Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

I just brought them in case ... I was going there to run the splitter!

I like my (relatively) new trailer. Much more HD than the old one. (3,500 lb axle instead of 2,000 lb).

The owner is the age of my kids but suffered a stroke after being forced to get the Covid shot by his employer.

After several surgeries (in NYC) he is doing fine. Good thing, he is a nice guy and has a young daughter.

How sad.
Good on you helping him out Mike .
Some of that wood looked to be some great all nighters.

Did you manage to avoid all the metal in the tree?

So far, LOL they are easy to see, made several rounds in that section, have more to go. Taking Orange marking paint with me today!

So alaska is essentially conifer country your saying. No oak, maple, ash, aspen/popple.

No indiginous species of those sort's. There may be a few hear and there in the suburbs of Anchorage in someone's front yard. The only hard woods we have to speak if is White birch, but only on the Main land none here on the Island. The white birch in Alaska grow to a decent size probably 2.5 foot across and 80 foot tall would be a big one. There are quite a bit on the Keni Peninsula. Very good fire wood. We have Black Birch here on Kodiak and Afognak, but very few snd far between.

Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

Black Birch has far more BTUs than White Birch. They are on opposite sides of Oak and Maple on the BTU charts.

The burning capacity of the Elm firewood is deficient, and it is not the preferred choice of many people, but it is still used for small purposes,

We have aspen/poplar but as we all know it’s not a great wood, and when it’s 50 below you need all the BTUs you can get.

Where'd you find it? I've been looking all over for it!
Haven't seen it mentioned; I try to split rectangles for better stacking.

Got it all bucked up, most of the screw in steps came out in one piece, sprayed the others and didn't hit metal with the saw.

As requested, pictures of the stacks I recently split from the oak and the remaining oak rounds pile that I cut and moved in a day and a half using a wheelbarrow and dolly. There is a good sized pile not pictured of 10 foot long logs I need to cut and move to the pile. Looks like I'll get a minimum of 3 full cords out of that oak score. The hickory is the bigger stuff to the far right and the right half of the stack against the fence. Going to fetch more hickory tomorrow after making room for it by splitting oak all week

You lucky son on a gun being able to split wood in a way thats easy to stack.

Here’s one a grabbed from the stack out in the deck that I filled yesterday. This one isn’t even really that bad, it was just easy to to get to.

Fakebook, and I don’t remember what page. Now I can’t find it.

Those kind go on what I call my "uglies pile" and burn first at the start of the heating season, crooks, knots, twists, shorts, longs - anything that won't stack decently. . I just did fed the last chunk of this years to the stove yesterday

Someone had high hopes!

Got the rest of that Poplar clean up this evening. There is some small stuff that he cut into about 8" pieces. I told him I'd get it this weekend. It's won't amount to much, and likely get burned outside. Last load we cleaned up all the noodles from splitting the rounds. Easily handled by the ms400 with the 24" b/c in it.
After I finished up, there was a package waiting for me! Cloggers showed up early, and they tossed a beanie in the box. Kinda bummed I didn't notice them earlier, but I'll be trying them out this weekend.

unfortunately 99% of our wood here looks like that. Birch is usually nice and straight, but slim pickings and saved for when its 50 below.
