Did I hear you right….that you have to bring your trailer of wood to the Wood Nazi Station….so they could confirm your amount and you have to put 20.00 in the Nazi States Hand ? We just pay for a permit and get so may days to cut. I have never been checked for a permit or how much I have cut, but the forestry guys have stopped and chatted several times. They usually just ask if I'm finding wood ok and to be safe. If you don't have private ground to cut on, $20/cord isn't too bad IMO.

Some days I wish we burned wood But then I'm 57 and nah... I'm a transposed 57 ( 75) and have no regrets. Cutting, splitting, hauling, stacking is the most enjoyable exercise a guy could ever hope for. BTW, before any of you start getting smart: The word is transposed; not trans anything else.

Got atv n trailor. Just couldntget within 30 yards. That's where the wheelbarrow came in handy. A good piece of oak trumps a good piece of "ash" nowdays. Hedge!

As I think about it, firewood production on my property is the only enterprise the black bears have not yet disrupted.

I always keep 2 years ahead.
Wood making isn't for the lazy man.
WS I stay 3 years ahead so there is no hurry to cut/split, I can do it at my leisure.

I'm always in the bush,I collect a bit here and there all year long when out doing nuisance beaver fishing,or just going out to camp to kick back.Do some when trapping in winter too-load up a sleigh here and there,or the bike trailer.Some people pre dry their wood here-especially the native people at their fish or hunt camps.They girdle standing trees the year before,then cut the dead dry standing when needed.Standing dead spruce,tamarack etc is great wood to burn here,especially the ones in an old burn-dry and hard with no bark or branches,and light to haul compared to green. Always have wood and it doesnt really seem like any extra work.

Use an old tire to hold your wood vertical when splitting. A sharpened tile spade works great to spud off the bark. Love the wood furnace.

Oak is the best big trees that we have for long burn time. Dogwood burns longer but it stays pretty small. ??, No way dogwood is burns longer then oak. Unless it soaking wet.

Our hottest burning wood is tamarack and birch. I prefer nice dry spruce on cold 40 below nights at camp.Couple big rounds burn all night with good coals for a morning fire.Burning too much tamarack will burn out the stove.Best to mix that with spruce. i think the stove is more important for long burn time for most types of wood,unless you are burning bam or balsam that burns up like paper.I like to mix a bit of poplar in,in the fall when you dont want a real hot fire.
