My father has a trailer that, except for the color (mine is brown) is identical to yours. It's branded "Shipmate" but it's the same thing. I...
I don't mind the smell of red oak, but I like white oak much better. However, neither one is high on my list of favorite firewood, mostly because...
That kind of load would have made my old Ram 1500 go on strike (or at least protest). A "half-ton" truck is really just that. Not designed for...
I wasn't able to spot one for sale at this moment in time, but I would imagine one would pop up eventually on eBay or search antique dealers in VT/NH.
I have an F250 with a 6'-9" bed "short bed". When I bought some wood last spring, I estimated that I had a half cord on the truck each time....
First fire yesterday. Got a little chilly for everyone in the house, it was 62 though but in the low 50's outside. The house holds heat well but...
[IMG] This thing? EDIT: Google search turned up a few pictures of these under the term "TRIVETREE".
I have read that a lot of forest management plans call for eradication of beech due to its' growth habits. Foresters will go through a stand and...
I will take a photo of my current firewood supply when I get home. It makes that pile look positively huge in comparison. I have some work to...
I grew up with it, it's in my blood. Went a few years in my late 20's and early 30's burning oil and I did NOT like paying the oilman. I have...
The area in front of each of my wood sheds is covered in wood chips and bark mulch anyway, so most of it just stays there. I pick up bigger...
Yeah, me too. I bought a dozen pair of these, three years ago, I keep three or four pairs in circulation but I haven't worn a pair out yet. The...
Most of the ads I see, seasoned means that they cut the trees down this past spring and it's still sitting in log form in the yard. You want...
So I've given a bit more thought to this, done some more research. I have very limited trails and rather rough and steep terrain. Right now the...
I have an outdoor wood boiler but I burn pine all the time. Not a big fan because it doesn't produce a lot of BTU or coals, but good for this...
This is another thing I have considered (and apparently forgot about), and it would be cheaper than an actual forestry winch. I have a 6' box...
OK some of you guys may not believe this but I got into a discussion with my wife the other night and she was asking all kinds of questions about...
My father gives me anything coniferous - pine, fir, spruce etc. and white birch. He says that they all produce too much creosote and won't burn...
Black birch. By far my favorite firewood. I love the wintergreen smell and it burns HOT. High BTUs.
I've seen Bilco hatchways with removable wooden stairs in them. Remove the stairs and just dump the load of wood in the hatch.
