That's a decent truckload of rounds. It"s always nice to bring home some wood for the stove. Good catch..
For a couple years, I couldn't figure out why a few small areas of the lawn were so much more green and healthy-looking. Oh ya, now I remember,...
Those tangled sticks and tops take way more time than the real wood work. Looks like ya got a lot done in spite of the mess. That loader must come...
Those are some really long stacks and the shed photos seem to go on forever. I hoped to figure out how many BTU's you potentially have there, but...
Pretty cool. How many cords (or fraction) would ya say is fit in there?
Another reason to use dry wood - it is lighter. Sure that's a small thing, but over the years and thousands of splits we have moved around, it has...
You might also consider that for your burn without the cat, you had to leave the damper open. Perhaps a good amount of heat (and unburned gasses)...
What fell here looked and felt more like snow-drops. Kinda halfway between rain and true snowflakes. Sure hope to get at least two days without...
"Are you sore from all that work?" ... "Yeah, but it's a GOOD sore."
We've planted black walnuts, catalpas, horse chestnut, silver & red & sugar maples, honey locusts, dogwood, Norway maple, spruce, pine and...
Another idea about settling down a runaway stove (besides a rotating flue pipe damper) is to have a way to further restrict the primary air...
That picture of the convoluted air, smoke and exhaust paths is really neat, Jeremy. It looks kinda like a diagram of the on/off ramps where...
Very cool, pyro. It would be interesting to measure how much vertical shrink it has after drying out. Some reports of 5-foot stacks losing 6" or...
Eye-dee-ten-tee error.Notice no flames in the firebox between back-puffs.
Holy smokes! Very neat and purdy.. At 5 cords use a year, it appears you are ( way) ahead of the game. Good job!
Those things never last long around here (the gloves and wedges). Stacking wood shreds the glove fingers so bad that they usually have to be...
Triple lucky - it's ash, it's fresh with no rot, four cords nearby and you have a nice lady to pose with the find. Very good catch!
Awesome pictures Dave, just plain beautiful. Could that 28 cords C/S/S all at your place somehow be causing the aurora borealis?
What a great deal you got. That wood has been ready to burn for quite awhile now!
A pair of leather gloves. Must have set 'em down while stacking to take a break a couple years ago.
