If I had cut that wood here in Iowa (and I did cut a little of it last week) it would be Black Walnut. No way that is Bur Oak, been cutting it for...
I never cover green wood, dont see the point in 40 years of wood burning.
They get under my tarps to have a picnic with the walnuts.
I thought maybe Norman was pulling our leg but now I wonder. He makes some statements that I agree with and some that are silly. His set up and...
Exactly so I cover what I will need this year! 35 mph winds can pack snow in like you would not believe.
Here is a little information that I mostly agree with taking in the variables that can be involved so some of the time frames might be different...

Very interesting thread, two things come to mind, size does matter and in some cases heating a home with wood there will be some trade offs. My...
I agree but no reason to learn how to run your stove in a unsafe manner, which happens a lot.
I remember whacking away at funky pieces of wood (odd shaped pieces, y's ect.) and now with the hyd. splitter life is easier, one of the better...
