Wow, thanks for all your kind words, suggestions, and advice. Also for just offering to listen. It means so much to me. :campfire:
I'm thinking it could be burr oak(?) I got it in log form so I didn't see the branches or the acorns.
Most likely when they were building the trailer they just placed the boards then welded the angle iron to hold it in place. Very good idea cutting...
It's a shame we live in a world where when a man has a problem everyone tells him to "just man up" or "pick yourself up by your bootstraps." or...
Here is a pic of the coals. Normally this is more than enough coals to keep the temperature up. [ATTACH]

My secret is, don't ever complain about what they bring. Sometimes it's pine, cottonwood, hollowed out, rotten, or has metal in it. I always say...
Local connection. I'm very fortunate to have this guy. He has a tree service and does nothing with firewood.
Came home to 2 piles of logs from a tree service. :thumbs: Here is pile #1 It's mostly Silver Maple but it cuts, splits, and burns fantastic....
