Let’s talk about firewood

[MTTW]

I have got 3 loads the last couple of weeks and have 3 or 4 to go.

Here is the snatch block set up that I use.

Expecting a cold winter?

 

[SFC B]

When I was home in June I had to cut up a couple of cherry trees that blew over in a storm. I'll be going back for a bit in Sep and will split that up. Also, the guy we bought the house from left a wood pile and I will split that up into much more usable stuff. A splitter is on my short list of "things to get" as once we move into the cabin I will be heating as much as possible with the wood stove center stack......just to cheap to not do it that way. I split the stuff here in CO with a Fiskars splitting axe and love it. Put a bunch of round in an old tire and whack away.

Always cold. Logging truck should be 2+ years of wood for the house. Stack will look like this.

Work smarter not harder!

I like to do it when it’s cold the most.

Need to tighten that chain just a little bit.

We have a half dead tree we’re having removed in a couple of weeks. I’ll have some really expensive walnut to burn in the wall tent.

Firewood is a lifestyle choice now. We live in a cabin setting and prefer the fireplace to heat the house. Younger life firewood was my cheapest option to heat my house.


Be a man!

Find some one with a little saw mill and make some boards.

I’ve had access to a ton of dead walnut over the years. I was never real impressed with how it burnt. Real oily and sooty

Walnut wood contains a natural chemical called juglone, which can irritate sensitive airways. Most of it is killed in the heat of a fire but not all. Be careful in a wall tent and handling the ash.

Logs have been chopped. Crew is recovering rest of the day. Split/stack starts tomorrow after work but we’re slow. It’ll take a while to get all of it split.
