Need to get my... Hands... On some palm tree for kindling it looks like.
Nice job, mrfancyplants! It has been fun to watch you gather and build the hoard - soon we'll get to enjoy pictures of the fire! :)
That's always a sad task. I had a bear tear down the side wall of a stack once. Can't imagine why, but that wall was bloody strong so I know it...
Looking good there! Wish we could have gone with the PH instead of the IS for aesthetics, but a side loader just wasn't in the cards. You did a...
In Australia, you'd be all set! :rofl: :lol: (<-- this guy got the joke.) Lol
We're not too far behind you for now.. 39 yesterday morning before I came down closer to sea level. You'll outpace us soon in the cold department!! :)
Try again when it gets below 0. Makes it easier to get through, in my experience. -edit- I see you might not be below 0 by your location.. I'm...
Yeah, you got destroyed last winter, didn't you? Enjoy every ounce of summer you can get, brother! :)

Probably not the smartest way to go about it. On the bright side, he didn't tip over into the power lines.
That sounds like a bear to track down, but one of those things that makes perfect sense when it dawns on you. Glad your old iron is still rolling.
What was the solution for your wood rig, Locust Post?
Wow, I wouldn't have had the guts to roll it into a boat! Good on ya, Dave. :dex:
It will give up the bark from normal handling once it's dry, in our admittedly limited experience. The layer of slimy crap underneath is where the...
I'll go with wood I have available here as well. Ash: Good heat, easy to process, gives up bark easily = less mess and bugs indoors. Sugar...
This is Ren and Stimpy material, FHC team.. [MEDIA] Dopey cartoon from the 90s. :)
Bumping into tree guys, making a few acquaintences, and having my stacks in view of the road. Twice I've had people stop and offer just based on...
I burn a bunch of white pine every year. Lights fast, burns hot, and best of all I can get it delivered for $0. If I ever run out, there's a ton...
