I was driving past some property that was adjacent to a parcel I own when I noticed some fresh Alder the power company had recently taken down. Most of it was bucked into firewood length with one 12 foot log there as well. I was able to find the owner on the county property maps. Putting the name and hometown listed into a google search I was able to make contact and get permission to take the wood. It isn’t a lot, but every little bit helps and it doesn’t get any easier than this. Also only 1/4 mile from home. I will get some more tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Nice easy Pickens right there. Looks like the IsoCore had no problem splitting the big rounds. how’s Alder burn?
Once seasoned it burns fine. Quite a bit of ash and doesn’t burn a long time. Moderately cold here so it does a good job of heating our small home. Fir would be prefered but isn’t as readily available. The one nice thing about Alder is if grown fairly close together there aren’t many limbs to deal with and of course no leaves in the Winter. As pointed out by another member here it doesn’t last long on the ground before it starts to go punky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
