Charity Firewood Cutting for Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County WI

[WetGunPowder]

Shook down the processor last Sunday with the help of Gingrsnap, Grandpa Tractor, and Mikey. Still some learning to do but the 85 degree heat didn't slow us down! going to try to get there again on Sept 13th. I know it's the start of the NFL season and the Packer/Vikings game. I personally have no interest in professional sports this year no matter what sport it is..........

Wish I was closer, would be an honor to help out.

Here are a few pics from the maiden use of the processor up at Denny's. It was amazing to see what it could do in 5 work hours!

Heading back to "work the woodpile" again this Sunday Sept 13th. Breakfast at the new Rude's Cafe at 0700!

That is really cool, what y'all are doing. And that processor looks pretty boss!

Looks like the rain will be moving out this afternoon. Weather looks great for tomorrow!

Awesome day to work the woodpile! With one crew at the processor and one crew cutting and splitting the larger logs we put a huge dent in the log pile! I didn't get many pictures-hopefully Grizz has a few to post.

Did get a few pictures from yesterday. Even with no bucking stand still got a lot of wood cut and split.







And quite a bit of sawdust off the processor too.

Thanks for the pics Grizz. Plans are to "work the woodpile" again on Sept. 27th. My goal is to get everything cut and split that's on the west side of the driveway before the snow season hits-if we can get a crew together and run the cutting stand and the processor at the same time we should be able to knock out the pile closest to the driveway!

Forecast calls for highs in the low 60's for Sunday! Should be a beautiful day to help this great charity!!

 

[WetGunPowder]

Had a great turn out and between the cutting stand and the processor we knocked out between 30-35 cord! Plan is to hit it again this Sunday Oct 11th with the primary goal of removing all the standing oaks that have died from oak wilt. Will have both skidsteers and a mini excavator to dig out the stumps. Hope to run the processor while tree removal is going on. Breakfast in Siren at 0700-starting in the woods around 8.

Pictures from yesterday. Even with a smaller crew a lot was accomplished.

Couple more, can't forget about the good food we always have. And the results from the days work. We were guessing around 20-25 cord cut and split.

Thanks for the Very nice pictures and wow the food looks great !

Thanks for posting the pics Grizz! The landscape around the woodyard sure has changed over the last 10 years! Probably 2-3 cord left to process from the trees that were taken down the back into the log pile! Shooting for Nov 1 to hit it again-hopefully with JD back in the normal routine! He starts his new job back home on Nov 1.

JD is going to work for a truck and heavy equipment repair shop in Rock Creek MN . Straight west of Grantsburg .

We have been blessed (for some cursed) with a fair amount of snow here the last few days. Plans are to hit the woodpile again on Nov 1. If we can get a big enough crew together to run both the processor AND the cutting stand we can knock out another 30-35 cord before winter!
