    What causes this?

    May want to save those rounds. Advertise them on craigslist/eBay. They may fetch a good dollar to the right person. If you get more and want to market it ,I'd leave it in longer lengths. If there was one red maple in that area like that there will be more.

    What causes this?

    That is wormy red maple. What loggers and millers call it. Woodworkers refer to it as Ambrosia Maple so as not to detract from selling points by calling it "wormy red maple".

    Trailer for tractor and Logs

    Anyone considering rollers might want to use 4" or bigger pipe and run a chain through the pipe and bind to trailer to limit movement. Unless said logs are bundled/bound together well on both ends i can see how they may jackstraw and catch on the end of trailer or slide sideways and rip fenders...

    Trailer for tractor and Logs

    I had a similar situation a couple of years ago but it wasnt wood.Here's what I did and it works great. Measure from outside of fender to outside of fender and the height of your fender. Either scrounge up some pine logs to take to a mill or just go to a sawmill and have them cut some big...

    Coal question

    I put mine in a walmart bag and put on top of 2 or 3 layers of wood in my furnace. By the time the wood is burned up the coal dust is glued together in a blob that won't go through grates and eventually burns up.

    Can't blow heat down? What?

    Total hawgwash! I have a Woodchuck 526. 2 main duct runs off the plenum in a tri-level house. One goes down 5' right off the plenum , the other goes up 3 foot . The one that goes down is a 30' run before it ties into the main line. NO issues what so ever. Install was about 9 years ago...

    Burning Tires?

    I agree. I have come here 4 years because most think outside the box where as other "lists" seem to be coastally challenged in a box. Butt wading through the plethora of one line self gratifying and non-amussing to me post count growth hormones has had little reward lately. The heard needs to...

    Soaking firewood in old used motor oil?

    I have been running the mix in all of my diesel equipment for about 5 years with absolutely NO problems.I instantly gained 20% better fuel mileage in a Cat 3406E along with improved power and performance.I researched the hell out of this before I went ahead with it as a Cat 3406E cost about...

    Soaking firewood in old used motor oil?

    I'm no master mechanic but I'll throw some food for thought out there and a little common sense. My big diesel engines run at 190 -200F in the summer and 100-140F winter. I'm guessing internal combustion temps are quite a bit higher. How much I don't know but surely not that of an EPA cat stove...

    Soaking firewood in old used motor oil?

    Get on EPA site and search , "mixing used oil with diesel ". The EPA actually recommends it especially when other disposal options are unavailable. For some reason it wont let me copy/paste the article. More info. http://www.ehow.com/how_7609493_dispose-waste-oil-blending Google "Waste Oil...

    Soaking firewood in old used motor oil?

    http://www.epa.gov/ttnchie1/ap42/ch01/final/c01s11.pdf Another EPA file I found that I couldn't copy/paste determined it's A-OK to burn in diesel engines. If the EPA approves of it I say do it.

    Soaking firewood in old used motor oil?

    Tried posting a link to EPA article but didn't work. It states that it is OK to burn used oil in burners up to 500,000 BTU and mixed with diesel in engines as long as the oil was self generated with no adverse environmental effects. As for wood stoves , who knows. Wish I could copy/paste the...

    Neighbor Complaining??

    You'd be a breath of fresh air in my neighborhood. We'd get along just fine. I haven't talked to any of my neighbors in at least 3 years except the old couple (they look out for me so I look out for them and the others can pound mouse turds)on the otherside of me from the ####### and I like...

    Neighbor Complaining??

    It's been 15 years or so since I went through my ordeal but I believe my attorney told me that a towns laws have to be approved by a higher power. County or state. Can't remember. My town never went through the process. Just typed some laws out and tried to enforce them. He told me at the time...

    Neighbor Complaining??

    I don't really know all the minute details of the OP's situation but this lady running her mouth with empty threats wreaks of white trash. Don't threaten to call whoever just do it. I've lived at my current residence for 19 years. My neighbor gave me grief and called every local and state dept...

    Neighbor Complaining??

    Hehehehe , if you knew what I went through with my towns zoning which ended up involving an attorney it wood blow your mind. Needless to say I ended up doing what I wanted on my property after the attorney got involved. Just because the town put a law on paper don't mean it's enforcable. Small...

    Neighbor Complaining??

    I woodn't worry about it.Don't put up a wood for sale sign and no one can prove your doing anything. If you live in a small town in certain cases the zoning laws aren't enforcable anyway. I'd start taking pics of all the outlaw stuff her kids are doin and put them on a disc. Then when she...
