May just look like a dent but that's quite a bit of wood bucked up

I have 2-3 cord left over from last year. Assuming we stop burning at some point, it's only March after all. Have a cord stacked from earlier this year then I'll have this last couple of cord I've been splitting and I'll be sitting pretty. Then I can just fiddle on some the rest of the year getting ahead again.
 
90% of the wood I collect is for cooking foodView attachment 717819 View attachment 717820View attachment 717821View attachment 717824 the seasoned pile on the left is getting smaller and the pile on the right is getting bigger. I took this pic today after selling 1/4 cord to a guy running a pizza oven

ml-that is an amazing stat, imo. I like cooking over hot wood coals. oak and mesquite mostly. smoke with pecan, too. cooking food? who uses it all? that stash would cook up a feast for almost any size crowd! u sell to restaurants? or?... nice pix
 
I don’t wanna forget my splitter. Here’s my kindling rack I made and some oak and plum kindling for my smoker, this way it’s much faster getting the food cooking. I’m kinda I’m patient, I put the food on the grill then start my fireView attachment 717856View attachment 717855 View attachment 717857View attachment 717858

nice splitter pix. I like the construction of the splitter! noted your idler... :D

I got in some old cedar fencing scrounged recently. but nice wood! will be hand splitting it into kindling. I set it up so when the axe goes thru, and it releases the pce... off it flies into the 'catch bin!'... but, lol, I don't always make a basket! each split seems to have a mind of its own. I made some similar kindling couple weeks back. and noted I was breaking in two to make fire in house fireplaces... so this time I cut the cedar a bit shorter in length. if there was a market for pine twig kindling I could make a killing! lol... it drops daily in my yard, 12 big pine trees! but imo... dry split cedar fence slats made into kindling is about the best I have found to date. I keep some cedar kindling 1" or so off a chunk... to spike up a fire if it shows signs of cooling. sometimes that happens. the cedar is like a shot of nitrous... :D

plenty of work ahead...

on my newly scrounged and serviced Mac tool cart... great lil mobile kindling bench...

Pictures won't do this justice but it's an absolute pile of wood.

I've already given my daughter the bad news that in a week she gets to help me stack it on her two week long spring break. :)

It won't be until summer or so but I'll be cutting this eventually.

Lotta good firewood in this tree. Underrated wood. Doesn't coal up as well as oak but otherwise it's right there.

I'm sitting pretty now. Eventually get it all bought up to the house. Get back to being well ahead and working on extra at my leisure.
