    Used Homemade Logsplitter....Pricing ?

    Hello again...I live in the city and only burn maybe 4-5 facecords of wood per winter in my older fireplace. Next year I am hoping to replace it to a Woodstove. Anyways....I have always liked splitting wood by hand with my x27. I also have an old Ryobi 4 ton splitter I found on CL for $100...

    is hard maple really that great?

    I have some maple I scrounged back in Spring 2013.....I am very familiar with what Silver, Red, and Norway Maple look like but I still am not sure what kind this is. I did burn a few pieces of it last winter and it seemed to coal up pretty good. It is 1.5 years seasoned now but is there any way...

    What kind of tree is it ????

    I found a small amount of honey locust back in September 2011....It was thornless also. Still stacked up, was gonna burn it this year but been finding a lot of softer silver maple over the last couple years and would rather use it up as the honey locust shows no sign of rotting.....will use it...

    Any opinions on 5 ton Electric log splitters

    I only burn about 5 Facecords (1-2/3 full cords) every winter and cant justify spending a lot on a gas splitter so 2 years ago I found a guy selling the 4 ton Ryobi splitter on craigslist for $100. I went to look at it, a little beaten up but said Why Not and brought it home. It is perfect on...

    Ash door ?

    I have an old inefficient fireplace which next summer hope to replace with a wood stove. I am having it swept out next week. Over the years.....I've wondered what the little door is on the outside of my house is.....and how do ashes collect there ? I've added 2 pictures, 1 of the rear view of...

    Drying

    I was a tarp on top cover guy until about 1.5 months ago......I removed just about all of my covers then...I noticed the top 2-3 layers under the tarp didn't season much over the previous 6-8 months.....after 1.5 months now....I notice a big difference. We have had a good share of rain over the...

    Looking at new Wood Stoves.....

    I'm been thinking this will be my last winter using my Old inefficient Ugly Fireplace. I am hoping to remove it sometime next year and get a Wood Stove Installed. I have a Cape Cod style house here with about 1300 sq ft. I don't need the best and don't want to spend a fortune, but I do want...

    Junk Wood.......

    Thanks guys, I called it Junk wood because from what I read on multiple sites. It is all split and stacked off the ground.......I am guessing fall/early winter of 2015-2016,if it doesn't rot before then.....................

    Junk Wood.......

    I picked up a small load of wood a couple weeks ago. Being the unknowledgeable wood IDer I am.....I didn't know what it was but brought home some of it anyways. The trunk was 5'+ diameter and they had it cut into chunks about 18" wide by about 16-18 " long. These chunks were heavy......I tried...

    Getting a jump on 2016-17's heat

    Awesome....some questions for you.....I see you put 2 rows per rack....how much airflow between those stacks ? Will you leave them uncovered until they are burned in 2016 including throughout the winters ? And what type of rods pole, etc. do you use at the top to keep the uprights from leaning ...

    Why is Rock Elm so good ?

    I appreciate the information....always willing to learn new things. So I take it you do not cover your stacks ? I know that topic has been discussed on here many times. I know I have good air circulation here......but maybe its time I start uncovering all my stacks.(maybe except for...

    Why is Rock Elm so good ?

    Is the mold or mildew the dark on the ends ? It seems a lot of my wood gets dark on the ends after it sits split and stacked for awhile. I don't have a wood shed, I normally just stack and put a metal cover over it or leave it be in the sun. The only time it would get wet is when it rains.

    Why is Rock Elm so good ?

    ok guys, here are some pictures. stuff was very stringy when green....so I let it sit for a good month, and it split easier.

    Why is Rock Elm so good ?

    Thanks guys, here is the post I made last year while finding this wood. Although the pictures are no longer in the post.... if you read the comments........a lot of the responses seemed to think it was elm also. I will post some pictures tomorrow of a couple of the splits that are stacked...

    Why is Rock Elm so good ?

    What makes Rock Elm such great firewood. I split a small amount (1/2 Facecord) last summer and now it is very light in weight ? Wouldn't more dense woods be better ? Just curious..........
