Just scored two and a half loads of roadside White Ash. Love splitting this stuff and the heat it offers. [ATTACH]
Relatively mild winter here in NC, no snow either. Burned up all my jenk wood to make room for some better stuff. Got the processing area cleaned...
No snow this year so far in western NC but I did burn a boat load. Bucked this stuff up a few days ago for next year. All my wood is free from...
All my wood sits on 4x4's so rotting isn't really an issue. I burn a lot year round to include the fire bowl so not much wood of mine ever goes to...
Have a friend who was taking down an old maple too close to his house. Got another two or three loads when he's done bucking it up. [ATTACH]
They call it Lighter Knot here in NC, works great but I don't have time to scavenge it so I use Strike-A-Fire from Home Depot.

I'd grab that too!

I hide my runts between two rows as well, can't have my rows looking all warped and crooked.
Never really measured them but probably 24" or so. Being I don't trailer anything or split on sight I keep everything within my lifting limits to...
I'm 56, been cutting wood as a necessity since I was a kid and never heard of the vernacular spoken on here. I was told to cut wood, haul it,...
I left a monster laying on the ground that's just way to big for a solo guy and a pickup. Shame to see it rot but no way to get it out of there...
I don't mind cutting year round with the proper hydration. I mix a pouch of oral rehydration salts in a 32 oz Nalgene bottle and let it absorb...
Had a friend offer me an arrow straight white oak he took down. I left some of the top end but otherwise was a decent load. The 80% humidity and...
Great advice. I find after a half hour or so I can get complacent. Hope for a speedy recovery.
