I haven't lit my stove yet. We did have a fire in the fireplace at my parents house over the weekend. [IMG]
The two large pallets I just made into firewood boxes have 2” thick Oak runners. Definitely notice the difference. My father is just finishing up...
A Black Locust locator
The tree was about 100 yards from the splitter area [IMG] I love Cherry. The color, the smell, the burning of it, tends to have very few...

Decided to try something different yesterday. Had some dead standing Red Maple I took down, which was hollow inside. Propped it up a few inches...
