Do you know what brand you have?

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.

Rite-Burn.

I always put up my firewood a year ahead so it will dry. It's fun watching the neighbors chase firewood all winter.
You would think they would learn.

This year is mostly walnut and some ash. Lots of dead ash near me and the landowner next to me harvested a bunch of walnut leaving me all the leftover tops I want.

I have a lot of ash and locust on my property. Nothing wrong with either one.

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.

Hedge!

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

getting there

I always keep 2 years ahead.

Wood making isn't for the lazy man.

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.

Nice wood burner, marathon.

You pa guys work too fast for me.

thanks

burning 50 yrs,,i wont stop unless i cant do it anymore. Still split all mine by hand. Makes me feel good.

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.

Exactly!
More BTU’s than anything else round these parts!

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.
