These are a couple of the logs recently dropped off by a landscaping hookup I found on CL - would love to be able to identify what I've got, as I...
Around here Craigslist is fruitful for pine especially. The "evil pine" myth is in full effect in berkshire county MA, so much so that many of the...
For my purposes, it's just loading the dry pine onto a bed of coals and letting the whole mess burn down. Whereas the hardwood will leave more...
Yep - proper use of pine has saved me many trips with a full ash pail. Running the owb 24/7 from November till March leaves quite a bit of ash if...
Firewood stacks are a redneck's Zen garden. Don't be embarrassed, embrace it. ;)
OP mentions that the initial spring up knocked his helmet off. Would a chin strap maybe have made the difference? I suppose that's a question only...
Wow, thank you for sharing that. Doing so could save a life here. Very glad for you and your family that you walked (ran) away with hopefully...
Great score! I haven't yet had the privilege of burning honey Locust, but have converted many a pine to ash and heat.. Love the stuff!
Well, it looks like this one was not meant to be. The aluminum gear box looks cracked, and both control cables are trashed. The auger "box" is...
Ayuh. Developed some core muscles that year that I didn't know I had..
Thank you for the insight. I was planning on needing a different belt set, but it would be handy to keep the stockers.
Lookin good. Lots of silver maple around here - dries fast and burns hot, if not a little quick.
Nice looking pile of heat there, sir! I love ash; cuts smooth, light weight, splits easy, and stacks come out neat like I know what I'm doing. :)
We call him Spalding. Made him in year 1 when I was cutting and splitting all dozen+ cord of wood by hand.. Might have gotten a little crazy that...
Peaked in the 50s today with 31 overnight... boiler is lit once again. It's eating off the value menu tonight: ugly poplar, willow, a big punky...
Fantastic! That's the kind of day that a man lives for.
Not sure, and didn't find it in a skim of the manual available online. I'll pull it and measure hopefully tomorrow evening. Thanks for the reply! :)
Good evening, smart fhc boys and girls. I recently picked up a snowblower with a blown motor, thinking I'll be out to the scrap yard in a few days...
Sure will post pics. Sadly, I am nowhere near as good at ID on the pine family as I am on deciduous. Around here it's all "pine" so any feedback...
60 here and only down to high 30s over night. Tomorrow we're forecast to hit 70, so the Boiler is cold, and that's fine with me. Looks like next...
