    I started out this morning taking a ride down the local dirt road where I’ve gotten so much downed wood this past year. I bucked a few rounds of white oak with the 455 Husky and noodled them in half. As I was finishing up, a truck pulls up and a guy about my age approaches. He says he owns the horse farm at the end of the road and wants to know if I want some precut crabapple. Being an ultra rare score for me, I happily take him up on his offer. There’s still plenty of oak and crabapple left, and I have his number whenever I have time to make it back. Score!

    Definitely a win!

    The crabapple I've been cutting and burning is a little smelly. Not in a good way either. I burnt some of it in the fire pit on the patio and it smelled like nasty oil. It burns great though, so I'll burn the evidence.

    Bummer to hear this. My main reason for wanting it was for cooking turkeys in the pit outdoors. If it's got a funk to it, then it'll just be regular stove wood for me.
