I run a Jotul Oslo that is 4 years old with the clean burn. I find that running it hot and making sure the wood doesnt touch the glass or get super close helps keep it clean. It doesnt stay perfect mind you, but I may clean it once every couple of weeks and its mostly due to ash buidup on the...

Yup, state is getting quiet again! The tourists are appreciated for the revenue, but Post-colombus day everything slows down and it gets nice.

Thanks man! Im still at it, i just havent been that great at posting. Photobucket got weird and i could still manage to get pictures hosted but lately it has become a bit of a hassle. Ill have to figure out a better photo hosting site and try to get some updates up. Im still at it with the same...

I just got into Red Oak and Maple that was split, stacked and top covered for just over two years. It sizzles and is a bastard to light, but once the stove is warm, minimal problems. I ideally want to go 3 years on green cut to minimize this, but right now i am behind. This summer will be spent...

Ive been working a lot of dead and down red oak. As others said, Bark and Sapwood will go to hell quick, but heartwood seems to last quite a while. It burns amazing though. As far as the punk, let what falls off during processing fall off, then stack and keep the top covered out of the weather...

Ours is fired up as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally lit. Had a awful storm come through, no power, restoration is expected to take a week in some places. I’m hoping for sooner, but it was cold this morning and I figured why not fire up the stove! Got some 2.5 yr old maple and it’s just pumping out the heat. Happy Halloween to you...

Finally loaded out the porch. It’s getting colder here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back at it with stuff a little less grand is scale :lol: power company took down a standing dead maple. Got some wood, but unfortunately it was core-rotted about 15-18 ft up so it wasnt much. Got it split one day, then cracked a beer and went to stacking. Ripped out the temporary gardens...

Woke up to 34 degrees this morning! that hurt as I have no heat on, no wood on the porch, and just not ready in general. Looks like this weekend will be spent loading out racks, taking a look in the chimney and getting prepped. Should be a little warmer this weekend, but the cold is coming.

A little bit of a sidetrack. I was out in San Francisco this weekend for a friend's wedding. afterward we hit up the tourist spots. Alcatraz was impressive but I think my favorite visit was Muir Woods! The sights and sheer scale of the Redwoods is something to be seen. Wife and I spent about a...

Did a bit more work today. Took down a red oak for processing. In my normal fashion, got it stuck. luckily, i was able to use the tractor and pull it down. A small black birch was in the way, the tractor ripped it out of the ground with ease. A shot showing the hooks i welded onto the...

Hello friends, Its been pretty quiet on the maine front. Not a ton of work getting done due to it either raining or being 95 degrees. Ill try to catch you up on the little stuff that has happened. First things first, I knocked out some of my welding projects that I had put off. Added mesh to...

My MIL has one of those, beautiful dogs. Hers thinks he is a 15 lb lap dog.

Thanks for the info! and i have to agree, hard name to market. I went out and grabbed a bit more. three dead ash, two standing, one down all small. Got quite the bucket-ful out of it.. I had been out cutting, so the bush hog was still on. It carried the last three pieces and the saw and...

Haha, so the stacked stuff is sugar maple, their are a few birch splits in the loose pile in front, though it's mixed with oak and maple. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More pictures??? More pictures!!! I was perusing the tractor forum and saw a lot of people recommend a wheel spinner to help with backing up tractors. I got one off ebay and I have to say, I love it! helps you find center quite easily Since I had the tractor out, i decided I should go and...

Thank you very much! I try to always work and earn my keep. Its very fulfilling.

Hello all! It has been quite a while since I've posted. Not too much going on as it has been rain non-stop for at least a month. With the ground drying out, we got to some more homeowner projects. First on the list was to put in a garden bed on the front of the house. Edge done with the...
