And you'd be wrong. It's a 'Bernie' sticker. :p
I used to be a Stihl and Ford guy too. I saw the light. Usually the 'check engine' light. :eek: Now I'm a Mopar/Dolmar dude. Welcome to the...
BTU charts vary somewhat, but generally beech is right around the same BTU content as red oak, sugar maple and yellow birch. The white oaks,...
Ash. Nice stuff.
Rain, bugs, mud, more than a few inches of snow, temps below about 25 degrees, temps above 75 degrees. I can fight high winds if I'm just working...
My dad used to stack white birch logs in his fireplace in the spring, after the heating season was over. They'd be inside, warm and dry all...

Any surveyor that drives a railroad spike into a live tree needs to have his azz kicked. I spent 25 years in the surveying and engineering...
I've burned through three cords so far this season, hard to count since I have been burning year-round with my OWB since it was installed in 2005....
