Has anyone burned eastern red cedar for heat? If so what was your experiance? I have about 40 acres that I could cut for heat or just pile it up to burn in a pile.

I've burned it & like it better than pine for firewood. Not near as good as Oak!

Mark that is a far sized cedar. It is very aromatic when burned. I second Steve (sawnami). And it Well Easy.

Yes!!! Love it!!!
Cut the logs out of it and I'll come get a dump truck load!!! Great carving and shoulder season firewood!!

Logs of cedar that size should sell easy to saw mills. As stated makes great wood working wood: carving, lathe turning, closet lining, jewelery boxes, cedar chests, ....

I have mentioned this somewhere before, but if burning it, make sure there is no one close by with cedar allergies. The smoke has been known to cause severe reactions.

YEP!!

Heard an explosion down toward the river just 2o minutes ago. YIKES!

We live on top of one of the highest points in Joetown and the sound carries up here very well.

Hope it wasn't a grain dust explosion.

 

[cobey]

hopefully not!

Good morning everybody. TGIF. Any good plans for the weekend? I have a football game, soccer game, and volleyball tournament to attend. Probably helping a friend move into their "new to them" home. Some of you man know him from the Charity Cuts---Paul Shook. Cheers.

 

[CMNRallye79]

Good morning. My exciting weekend will be spent laying rock, I've been building a hearth for our wood stove. This is what I have done so far.

 

[thinkrtinker]

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

I know where you can start your next one Mark.
