I'm ready. Just have to finish putting in the firewood.


I split some pine last night. Every time I do anything firewood related it's usually 112 degrees out. Sure does get me thinking of winter.

Bleh, you guys are crazy. Firewood is winter work. No leaves, frozen wood, easy to split, no bugs. Cut in one winter, season it a year (or two.. or three) and burn as needed.


I'm ready to be done with the summer heat, but I don't want to skip over harvest season, Oktoberfest, or Thanksgiving. We're rapidly approaching my favorite time of year :D

That's quite a bit of wood you've got there Marc... how long would that last you if you didn't add any more to the pile?

I assume your fireplace is supplemental to a gas or oil system?

Well... there's about 18 cord there and I burn about 4.5 cord/season in my wood stove (on average). So 3 - 4 years worth. Sold about 3 cord already. That's just from cutting dead fall and dead standing timber and trimming the fencelines of 2 fields last winter. And yeah, my primary source of heat is an oil boiler, supplemented by the wood stove.
