I agree the ice on the firewood is not a big deal and although I don’t have a 30lb hammer I normally swing large firewood pcs on the stack which probably is as good. I guess due to some unusual weather this season I got more ice than I normally get and looks like I will have lots of firewood...

Never thought about it but I think you are right. I always buy my firewood semidry from the same vendor and never had any problem before. I used to reserve it by August for October delivery but I forgot about it last August and when I called the vendor last October he was sold out. So I got a...

Here are some photos from the logs. Ice at some places is 1" thick and tonight the temp. will go down to -21C so salt will not work. I take another big log and swinging at the logs by the end and it is like hitting concrete. I have logs inside for about 2 weeks and hopefully by then we might...

Good idea man, I will try to find some. Thanks

As I mentioned I been doing this for 20+ years and never seen wood stuck with ice like I have now, perhaps a combination of crazy weather? Yes I also get the bottom row stuck to the ground every year until the spring and this I understand. Will try to get some pictures tomorrow of Monday but I...

Not very convenient to get someone else to do this work. In any case the salt worked very well and the logs are free now. I will get some tarpaulin to cover the rest since in the next couple of months we normally get a lot of freezing rain + lots of cold which is a recipe for more ice...

They are 16” long logs and yes I want to bring them inside but the top row of the pile is all stuck with thick ice. The salt I put on top looks like it works and perhaps by tomorrow they will be ice free

Thanks Steve for your time Now I can see what it means however I find it unlikely this could happen, logs are soaking wet and cold and I was not planning to heat the log anyway, just enough to melt the ice. However there is a slight possibility for a glowing ember to get going and so it is not...

If I was 10 years younger no questions asked I would have used my axe/sledge hammer, but now I just don’t have the strength for it…….. Since it was not explained why not to use my propane torch, I will not do it that way since I don’t want to take any chance but I just had another “bright...

I always stuck my firewood outside against the garage wall and uncovered, been doing this for 20+ years with no problem (about 6-8 cords per year), but this time for some reason I got this thick ice layer at the top and I can’t break it loose. Was thinking to use a small propane torch I have to...
