Well I’ll be darned. The wood is drier on the inside than it is on the outside. I could burn this later this week if I want to. For those not...
I felt this 2 minute scrounge wasn’t worthy of its own thread so I’m adding it to this older one. I’ve had my eye on these crusty barkless lengths...
Currently 30 with a projected low of 25 overnight. I just raked the coals forward which conjured up some ghostly blue flames. I’ve been burning a...

Not much in your neck of the woods yet I’m guessing? We’ve only had a few dustings here really, maybe about 2-3 inches total.
Some big rounds for sure! Saving the noodles for tinder? How about the wood itself, going to CSS it? I only grabbed one roadside cottonwood log by...
That’s an absolutely massive amount of dead chestnut oak there.... :bug: If I scored that much and already had the inventory you’ve got, I’d be...
This is a splitting comparison of elm that had died and was standing dead about a year +/- a couple months, versus a live one I split that the...
The more the haters bloviate on and on about it, the deeper my affection grows for it. ;) Some have experienced clinkers in their stove after...

That looks identical to the one I rented from Home Depot in the summer of 2020. Super easy to use. Having zero experience running heavy equipment,...
What we have here is a friendly forum where we can share knowledge, experiences, advice and a little humor concerning wood heat, DIY projects,...
A beautiful, comfortably cool 30 degrees outside. Black locust shorties with one token split of elm from last year’s stacks that somehow evaded...
It got down to 18 this morning, and I can't remember a time when I was happier to see the thermometer drop into the teens for the first time in a...
30, breezy and partly cloudy. Supposed to drop to 19 by dawn. Black locust and red oak working the afternoon shift.
I posted both American and Chinese for comparison. What Brad found is definitely Asian chestnut, which I believe to be Chinese (There are Japanese...
Normally glossy from the top and generally thicker.
I'm not sure about the firewood value. I'm sure it'll work fine for shoulder season. If it's anything like American chestnut it'll light easy and...
I think I see a leaf in one of your pictures. The Chinese leaves have a finer serration and aren't as hooked as American, and have a shinier...
