A while ago someone posted about burning the creosote that they clean out of there chimney. I didn't bother to find the thread right now but I remember after everyone commented the guy said he was going to throw it out because he was too nervous to try it. Well tonight I said screw it and tried...

Just saw this article on Google. Apparently the police value one tree at over $100k and jail time! https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2022/01/duo-charged-in-theft-of-28000-black-walnut-tree-one-of-states-largest-from-metroparks-in-strongsville.html?outputType=amp

So I got this handy little saw given to me. I want to order a carb or carb kit for it but need to know the year. Anybody able to help with that from this picture of the only decal on it? Thanks in advance

So I was given this little saw by my grandfather a couple months ago and just finally decided to try it out yesterday. When I got it I drained the wee bit of gas out of it, added a bit of fresh and fired it up and cut a couple small limbs with it. After that I drained all gas, fired it up, ran...

Can you believe I did this to this much highly valuable black walnut? :omg: Actually a guy I know had 3 cut out of his yard and these are the tops. He said if I didn't want it he was going to simply push it in a pile and burn it so since it was only about 3 miles from home I grabbed it.

Went to an auction today not planning to buy anything. Ended up running home to get a trailer. Found these 2 woodstoves and couldn't pass them up as the old suburban in the garage is pretty much whooped. The rusty one on the trailer says baker on both front doors and has an 8" flue. Paid $10...

So while at work today eating my lunch I was reading Sirbuildalot's thread titled morning firewood adventure and thinking about how nice it is outside and how I should be home splitting wood today. When I got to the part where he talks about losing the log and it taking off down the road...

So I put a Johnson energy systems wood furnace in my basement over 10 yrs ago. So far I have been lucky in that I have not had an extended power outage during usage except once and I was home at the time so it was no biggie to get out the generator for a few hours. I have been thinking about a...

Vine is growing on cherry tree that fell from woods into yard in last weeks storm. Thought maybe poison but ruled it out. Research is saying it is Virginia creeper. Can anyone verify?

Cherry tree that has been leaning over back yard from woods for years snapped the other night in a storm. I know it isn't poison ivy but could this be poison oak? If not, anybody know what it is? Vines go clear to top and are covered in like a bark, have no little hairs growing out like poison...

I can tell it is getting warm b/c in middle of winter if I go away and come home and fire went out I won't even bother to relight if not below 30. Been so warm haven't had a fire in 2 wks but got home from work today and was 42 outside and I lit the fire! Funny how your mindset changes with...

I want to know if anybody makes an alarm for when power goes off at your house. I put wood furnace in basement 10 yrs ago and knock on wood have only lost power in house once or twice since but got to thinking about this the other day. Say its middle of January 2 am -10 degrees and blowing...

Where do you guys store your splitter when not in use. Mine sits outside with a rubbermaid tote strapped over the engine. I could put it in one of the garages but it would take up a lot of space and seems like it would always be in the way. Only part that stinks is when you want to split in...

I know this has been discussed in the past but most are really old threads so I figured I would bring it up again. Last I used splitter was around Thanksgiving and everything was fine. Fired it up Tuesday night and it was so slow it was unbelievable. Homemade splitter with 6 horse HF motor, 4”...

Wood furnace limit switch I read all the time, don’t post much but am looking to see if anybody has any ideas. Put in wood furnace about 9 years ago. Had to replace limit switch that controls power to blower about a month ago because it was not shutting off. It would come on fine but would...

Ok so after about 10 years of burning wood and always borrowing a splitter I am looking to get my own. What I need to know is if anyone has any experience with the 22 ton that TSC sells. I have seen quite a few advertised and have a chance to get one 2 yrs old with very little use at a good...

Quaking Aspen that is. Been buring some super dried quake with some red oak, quake for a while, then add the oak to actually make some heat!

So my poulan pro weedwhacker with straightshaft I believe it's a 335. Will run great for about 10 minutes then loses power slowly and begins to bog and then finally dies. I haven't taken time to tear anything down yet just wandering if anyone might have any suggestions on where to look. I know...

So yesterday I was at a Reconditioned tool store and they had Ryobi C4618 saws on sale for $62.00. I picked one up figuring at that price it would be a good loaner saw that I wouldn't care much about and might come in nice for some light limbing work. Gas and oil today and fired it up. Went...

Any of you guys ever cut railroad ties with your saws. I have a couple I need to but wasn't sure if it would do any damage to anything with all the creosote and such in them. Really don't want to use the sawzall as that would take forever. Just looking for some input before I whackem.
