While hiking off trail yesterday, I found six green ash poles with bark and no EAB damage even though EAB has gone through like an ash "bomb". I...
The wood on the right looks "punky" and I would not hoard it but would feed it right into the furnace if dry. Black ash and White ash start with...
My firebox is rectangular and I put two 18" sticks in parallel over coals with a half circle over the top. I do not burn full cookies.
The "North Woods" poster must have liked firewood and splitting was more lifting than he could do. He did save some time moving wood to the...
I enjoy reading the "North Woods" genre web sites and read a story from someone who switched to cutting only cookies for firewood. Their purpose...
Sugar maple. The choice of lower density woods like pine is not needed. Any wood dried and split small enough laid down in a criss-cross...
It is just a big patch of brush about 50 feet around, leaves and branches, including some collateral casualties (more stems). Besides, I am out...
While working in the backyard recently, I heard the unmistakable "bass" crack of a tree trunk in the home woods without the classic "swoosh and...
Good storage conditions: For diesel/home heating oil: cool, air tight, no moisture exposure. I would add preservative prior to filling and the...
My understanding: Keep in mind viscosity index (VI) additives are not inherently "good" since VI additives wear out with usage (time/RPM). The...
My understanding is molybdenum replaced zinc, a relatively recent improvement (10-15 years?). The claim is a regular good grade of motor oil with...
No. We have very hard water so... clean the coffee maker or drink milk. 50/50 tap water and vinegar every month. No problems.
[ATTACH] Ginko Petrified Forest SP, Washington, East of the Cascades, North of Yakama. Most likely a Firewood Hoarders site record: the oldest...
The US exports 9+ million tons of pellets per year while Canada exports 3+ million tons, both mostly to Europe, i.e. lots of pellet supplies in...
I would put down two white oak logs in parallel and stack the rest on top to be off the ground. Processing hickory first and cherry second would...
I read years ago that "hoarding" is genetic or intrinsic to human nature. Those who stored more went on to produce more children. Last I looked,...
We only heat with wood and have "consumed" none, a riddle. No snow on the ground. So far, only had one 3 1/2" snow back in December which...
Actually, your "cut" reminds me of eastern red cedar, i.e. juniper. I cut a downed and seasoned juniper log and was startled to find the interior...
I never noticed the BTU error but gave up on BTU's because of the scatter and noise in the numbers, gross versus net for example. I only use...
Please recheck your numbers. For example, the GREEN density of pinyon pine is listed as 51 lb/ft3 by Colorado State University. Your DRY...
