    You're right on the money with the time frame. I've still got plenty of inventory to burn through before I'll need this red oak, so 3 years (or more) it'll stay stacked out back. Unfortunately I don't have a glut of ready to burn oak in the meantime since I sold the bulk of it like a fool :picard:, but I do have a good mix of lesser species, along with plenty of black locust for the colder nights and longer burns. I'm looking forward to this red oak though...

    Maestro like work here. Tall tree, solid take down and good use of a tree that needed to go down. Red oak is like money in the bank…..and it resists inflation. The BTUs are the BTUs.

    Oh the joy of schlepping and staging rounds. Kinda getting old with me. Making me old in the process too. At least the hot weather is over and those don't turn into a fungi farm even if protected.
