Wow
I got so excited today after getting the mail and found out that ESPN's Great Outdoor Games and the(as always) World Lumberjack Championship will both take place in the great state of Wisconsin(2004) and in the same month (July) that I mixed up some Jim Beam&Caster927 at 16:1.Tasted great too!

When I saw the title of this thread I though you were talking about either Rotax or Gypo.

I cut about 5,000 lbs of ash 2 weeks ago, took the little Super EZ Auto as a back-up saw. I LOVE that little buzzard. Let my Nephew use my 026, he has an 009, and I used some of the old stuff, Super EZ, Jonsered 49SP. First load weighed 2960 lbs in a 3/4 ton truck.

Do you have a portable scale or did the DOT get a hold of you.We burn alot of Ash and Red Elm some Walnut, Oak and maple.We have three wood stoves a big one in the shop and in the house we have one for cooking and one for heat.In the summer it sucks. sweatin balls just cooking a beef pattie.Seth

I sell Birch to the city folk too.

 

[sedanman]

I knew the truck was a little heavy, so I drove to truck stop on the way home. First load put the truck at 9320 pounds on the scale, registered for 8800 pounds. Second load was lighter because I needed room to get the saws in the truck. BTW I'm looking for a little birch to "stage' in the fireplace for summer, looks better than an empty fireplace.

I will box some Birch up and send to you if you pay the shipping. Seth

Burning Ash

I hate to say it, but I think at Ash is very close to Oak as far as heat/length of burn/ and coals. The Emril Ash Bore has killed MILLIONS of Ash trees near my brothers house. The stiff is dry standing and can be cut and split with ease. So needless to say I have been buring a ton of Ash this season.

 

[sedanman]

Seth, I may take you up on that, just not yet. Birch is fairly plentiful near my uncles house. I just have to "find" some. I will buck a few lengths off a fallen tree, I won't take a tree down for the little birch I want.

The ash I have on my land here in CT burns fast and hot compared to the red and white oak.

 

[sedanman]

I only have a fireplace. Ash is easy to get a fire started with and burns without a lot of fuss. Oak, in my opinion, is more trouble than it's worth in a fireplace. My boss has a woodstove in his cabin. Oak is a very different story in a woodstove where you have more control over the draft.

 

[jbrody44]

I agree sedanman, I was speaking of my experience with my wood stove rather than a fireplace. I do see where ash would be easier to burn in an open fireplace.

Ash is a godsend when you ( I ) have failed to stack and season a pile of wood far enough ahead. Ash, hackberry and osage orange have kept my delinquent @ss warm many a winter.

Ash,Hickory,Oak(except piss oak,it will just lay in a fire and hiss),Locust(thick bark off Locust is a great fire starter but does have a odor)Pecan and Maple are woods I liked to burn.Poplar burns a little quick and does'nt put out much heat.

Fireplaces are pretty but you can't beat a wood burning stove for heat.
