Let’s talk about firewood

[Shangobango]

Red Oak, Ash and White Oak, with just a bit of Pecan here in the tropics for me. On a year where we have a proper winter I go through a little less than a chord. Last 2 years combined I used a chord. I will buy some oak this summer to supplement the Pecan and Ash that I get off my place.

Stoves? Nah. 2nd best thing after a smoker. Coyotes are out in force tonight!

I burn all 50+ year, standing dead, lodge pole pine mixed with some cedar. Endless, easy supply and it’s fun to split. Go through 4-5 chords/year.
Heats the whole house.

Meh…

I will care when it doesn’t go down I80 or by open rail car to a mill out of state. Where it will sit in a huge pile waiting to be processed. Cut offs will be sold as scrap wood or fire wood. Oh and now it’s local from the mill. Maybe that doesn’t happen much there but it sure does here.

Hell, It was put on a log truck in Oregon and ship it to Ohio to build an ark. People only care when you call it firewood.

Who the phuck gets firewood that goes down I 80!?!

Pretty sure most regs are talking about firewood you harvest on your own.

Even providers around here get their wood locally so not sure about wood coming from out of states.

Just check the regs, don’t be a jackass, and don’t spread invasives.

Plain and simple.

I break a sweat at least 3x with firewood.
Still chop it. tho the neighbor came over w/ a splitter the other
day and made quick work of a stack. Chopping is sanity maintenance for me
