is up first in the...

Hey, you've got a horse on your couch, man! :)

Didn't think of that, but it does grow around here. No thorns, but I'm sure the logger would have taken care of that before nesting with the tree....
Animal urine. Around here, anyway. :)
No problem at all - those pieces are good to start a fire with, as the punky bits light off quickly when they're dry.
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely not any species of softwood. This was a stringer left over from a log load I got a few years back. As soon as...
This has been buried under some pine I've been working on for the better part of three years. I unearthed it a few weeks ago and rolled it onto a...
Something else I'd mention is to be careful loading close to the door - I have a co worker with a 5500 who cooked the wiring to the fan and warped...
My issue was just a matter of being over filled. It cooked off a handful of times, found it's own level, and I've been good since. I've got four...
Very sorry to hear it, Frank and Beans. You've done very well to decide that the kids are worth living for. You have the power and the gift of...
