    Cord prices falling like dominoes...

    Wow that's pretty low! How big is your place? What I meant by efficient was that they are regular electric furnace (upstairs and downstairs units) and aren't heat pumps or anything that is more energy saving/efficient. Our place is a two story 2600 sq ft brick home, no basement. We live in...

    Cord prices falling like dominoes...

    Gotcha. Mine is .083 center per kWh and I metered our usage for a week and it came to be about $60-$70 per week to run out electric heat, that being that much more than running the ac in the summer. Our bill is normally around $170 and it was $220 with the last week heating with electric (and...

    Cord prices falling like dominoes...

    We have electric heat but it's not very efficient. For that reason we burn wood for heat and I collect locally and process my own firewood. If I was paying $250-350 / cord that would cost me more than running my electric heat. Sucks that people are having to drop prices I suppose but I'm not...

    How many times do you handle your wood.

    1. Cut logs and load to trailer (I don't fell any trees) 2. Unload to split pile 3. Pickup to split into trailer 4. Move from trailer to woodpile 5. Move from woodpile to inside as needed 6. Load from inside into stove Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wood splitting debate. Maul vs splitter

    I think the situation you are In also plays a part. I'm only about 3 years into splitting and because of what I have access to wood wise, splitting by hand is not nearly as effective. Our city/county cleanup drops off trees and such at a local dump spot and a few of us in the area grab from...

    Brother found another tree like it nearby that's still standing/alive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ID this wood?

    Oh it did stink when I split it. Smelled like something curled up and died inside the tree. Then the tree ate it and fed it to the rest of the tree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ID this wood for my brother!

    Brother called me today saying this wood he had is really dry but super hard to split. He does it by hand and is fairly capable of splitting by hand without any problems so I believe him when he said it's really hard to get through. Not sure of the leaf at all. I think he said it was a dead...

    It pains me to watch...

    Where I agree with the OP, some of us have to do what we have to do. I bought our house in June of 2013. That fall ended up burning wood because the electric was so expensive to heat in the new house. Of course I wasn't prepared and ended up finding any wood i could and burning it asap...

    Recommendation for Splitter...max 20 cord/yr

    well I know it's not the same exact unit, but the technology is the same it seems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ID this wood?

    Hmm i don't remember it having a smell. Thanks for the heads up with it. I notice a piece I cut was really soft and almost seemed like it was sawdust inside. It was towards the base and I figured it was just rot. It liked like part of the tree was dying and it ended up splitting and falling over...

    DR Rapidfire K22 review (22 ton)

    Hey all, Just got this last weekend and gave it a run Saturday and Sunday. My first impression was that it might not be strong enough but after using it and getting the hang of it, it seems to work really well...and fast! I don't have access to much good wood, so I ended up splitting about 1.5...

    Anyone have a DR Rapidfire? Seems it's the same as the supersplitter but they have a cheaper 22ton option for $1199 and free shipping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ID this wood?

    Someone left this at the wood dump. The leaves were somewhat elongated/pointy, not like maple leaves or anything wide like that. I tried to google some logs with bright red rings/circles but didn't come up with much. I thought maybe box elder but it doesn't quite match it perfectly? Or...

    harbor freight log splitter

    They are back ordered right now. I placed an order over a week ago and yet emailed today saying it was back ordered. I called and asked how long and they said maybe 2-3 weeks, plus 1-2 weeks to ship to me, so I'm probably looking at closet to August before I can post some videos for people to...

    There is a 25% off for online orders but i could only find 20% off In store. The guy told me the 20ton log splitter is online only if you want to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    harbor freight log splitter

    I've bought several tools and smaller things from them but never any power equipment. Seems they are all built relatively the same so even if I have to replace something on it I should be able to mix/match parts. For $500 I don't see how it could be that bad, even if it's just a base to build...
