Thats pretty good when you can get 50-60 hrs of heat on 1 round.

By weight, there is a full cord in those 2 chunks...
Bout 5000 lbs or better... My loader will lift ~3000 lbs, and the back of the tractor was wanting to buck on both pieces...
Good thing it was 4 wheel drive...:dizzy:
 
Didn't you just buy an awesome monster splitter from iowa? Doe's he know you are noodling large rounds cause you don't trust his splitter. Just sayin.

That thing is for realistic size firewood production...And the log lift will lift anything you ask it to...
One problem...
If it brings a 48" round up and rolls it to you, you gotta be ready to catch it...
Pass...:msp_scared:
I like saws too much anyway...
:msp_wink:
 
Since you guys refused to come stack that previous mess for me...
Why don't someone come stack this stuff instead... Pssshhh...
It don't get much easier...

I offered to stack on shares...didn't hear back, I figured you must have found some imported labor... :msp_biggrin:
 
Yes, real estate is expensive. Labor is not cheap like it used to be years ago.
None of the guys working for me make minimum wage. They are way above that.
Two of them have bought homes while working here.


How much do you sell your firewood for? also where do you get all your wood from if you don't mind me asking?
 
Not too impressive compared to some of the pictures I have seen on here...but this is a mix of some Oak (Live, Water, and White Oaks) that were scraps from Hurricane Isaac we have in the Fall last year here in Louisiana. I use firewood to just relax outside in the backyard by my firepit. It does not get too too cold here in South Louisiana!
 
Here is my firewood processing area ...

To the left two 40-50 cubic meter ridges from previous
winter which one sees the short-ends of ... .

In the middle an older blue former 40-50 cubic meter
ridge which I am now taking wood from and that obvio-
usly is soon extinct ... .

To the right my current wood pile build in progress ... .

(Edit: The white stuff is called SNOW by the way :) .)

Sounds like a good reason to me to burn...nice pics.
 
bwahahahaha! Way back then when I first started cutting (and other work)..I cant tell you the model number of a single saw I used outside of the one I owned. Yep, get off work, hippie girls!!!! Now THOSE I remember the make/model!!!

hehehehe

palbin,

What kind of wood are you cutting there in Sweden? Wood piles look good!

Hedgerow,
What kind of wood that we have around here would you compare that Pecan to. Oak or more like Hickory? I understand people like to use it for smoking meat so maybe Hickory. Is it a hard wood?

Those are some HUGE:rock: PIECES--- lots of firewood in a chunk like that eh!

Similar to Hickory... Stringy and twisted... Splits like crap..

Comercially you sell beech, birch or mixed firewood - the former the
priciest - the latter the cheapest - maximum diameter is 60 cm, other-
wise you get lower price ... . So this is also then more or less what you
can buy ... . People who use fire wood just for "pleasure" tend to have
an overbelief in the goodness of birch - I do not kno why - perhaps be-
cause it lits up easier - beech is heavier and therefore better with hig-
her energy content per volume, also less inclined to rot I belive.

Even better is oak - the really big ones are mostly gone because having
being used for ship builds - and still even better (because heavier) is
hornbeam - used to make spline-wheels for windmills in the old days -
but the latter ones you do not find much of ... .

I have cut virtually no beech so far - I prefer mixed firewood - and my
wood piles consist of a very great variety of other leafy trees plus some
coniferous trees.

There are an ample amont of big treas here despite that people not from
here strangly seem to belive otherwise :) - I cut a blizzard fallen forty
inch willow (I believe it was anyway) a fortnight ago - see picture

and it has now been granted a rest in my new wood pile :) .

Thank you!

Since I am new to cutting and definitely stacking firewood, I figured I would give two different styles of stacking a try. Both types are where I processed the wood though I usually do it where I have the round piles. Here are pictures of both areas.

I will appologise for the larger images, but the laptop I was using was overheating and in need of a cooling fan (I ordered 2) Once I fix the other one, then I'll go back to resizing the images. The laptop I'm currently using doesn't have all the programs loaded and is still doing those stupid updates even though it doesn't have all the bells n whistles the other one has.

With my other laptop being down, that's why I haven't been posting here for about a week.
