It's not particularly dense stuff, as I'm sure you can tell. Goes up pretty quick, has some crackle and burns hot. I don't recall what the odor is...
It smells like a spicy citrus to me. Got tons of the stuff around here on the shore and it's great to have for kindling. I never pass on the sass!
A tree service did some work right across the street from my office earlier this week. They cleared up quite a bit of brush, but left a 20'...
I moved my shed across my yard using a few PVC pipes (rollers) and 2x4's (track). Cheap and efficient. If you're not moving the pallet that far it...
We have no shortage of sassafras in my area. As soon as the saw touches the wood it emits a spicy, citrus odor that I absolutely love. The bigger...
Not a bad setup, but he could definitely improve on this design. I've contemplated building a solar kiln in my back yard, as I have no shortage of...

Ooooof! Feel your pain brother. Had to restack an entire holz hausen last year.

Yes, it's a lighter. My grill (not pictured) is close by, but not too close. I had hung the lighter there for a moment when I moved the grill....
I built that shed and put it about 10 feet from our back door so that the "queen" would have an easier time of bringing in some firewood. To date...
Filled up the pallet palace yesterday. About 2.5 cords of red oak, with a smattering of maple and a random stick of ash. The shelf in the middle...
Deep down in our primitive DNA, coded in some long-forgotten double helix strand, lies a set of caveman traits that have never gone away. Protect...
Sign of our times. Everyone is so very quick to point a finger.
I found over the past few years that firewood that I had stacked close to a shed or other building did not season as quickly. Looks like you have...
It is indeed sugar maple. As far as dinner goes, what's your poison? I make a mean pasta sauce with meatballs. Over the past year I've started...
