I bet the tall chimney makes for more buildup. Nothing you can do about that. I suppose a mid-season sweep couldn’t hurt if able to do it safely.
Guy charged me $1175 dropped and cut to length. Brush taken away. He had to climb and cut versus a bucket because of the location of it. I may...
Yes. I had them take away brush up to a few inches. I took everything else
Yes, they bucked to length. I just have split and stack. I’ll get an exact measurement tomorrow but I’m guessing rhe DBH is about 25 inches or...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Had the large red maple tree taken down today. While it does not shade out the wood too much (surprisingly) it was good to get...
While I’m talking about that red Maple in the picture. Curious what people would guess this would be as far as amount of firewood it would...

Is your drying area sunny and more in the open? I ask because I always thought where I have my wood was so-so. But usually I can dry the less...
Thanks Brad! Ironically, when I go to single rows, I’m questioning moisture content, weird.
I feel that I had Norway maple before that took more time to dry than I expected. More recently , I processed a bunch of it in November 2024, so...
In last day or two, I’ve been noticing multiple tree species with leaves that look tired from the lack of rain.
Thanks all. After seeing the ash tree and now the beech tree problems, I got a little nervous after seeing those hickory trees.
Maybe it’s the lack of rain like said above. Hopefully so.
in Southeast Connecticut here. I’ve been away from Connecticut for a couple of months. I’m noticing on my first day back in the woods to hike my...
I’m in the woods almost everyday with my dogs and we will come upon these sunnier spots in the woods where the beech trees are. Very sad.
Thanks for all the ideas/insight everyone. I think I will continue spreading out the firewood “waste” in to woods in the back. I though of the...
