    Neighbor gives me a tree!

    The guy's taking the main trunk and the rest will last you years?! You must not burn a lot... Don't get me wrong, I burn mainly for pleasure and I only burn a couple of cords a year. Enjoy it!

    Craigslist laughs?

    Laugh all you want to! I'm perfectly happy to work for my firewood, using what I consider to be spare time, doing something I enjoy doing AND gaining a sense of maybe helping someone who often doesn't know any different, or have the resources to pay someone else. I have no desire to take a job...

    Yellowish Maple Tree

    Thanks for the quick and detailed reply ATH! 1) Yep! 2) Yes and no... We've gone through a number of swings of dry spells and wet periods this summer. You can see from the lawn in the image that we're enjoying a rather wet period over the past couple of weeks. (I don't irrigate, but prefer...

    Yellowish Maple Tree

    I have a dozen maple trees on my lot of various ages and types. All are volunteers of some sort, having either been dug up elsewhere and transplanted, or they've popped up where they stand now. The first 4 were transplants, of which three are still standing. One of them just never seemed to...

    Craigslist laughs?

    I keep seeing these adds and with most of them, I can't seem to find a single "tree" in image! Kindling at best, if someone wanted to go through and snip/break up all the twigs. I know most are just efforts to get someone else to do their cleanup work for them. If someone is willing to do...

    Want to Buy Monster maul

    I'd sell mine, except shipping from where I live to KS would pretty much negate any value either of us hold or might gain from it. Honestly though, I'm not typically one for selling things as I usually feel (know) that as soon as I sell something, I'll need it for something. I think I picked...

    Want to Buy Monster maul

    Welcome aboard Jack! I still have mine and haven't used it in a number of years. It's a very aggressive tool and heavy as heck to boot. You've got to put some real oomph into it and going at the right kind of wood. I still like swinging a little, but generally just fire up the gas splitter...

    Craigslist laughs

    We get a lot of these post around where I live. I understand why people do it, but I'm not so sure I'd be too keen to invite random strangers onto my property to dump logs and/or anything else they might decide to toss off their trucks and skedaddle. Or "fall" while there and file a lawsuit...

    It looks like you could crush a truck with that thing. Bring on the spaghetti elm! Haha

    Craigslist laughs

    Highly unlikely I'll sell it without a plan to replace it. We don't burn much, doing so more for ambiance and as a back up plan for that ever-pending "storm-of-the-century". We go through 1-2 full cords a year and I have 6 onhand. I can always find room for more but I've passed on some...

    Craigslist laughs

    I spent $500 on mine a couple of years ago and grumble about it everytime I look at it. It's homebuilt and 20+ years old, but splits almost anything I put on it. Then I think about how much I've split with it and didn't risk a heart attack swinging the maul and I get over it. I have about 5...

    How's Your Wood Pile Looking?

    I have 6 cords onhand and curing, which will last me 3-4 years, depending on the weather and how often we feel like putting in and keeping a fire going. It seems that every year I get a little more, having closed gone into last Fall with 4 cords onhand and the previous Fall with 3 cords and...
