I don’t think you can get a face cord in them just tossed in or off of a conveyor I have to put a bit of a crest on the large ones to get a face...
Of my 13 saws, I find myself reaching for the echos the most. Either 4910 or 620 depending on the size of the wood. I think I’m going to get...
I used to hate stacking. Now I just place the splitter next to the stacking area and stack straight off the splitter. Pull rounds straight out of...
Thanks Brad will do. Had gusts up to 80mph this evening and still blowing steady at 50 at 10:30pm. Will be lucky if that cottonwood is still in...
Tree service dumped about a cord and a half of cottonwood yesterday. Definitely not my favorite, but will take it occasionally when dropped and...
Pretty mild winter here this year as well. Will probably still have a few morning/evening fires, but 30 day forecast looks pretty mild. I barely...
Completely agree. The locust and apple work great in the old smoke dragon out in the shop…not so much in the NC30 in the house. Dead standing...
For me locust is almost useless when burned by itself during very cold weather. Fills the stove with coals and doesn’t throw much heat. Works...
If I was selling wood I would measure it. Too much work to sell it for what I could get for it, so I just eyeball it as well. Like you said my...
I have tried the ash and paper towel method as well. It does work, but not nearly as fast and clean as the sprayway glass cleaner. I use the damp...
Spray way is not ammonia based. Much easier and cleaner than using stove ash and newspaper.
What do you use to clean the glass on your stove? I have read all of the horror stories for years about how hard it is to get the soot off the...
My rack is my little yard trailer that I can back up to the sliding glass door on the patio. Puts my wood supply about 3 steps from the stove....
My biggest was an American elm. Didn’t measure it, but 36” bar lacked a little over 4” of getting through it when bucking from both sides. Ended...
I cut a couple trainloads of firewood with a second hand 029 and an ms290 that I bought new several years after I bought the 029. I took the 029...
From my experience, splitting American elm sucks whether green or dry. Most Siberian elm I’ve dealt with splits very easily if green, like water...
I’ve done it that way before and they held up ok. Lasted about 10 years and I left them full of wood when I moved from that place. Never had any...
I have decided that going forward I am done with stacking. I have access to an unlimited supply of IBC totes for free. I am going to build 3 bins...
Last several years I had already burned at least a face cord by now. Have only had one small fire so far this fall. Warmest October I’ve ever seen...
I can tell you that I can load a heaping load of rounds, loose thrown into my dump trailer. Then dump them out and split them and throw the splits...
