I thought so too! Although my taxes are high enough to the point they should also be s/s it for me and loading splits into the stove while serving...
Now that looks like a lot of work. Those are some big azz pieces. Too much for me, gonna be lots of great btus though.
I like that, "wood fairy". She comes on down and hand delivers it piece by piece all the while sprinkling magic seasoning dust upon the wood.
:hair:The village I live in will deliver wood to its residents whenever they take a tree down. All you gotta do is call the DPW and put your name...
Night all, stay warm. Long weekend coming to an end. Been a good 4 days of burning but the gas mans got a check coming his way for the next few...
Yeah, it's a good insert but if I was 100% dependent on wood heat I would want something bigger. I just use it on weekends, evenings, vacation, ya...
How large of a space are you heating with the insert? My Napoleon is doing well with 1200sf 2 story cape. It is 13 out with 20 mph winds. It's...
[ATTACH] Found this guy on Amazon. It's my only stove tool, use it for coals and moving splits around. Use a garden shovel to clean out ash.
13 out this morning. First full winter with the stove, put it in in March last year and didn't get temps below 30 or so. This silver maple is...
That last pic with the ash is just to show the elm next to it seeing as the guy I got the elm from thought it was ash and I knew it wasn't but had...
Great score. Lots of work but it will pay off in the end. My least favorite part of woodin is unloading the truck and trailer too.
[ATTACH] was puttin the splitter away and snapped a pic of my rehabbed Weber grill. She is a redhead Genesis 1000 3 burner from '93 or '94. Picked...
Got another rack done. Starting to snow pretty hard here now. So great to own a splitter now, I'm on my time, not the rental shops. Time for...
That's cold man. I'll go out there in 20-25, that's where I draw the line. I'm sure the rounds pop a little easier in those subzero temps.
Headed out to do a little splitting right now, around 25 out. That's about as cold as I wanna work in. Like to work all winter, spring and fall....
How long to season the elm? A year?
Of course it will burn, I just prefer not to burn treated lumber. Personal choice of mine.
That's a little guy. They get pretty big over here! I have put copper in campfire but never together with a garden hose, gonna have to try that...
Looks like landscape timbers to me, just like papadave said. 4 bucks at lowes, on sale occasionally for 1.97. Good for stacking wood, not so much...
Good eye. Yeah, there is red maple and as I just learned from Horkn, American elm. All free, all good. The maple splits so nice, might actually...
