    Has any body else watch "outdoors with morgans" on you tube

    I saw that one. If he just makes use of the tractor and isn't afraid to give negative feedback when and where it is warranted I don't have an issue with RK trying to get their name out there through him. If he has nothing but high praise for the tractor or any other equipment he may receive in...

    The Fire Pit Thread

    Three or four pieces from the dry stack to get it going and now burning off the odds, ends, and little pieces that come from bucking.

    Has any body else watch "outdoors with morgans" on you tube

    He's said he bucks and sometimes splits on site and just leaves the ugly pieces in the woods. Personally I enjoy his videos, I just home he doesn't become the next Wranglerstar trying to shill products for sponsors while pretending it's real life reviews.

    The Fire Pit Thread

    I'm a structural firefighter. Those wildland guys are absolutely insane. They go out to fight thousands of acres of wildfire with a giant backpack, a granola bar, and a weird looking shovel. No thanks, I'll keep my Engine, hose, and hydrant thank you!

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Well now you've got me curious about the lawsuit. And I'm imagining your neighbor waking up one morning and noticing all his trees are gone while your firewood piles have substantially grown!

    Just Released: Estwing Premium Work Gloves!

    As other's have said, my issue has never been the material, it's always splitting at the seams. Frustrating for me as I have soft and girly hands for some reason so gloves are important

    The Fire Pit Thread

    Didn't know this thread was a thing. I've got a pit next to my splitting area. Since I don't have an OWB or anything, all the not-so-pretty pieces and trimmed chunks end up in the pit. I'll have to snag a picture the next time I've got it going. Here she is in all her glory when not burning...

    Just Released: Estwing Premium Work Gloves!

    Let us know in a month how these hold up. For some reason every single pair of gloves I've used for firewood always end up splitting open at the tip of my middle finger on the right hand. I've tried the discount gloves from the bargain bin and the leather mechanix ones plus most stuff in...

    Firewood co-op?

    It just amazed me. The one kid on his own just kept working and working. The two of them together moved maybe 3 dozen splits before taking a break

    Firewood co-op?

    I was out working in my woodpile and a neighborhood kid offered a hand in exchange for some pocket money. I gave him a quick lesson in stacking then ran the splitter as he stacked. Felt like it cut the workload to about 1/3 of the original. Next day I was out working again and the same kid came...

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Well now I have a reason to try and get my old lawn tractor up and running. Somehow I never thought of using it to pull wood around. I wonder if I could somehow disconnect the cutting deck and use the shaft to power something more useful...

    I find the best way to prevent rot is to apply liberal amounts of fire.

    Think of pulling the trigger on a new splitter

    That doesn't look terrible. I'd suggest either getting some jack stands or a friend to help hold things in position while you tighten bolts to make life easier.

    Think of pulling the trigger on a new splitter

    I was looking at DHT splitters and they have a youtube channel including a video showing setup of one of their splitters. It's not the 35 ton model but I can't imagine they're too different. You would need a few basic hand tools and maybe 30-60 minutes if you work slowly.

    Yeah, I just hate it when my firewood is too dry

    Hopefully it's a simple sprain and she recovers quickly!

    @rarefish383 Send some of that oak down my way please! I'm jealous.

    I don't mind the snakes. My wife hates them. The cats seem to enjoy the challenge.

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    My cats help keep the woodpiles free of various small critters like mice and snakes so I say they're an important part of the scrounging process.
