Good amount there. Stacked the general cordage splits today. Temporary until a rack opens up. 6.5' x 5' tall so a face cord. With the bundle splits my load yielded over a half cord. Killed this spotted lantern fly while stacking. Dunno if it came from Joe's or is a local.
I think your county (along with Fairfield) was one of the first counties in CT to detect SLF. That one is probably a local goon. I had a thought yesterday ~ Since I don't currently have them at my house, I probably shouldn't bring home any more TOH wood until at least next spring. Reason being, this time of year they lay their eggs on TOH bark, so if I bring home infested rounds, all I'm doing is helping spread them faster.
With the stench a blind one can find it....PU!!! I really cant stand the smell of the fresh splits. Id rather have the wood yard full of fresh pin oak splits. Road trip back to Joe's in March? Mebbe that pile of limbs will be dry enough to burn by then?
I'd go back for more in the spring for one more load. That's the thing with fast burning low BTU wood though: I don't want cords and cords of it taking up real estate at my house.
I hear you and can relate. Thinking mine will be put aside for that outdoor burner in West Hartford. Ill top off their half cord with some some wood from my prior score (cottonwood & white walnut) They're not fussy, just ecstatic my wood ACTUALLY burns and doesn't smolder.
