Man you’ve really got a knack for stepping in it. Look at all those beautiful straight logs with no crotches! Before my locust mania affliction,...
The other night I kind of overdid it loading the stove and the house went up around 80 degrees. My 7 year old just had to have chicken nuggets but...
Remember last year? At least here in Southern New England we had a warm December. I remember last year cutting fallen trees with my uncle mid...
No experience here, but a quick internet search led to plenty of interesting pictures. I've never seen such a thing before. I know finding used...
I seem to remember vague tales of being put in Krampus' sack and being hauled off with the other bad kids. Then again it's possible that memory is...
I’ve seen red maple bark do that on the most ancient trees. Silver likes sandy riverbanks and low flood plains in the wild. I’ll lean towards red...
It’s 34 outside with the temperature rising overnight to above 40 by sunrise. Highs tomorrow in the mid 50s :hair: Currently burning down a pile...
Right off River Road in Middletown. There’s quite a bit of it down that way, and off route 9 in that general area. Pioneer weed tree. They grow...
Lol what highway?!?! Seems like the state is cutting roadside every year now. Last place I saw a while back was by the bridge in Middletown. The...
I pushed the smoldering hemlock back and added a piece of quaking aspen. Now we’re getting somewhere :thumbs: [ATTACH]
I’ve been feeding the stove mostly black birch all day today and saw it was a good time to burn the coals down. I grabbed a barkless split of...
I wonder what their thought process is. Do they figure a cord of wood is about $300, so that’s what they should get for allowing someone the...
Agreed. A couple winters ago it was a mild year and I burned sugar maple almost exclusively. Once I got a decent bed of coals going, I could feed...
It’s interesting that sycamore is rated as high as it is. I’ve heard splitting it can be a pain which doesn’t bother me, but also that it leaves a...
Beech had me opening windows when I first loaded up the stove with it. Similar results with hickory. I never ran a full load of 100% hickory, nor...
Looks like a little white pine, plus some I’m not familiar with. Maybe Scotch or Jack. Either way, your saw will rip through those logs quickly,...
8 trees for $1100 sounds like a reasonable deal to me. Had you done it yourself and things took a turn for the worse, the ambulance ride alone...
Remember that lunar eclipse we had on November 19th? I tried to take a picture of it at 5am but it came out like garbage. However I just noticed...
I agree 100%. Whoever had this house before me put the exhaust system in that room, and installed the switch near the ceiling where I need a step...
Exhaust fan for sucking the hot air from the stove room and forcing it upstairs.
