I noticed in the btu and drying chart that 12 months for American Beech was enough. I’ll have to keep this separate when I stack it in totes to...
30 cords of noodling?!?!? That’s a lotta mulch to get rid of!
Big logs! They’re fun to work with once in a while. Not sure I’d want to process them exclusively though.
This will keep me busy for a week or so. I am still on the prowl for loads of logs. I really need to get around to the tree guys and see if they...
40/63, just lit a fire to take the chill off. More oak as usual.
No progress on getting the new build going so hauled home 2 loads of big oak from a friend’s house. I’ll keep a couple of big rounds for a sawing...
I wanted a smaller saw but was unsure of how much I’d use it so I grabbed a Neotec 846 (I think) for about $120-$130. Ms250 clone. I replaced the...
30/65, oak. Found some rain soaked oak to burn. Oops. Good thing it’s almost chimney cleaning season! Hauled a load of oak logs to help a friend...
30 out, 61 in. Oak heating up the house. Pork butt on the Weber with charcoal and oak. I split all the logs I had yesterday (cheated and used the...
Got home last night to 64 in the house so lit a small fire to take the edge off. Had someone come out to quote the excavation and I told him to...
Just lit up for the morning and turned the furnace back down for the day. I can definitely tell it is warming up outside. Doesn’t take much of a...
Woke up to 65 in the house still from last night. Furnace hasn’t run yet! Oak burning now. Unfortunately our coffee pot decided it was quitting...
Oops. I put the backhoe on my Bobcat again for the spring and found out how much heavier it is again…
I burned a couple 6-7” diameter trees. Split it big if your stove has a decent size door.
More oak with a couple pine branches tossed in. This is tote number 19 for the year between us and 2 neighbors. Ready for a little spring!
I’m not sure if there are many ash trees in my area. Mainly oaks and pines, with the occasional cherry, elm, sassafras, or whatever else sprinkled...
I love maple. Sounds like I’ll like beech as well. To be fair the only wood I haven’t liked is wet wood.
That’s good! I’ve never processed any before now or burned any but this sure seems wet, heavy, and hard to split. Usually those add up to a lot of...
Let the fire go out overnight. Shoveled the ash out and lit again with oak. Hopefully when this tote of wood runs out we are warming up and don’t...
We’re getting close on a floor plan finally. We are fairly sure the main floor wood stove will be a corner install. The basement I think will get...
