Does anyone have any experience with the drill bit attachment for splitting wood? I haven’t broken down yet to buy a splitter and have a bad...
I have read his primer but is always good to refresh yourself on what is in there. It was especially Backwoods Savage's primes that helped me...
I have started to do that. I have some unsplit wood waiting to be split. With my shoulder I don't have any business trying to split too much...
Thanks for the clarification. Can one still buy regular stoves or is your only choice now an EPA stove? If you can still buy both what are the...
One person I buy wood from complains about how long Oak takes to properly dry. He even said "too long." Oak may put out a lot of heat but does...
Interesting that you are seeing a difference with 3 year wood. One would think that after especially two years there would be minimal gains in...
The other thing I should add is that whenever I have room for a cord of wood or sometimes even a 1/2 a cord I start looking and refilling the rack...
You certainly do. Live and learn as they say. I purchase and store the wood for at least a year before I use it to burn.
It has been a little while since I posted on here. Last fall/winter I was getting a lot of wood from sellers that was wet. I was basically...
Is your roof flat or do you pitch it at all?
Thanks for the response. When you try and get wood by yourself (which will probably be my case) you have to do that vs. when you have two people.
So it looks like what you had to to be able to load the larger pieces was manually split them? Sorry if a dumb question but am learning that side.
I think it can be kind of a catch-22. Tree cutting companies like this that will deliver wood for free are typically in cities. People in...
I am glad these charts/tables were valuable. If you want to be technical what actually happens in the winter is that the inside relative...
So the theory is that wood can dryer on the outside vs. the inside? Thus by reading the moisture content of freshly split wood you read what the...
They say the only way to get a true reading for wood is split the wood and then do a moisture reading. Reading moisture content otherwise isn't...
Nice you are making progress on getting your wood dry. I hope my pile is doing the same. According to the table for Delaware the best you...
One thing any type of kiln will do is get the moisture out of the wood a lot quicker than just on a wood pile for a significant period of time. I...
Well when you heat air without a source of humidification it causes the relative humidity to decrease. Lower relative humidity is what you want...
Maybe that would be cheaper to do than using a kiln to dry the wood. ;-)
