My new cutting place for a bit

[jrider]

My brother works on a blueberry and cranberry farm 5 miles away. They are always taking down trees it seems which is good for me. Usually I have acces to equipment such as excavators and dump trucks to make easy work of getting wood home but not this time. I have a couple weeks to cut and haul the wood out from this pile. The first pic is roughly 12 cords of oak. The second pic is the pine which will most likely get dumped in the woods.

Nice score, I'm jelly
Can you just mix the pine in here and there? Got an outdoor fire pit?

Have any camp grounds near? Split and sell to campers. Pine is great for campers, they love to hear the pops and watch the sparks.

Probably not going to touch the pine

With that stack of oak and limited time, I can see why.

Too bad it's not anywhere me, as I'd take all the pine I could get. It burns fine as long as it's seasoned(just like anything else...).

Pine and spruce here sell for close to the same price as oak. Mind boggling

Around here burning pine will cause your house to burn down

Huge misconception of the same around here too. Most everyone has no clue how to properly season wood or burn properly. Pile that on top of lots of old cracked up masonry chimneys and fireplaces that only get used on special occasions and the fear is amplified. I burn lots of evergreen varieties. They season fast and light easy. Great for quick heat and fast lighting restarts. I just don't tell people that I burn it anymore to keep the arguments at bay

My neighbor saw a few pine logs in my wood pile and almost begged me not to burn it. He thought it was certain death for my family and I as soon as the log crested the stove door. That was 3 years ago

I burned a lot of ponderosa pine when I lived in Wyoming(not a lot of other options). Season it like any other species and it's just fine. Sole source of heat for years and got along great.
