I actually use lumber wrap myself. My old man works at a lumber yard so I have an unlimited supply of lumber wrap and kindling (cut offs and lathe...
I've got some of each going right now mainly because I'm out of covering material. I have My wood stacked in a mowed area a decent distance from...
I actually seek out a cord of Box Elder or cottonwood for the shoulder seasons. Its easy enough to process imo and doesn't over heat the house....
I picked on up when they were clearancing them out in late January I think it was for $799. All I can say is AWESOME unit. Had a few big oak...
I'm with you guys as well, I'll loan you MY time running MY equipment. If you want some of the wood you better be doing the grunt work to earn it!...
Wowzers! That's a lot of wood in those chunks! Nice work
My green when cut oak looks like the stuff on the left after a few months my dead standing doesnt seem to be turning as dark. I wonder why? The...
SCORE! Now "teach" them how to split and stack and your set!
I run all the heavy rounds through the splitter vertically 1 or 2 times to make them liftable and then convert to horizontal and stack right off...
If nothing else stack the tough ones aside until you get a decent pile and rent a splitter or run a splitter for hire add on CL. It will be worth...
I used 2 3/4 cords this winter (my first year burning). The only time the NG furnace came on is when we left town for the holidays. We did have a...
My 450 does the same thing. Temp rise causes pressure ro build and push the oil out is my guess. I just throw an old rag under it and toss it when...
I would cover those stacks to keep the mountainous amount of snow off!;) Looking good though!
Looking good! I still have yet to hit the woods myself. BUSY, BUSY, BUSY! Hoping to get out next weekend both days for a few hours. Had a...
I'm jealous! Got permission to cut a lot of dead standing oaks, but that requires a lot more sweat equity than what I see in those pics! I wish I...
Nice work! The addiction is just beginning! Your ear will soon get tuned to a chainsaw running in the far off distance and you WILL track it down!...
I use both methods. Depends on where I'm stacking and if I have any posts left. I prefer the t-posts about every 20 ft in long piles so when one...
This post has got me itching to hit the woods again. I'll be at it sooner than layet to finish off my 16/17 piles and start on 17/18 soon I hope....
I'm with ya there! I enjoy all steps of the process. Actually kinda bummed that my burning season will wrap up within a week. NG is cheap but my...
I've been doing some research on this stove myself. I have a dealer within 10 miles of my future house to be built. BUT they don't have one on...
