That's pretty much all I've been burning the last few years. Every ash around here is dead. I did find one live one, and that is at my deer camp. It is the only ash around and I see no bug holes in it. It might make it.

Well, it has been awhile since I've been on this site but I will update on this wood. I split it and stacked it and let it dry for a year and seven months. I went out to the stacks during the first week of November to check it out. I have been hunting a new deer camp area with 44 acres of...

Funny this post popped up. My neighbor is removing a bunch of wood from his father's place. Trailers full! He sent me a picture and asked me if I wanted a load. I had to refuse. I do not care for Siberian in my stove. I have been burning it in my campfire pit and make sure I don't get...

Just for the record I split the wood at my house, tossed it in the trailer and backed it up behind the garden. It never saw the road and I wouldn't load it that heavy if I was going down the road! LOL It was my deer hunting pop up but one year the mice got into it and I never could get the...

Over the winter I burned my garden fence for heat. It had hit the correct time in the seasoning cycle so in the stove it went. Now I needed to replace it. I just happened to have some maple and ash laying around. So I spent some time splitting and stacking. Voila'...new garden fence...

When the tire blew out I wasn't surprised. I've been riding around on that old thing for a long time. I had my spare and had it changed out in less than 10 minutes. I always take the 4-way and jack with me when I use the trailer. Getting stuck in the yard was the worst. I am really picky...

Damn! Not what I thought. LOL Free Hoes! http://lansing.craigslist.org/grd/4402904351.html

My friend from work asked me if I wanted to pick up some free wood today so I said sure. A lady whose property he hunts on had a tree cut and the guys tree company cut it all into firewood length. I think it is a sugar maple and I loaded my truck and trailer pretty full. It rained the entire...

Sweet deal. With that much you can probably take just the primo stuff and leave the little 4" sticks

Yeah I guess your stacks took a hit. I had only planned to burn a specific amount of wood this year and the last of which was going to be my "garden fence" I have the last 6 arm loads of the fence in the garage right now. I'll be close but I will have to raid some of the next heat season's...

Not sure why they died. Spidey's reasoning is probably my best guess although I don't remember when I pruned them. It was over a three year period. It used to be one solid fence row of debris, brambles, poison ivy and other greenery. I didn't prune that much off the trees but I did do a lot...

I like the Red elm, don't care for splitting the American elm and I have a whole lotta Siberians to cut this spring that died on the back line of my yard. Those are yuck. I'm only going to split them for shoulder wood. It stinks but better than going to waste I guess. Siberians are just...

I have about 50 lbs of venison to turn into snak sticks and trail bologna but the weather was so damn stupid all winter I decided to wait until it "warmed'' up. I custom built my own smoker. It is a big one. 5 feet tall and 30" inside width. I used an old propane stove out of a pop up camper...

I agree with above. CSS Move to a wood shed after a few years and it will last a very long time!

Sorry for your loss! You are in my thoughts!

I don't see what any of this has to do with Catholicism! Or....is that Popeing? Here is my serious question on this subject. It seems like the sap that is removed from the tree would be necessary for the health of the tree. I would think the tree would need that to help "burst" into life come...

Couple pieces of Cherry and a chunk of silver maple. Won't need anymore for awhile. Not that cold out at 11 degrees. LOL

If he has a zero clearance type fireplace then he will be looking at the cost of installing a new chimney as well. Will he be able to have stacks of wood "laying" around the yard in his neighborhood? I'm glad I live out in the country!

Couple bags of Kingsford is all thats around here! Smells great outside though....sorta makes me hungry!

I really hope next winter is better than this one. This was my first year with this stove and I have to judge usage for next season on this one. So I need a forest and a half to get through next year. LOL Yeah Spidey it is a huge difference for me to except my temp swings are a bit...
