There are lots more of these on the Internet. Also a bunch of good ideas here on AS in a thread titled something like 'Show Us Your Firewood Stacks' (or something like that).

Cool, thanks. I'll search for that thread.
 
There was a virus/hacker attack late summer, 2013 (?) and a lot of images and links were lost.

There are some technical reasons why some images remain, depending on how they were inserted or linked, but that is beyond me. Some of us have tried to 'go back in' and rebuild some classic threads, but a lot of very valuable information was lost.

Well it's 30 degrees here with windchill making it feel like 21. Tonight should be about 13 degrees or so with wind. Guess I'll have to sit outside by my little metal fire pit to enjoy my scrounged wood while you guys get to watch secondaries burning. :(

Glad you're waiting till your chimney is"right" ambull. thumbs up.jpg
 
Just got home 20* outside, wifey had it 78* inside. Burning the wood mustangmikes ported 046 whooped into rounds for me.

20 over this way too Matt. Will be the first night we dip into the teens. Temp was dropping all afternoon. I had to deliver a snow blower over towards the house around 2:30 so I swung in and loaded up the stove. Came home to some nice hot coals instead of having to do the newspaper and kindling routine.
 
Hey, can't give me all the credit, but was happy to help! UR cousin got her stove fixed and is happily burning that Chestnut Oak, and very pleased with it!

So even though I don't heat my primary home with wood any more, I'm glad I was able to help both of U a bit.

I don't think it reached 30 here today, and windy to boot. Just glad I'm not in Buffalo NY, my neighbor's family is there, and his brother sent a pic of over 4' of snow! I heard over 100 miles of the Thruway are closed, that lake effect snow is nasty! The wind blows it right back in the road as soon as the plow goes by, cars get stranded, and U got a real mess!
 
AccuWeather says it is going down to 17 degrees here tonight, and only reaching 30 tomorrow.

Wanted to go bow hunting in Westchester where I can take either sex, but think I will stay in Putnam and use the MZ and look for antlers! I no longer like playing with the bow when it gets that cold.
 
IMG_0516.JPG i dropped a cherry tree today. the thing must have been 50 feet tall and straight. i have to admit, i felt bad cutting it up because it would have made some nice furniture wood.
where i'm cutting now it's like ash, oak and some crab apple trees. as i was clearing trees, i went to get more gas out of my truck and there it was...all majestic looking. i realized then it had my name on it.

it's now sitting in a pile waiting to be split later this week. :)
 
Some of that junk Tree of Heaven keeping my fire going...

I just had to back the draft down, ToH started getting carried away with itself...it still amazes me that two years later I'm still burning this JUNK WOOD. Free for the hauling, nobody wanted it, probably four cords or more. Point being...not being scared to burn JUNK WOOD can keep you warm!
