Yikes...I better stop complaining about $785 for my homeowners insurance. Ranch house, garage and 3 outbuildings.
I thought about Mimosa, but when he said leaves were like dogwood, eliminated that. And bark not right. I burnt Mimosa already...not bad.
Hey Woodtroll, thanks. Funny you should post this today as I bought and just assembled a few hours ago one I got from Amazon. Problem with a lot...
Forgot to mention, it was a hickory and red oak. Dead as I mentioned. but solid with no punk or rot. MM said 25-30% on the splits I checked so...
My partners sister called and said her landlord cut down a couple dead trees on the property where she lives and took the bottom 8’ of each to be...
Buy a rope. I have 100' one someone in the tree business gave me 20 years ago. Don't use it often, but excellent tool when you need it.

Mine is 4 years old now and in pretty good shape. I put some fire bricks on the bottom and keep it covered with a sheet of rubber when not in use.
Good work. Once again I'm impressed and admire you guy firewood hoarders who live in what appears to be the suburbs with limited room and...
