What do you consider the perfect sized tree?

I posted one of them in the BTU thread if you want to check it out. They're limited to a spring in a sunny cove. Everywhere else they're little things.

 

Big or small they all burn. If you can drop it css safely then its the perfect tree. Ash does split beautifully tho.

 

Greater than 12 up to 30inches. Prefer dropping trees less than 24 inches though. Really like working the trunks, actually what makes a good sawlog for the mill. Neighbor asked if I wanted the tops after he had a small woodlot logged. I told him I was picky and would be scrounging for the big stuff first, haha!!!

 

Sounds like some Buckin. I really like Buckin large rounds.

 

Big enough to make me grunt a little, small enough to pick up onto the splitter without the family jewels landing in my boots. And preferably cut to 24".

 

Yep. 16-20” from the tree guys. No limbs. Lots of nice square splits.

 

Got lots of those here, grow right along the roads everywhere. Ya just gotta unhook the wires from them when they drop.
36" & under standing dead. Anything bigger is real work.

 

Up to 20 inches is OK with me. I have a lot of dead standing elm that is in the 4-8 inch size that is nice. Easy to handle and easy to split.

 

20” or under is my favorite. I used to didn’t care but when you have back issues you do things a little different. Just easier to deal with all around. I’m sure fooling around with some of those big suckers is some of the reason for the back problems, so that’s something to consider men

 

FREE!!!!!!! HAHAHA

 

Dead standing, no small branches, the bigger the better. Tons of splits from the 30"+ rounds.

 

My nephew is getting into the maple syrup business. I’ll send you some pics of his setup. He has a beautiful old barn where he put his evaporator.

 

Peefect wood size 16” to 18” long and dry.

 

That chopper sure makes big pellets, eh?
