It burns hot but fast. I burn it in the boiler at the cabin when I am home all day as you get 1/3 to 1/2 max burn time compared to hardwoods. I also use it almost exclusively in the fire pit to save the better wood for the boiler and sauna stove.
You guys must be wood rich to be able to burn wood in an outdoor firepit .

My place has a lot of pine. When they blow over or die they get used for the outside fire. Im always looking for more wood for the house.

G'day Dan, I can see the third one but just subtractions for the others. What's all that about?
Pics were working earlier. Now they are not. I think it is Russian hacking . . . .

Scrounging up receipts for my taxes tonight. Every deductible receipt goes into a drawer, the drawer goes into a box on January 1st, and once I get the motivation I get to classify all of the receipts and add everything up.
I can say I would rather split wood but at least the tax return helps. Or should say hopefully a return.

The older google G+ worked good enough , my phone will backup to google photos , I shared them to G+ , linked the pic and presto , they updated G+
I'm gonna have to find a new photo host unless I can find someone that speaks google .
I could upload to the site but then it would take me longer plus a few more steps and when you upload to a site you loose control of the pic.
Well I can deduct a few things to maintain my rental property anyhow.
if you want i can send you the name of my computer tech.The older google G+ worked good enough , my phone will backup to google photos , I shared them to G+ , linked the pic and presto , they updated G+

It feels that way sometimes but you get used to it. The meat ants are good for picking termites out of wood though and their bites don't cause the sort of allergic reaction that other ants do (to me at least). I was splitting maybe 15 feet from the nest and chucking the termitey bits onto the nest and they're all over it and cleaned the termites off and out of the wood quick smart. The only problem was getting the wood back. Long pants and boots, run over, chuck a few bits away from the nest before they found me then run away before they get hold of me. Stack a few bits then go back and do it again. Even though in theory cut and split wood with termites in it doesn't lead to termites in your house, I still prefer to have as few termites as possible in my firewood and the meat ants are great for cleaning it up.
Last year I was looking for crickets to catch a few trout with and thought I'd have a look under the kayak which was lying next to the house. No crickets but there was a big tiger snake coiled up underneath it and next to the path along the side of the house where the kids would run around. After I dispatched it with a shovel in one hand while holding the end of the kayak up with the other I looked down at my bare feet and legs and realised that wasn't such a bright move. Still, lived to scrounge another day.
I went to rehab till the insurance started squawking. That was about 6 months, they said I wouldn't make any more gains after 6 months.Then I started going to the health club. The owner set me on a new routine. In two weeks I went from 23 degrees extension to 5. I'm still making progress after a year.
Getting old sucks! I put an hour and a half on the Fiskars, and this is all I got done, Joe.
Don't feel bad. This was my afternoon's work.
