This is the Swisher 22 ton which ran out of gas in the middle of shearing a knarly chunk. It has a plastic hydro holding tank and no filter. It...
Mighty fine journal of your work and with pic's too. Good job! That there is a BOATLOAD of splits.
Welcome! The firewood neighborhood sure sounds to me like the place for a post with rip-roaring-fire in it. Good to see ya Andy.
A half inch of ice landed overnight and today's.forecast has sleet, freezing rain and snow. We still have power for now.
NEATO how a bit of air movement can make a positive difference. It looks like a standard little 4" muffin fan found inside of line printers and...
I heard a rumor of Lake Michigan freezing across in the 1930's. It was said that some cars crossed it on the ice. True or fiction? IDK....
Real nice score. You can use the ash to ignite the hard-to-start locust.
All this snow is from moisture flowing outa bogydave's wood stacks. Big Arctic dip in the jet stream shooting that water south to us and making...
Egads, I didn't know until that article how much more propane heating is than electric. We heat with propane (well, between stove burns). Reminded...
Looks like a good hefty load and a fine thing that your truck is strong enough to handle it. My 'lil Ford Ranger with a pile like that in the back...
Very nice prize, that black locust. It provides the longest burns that our stove can do. At 18% it is ready-to-use. Great score!
Working on firewood in 22* f. temperatures sure is better than in summer. We bucked and split 0.8 cords from this supply of ash. [ATTACH] We...
No need to set the alarm. My bladder makes me check the stove after doing one other thing.
Another good reason to top cover is to provide a roof for the wasps that make tons of nests up in there. Then you CAN'T bring that year's wood...
I got a kick out of that handle thingy with the "phone 55" painted on it. Must have been WAY before 10-digit phone numbers like we have today.
Yup ... cheating. Kinda like using a chainsaw on steroids. LOL. Nice stacks!
Good hunks for the cribbed ends - they look like a timesaver. I must spend a quarter or third of the time stacking on finding parallel, non...
Missing pathways in the adolescent brain: the ones that form a conclusion from "what would happen if....?". Times three.
Thanks for the updates Brian - please check back with us in about 2 or 3 days when this load gets down to coals and it needs a reload. Hey, just...
My first thought was along the lines of what Paul Bunyan and Mr. Whopee suggested. Instead of a whole new stove (two stage thing with first drying...
