Introduce yourself here !

I use Tapatalk instead of a browser. You touch the paper clip, and it goes to gallery to choose an existing, or the camera to take a pic. It will save it to the phone as well as post to forum.

I keep forgetting that it pists in landscape instead or portrait mode tho.

Oh,welcome aboard.

 

Thanks, I'll try one or the other.

 

Hi my name is Chris I live in Victoria Australia and I'm addicted to the smell of two stroke and eucalyptus sawdust.

Welcome.
Hard to tell but those rounds look pretty big, 24" long? What do you burn em in?

 

Thank you. The rounds are actually 36" long and some are 72". I bring them home in lengths then cut them in to 12" blocks with my grandfathers old saw bench.
I burn them in 2 Ultimate wood heaters. (Inbuilt wood stoves)

Hi all, newb to the forum here. My name is Markus. I've heated with wood before but, at the present, find myself in a 80something year old twin in Bucks County, PA. Anyway, I've had 2 Vermont Castings stoves in the past so, when I was looking for a place and I saw the fireplace in this home, my mind was set on an insert. So, I ended up with a Vermont Castings Montpelier. I have a Stihl saw and have been getting most of my wood from the stump pile of a local sawmill. So far I've been very happy with it except that the mancave is generally downstairs in a finished basement while the thermostat is in the same room as the insert. I split the wood by hand with a Fiskars splitter and an Estwing wedge. My boys help when they're around (one is in college). Thanks in advance for the knowledge I'm sure you'll impart.

 

Great to have you here!

Hey guys. First time poster from PA. Just picked up a truckbed full of rounds (cut myself the other day) and thought I'd post. In the 8ft rack in the photo, the bottom is red oak, pin oak on top. And this new pickup should be white oak (I'm not an expert).

I started off with a 4ft tube rack (what was I thinking), then bought an 8ft with top cover...now, I'm probably going to start using pallets and tarp for top cover. The kicker is - I can't burn wood yet. Moved into this new house in April, had a chimney inspection and they found a few issues. Saving up some coin to get a liner and wood burning stove put in. I split by hand - kinda bought too many axes already. Fiskers X27, Fiskers Iso-Core 8lb Maul and the Husqvarna S2800 was just ordered.

Happy New Year!

Welcome BCM!

 

Welcome and nice you know the rules already posting pictures in your first post.

 

Welcome BCM! Those rounds will burn nice once split! Good idea to go with the lining and do it right, as painful as it might be to pay the evil oil man.
