Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[svk]

Here's a pic my buddy just sent of the trees I cut last winter and this summer with @MustangMike. Last winter we had 3' of snow and this summer there was 4' of grass and vines.

Most of this is sugar maple. Lots of btu's in there.

To the right of this photo is a 28" red elm. Definitely need a hydro to start working that up.

Does 'scrounging time' to work on, do simple maintenance on something heat related count? Have two old school Everglow model P-E8, 19,6K BTU kerosene radiant heaters. One I use in the shop, if only out there for a short amount of time, in lieu of making a fire in the wood stove. My dad bought these around 1980 timeframe. The second one is still in its original box, unused, in the top of my shop. Heater works like a champ...been using it for years. Replaced the wick in it a few years ago and I'll let the wick do a 'dry burn' a few times throughout each winter, and it just keeps rolling right along.

Scrounge on gentlemen.

I used to heat with kero, then the price per gal skyrocketed, one fifty to over four dollars per gal.
Last I checked it was just under four, and if you buy the one gal tin from HD. your talking ten bux.

That's one reason I switched to wood.

If you want a cheap beer that tastes good I recommend Mikwaukee's Best Light. You will have nasty gas the next day but it's quite tasty.

It's right at $4 a gal here now. Don't hurt the wallet too bad because it's only used if I'm in the shop for a short time. If any longer, I'll crank up the wood stove. Yes, crazy what the box stores want for a gal.

Lol...

Wayy back when I was still doing bavarian breakfast juice, I hauled a load of carpet up to my lil bro where he was stationed at wright pat and came back with my vw hippie van loaded down with cheap cases of black mabels..that was my fav cheapo brew. HAHAHAHA, going up them dang mountains was a trip, retired old lady school bus drivers driving coal trucks were passing me with that load of carpet on board...

Scrounge from today, was actually a tree at work that fell on an nature trail... the contracted company came out with a MS170 to clear it up lol well needless to say it took every inch of the 25" bar on the 440 to get here. Cleared about 1/3 of the wood today and brought it ton our church as we give it to those in need. The rounds were too large to carry so all the excessive noodles are from having to noodle them in half. ..

Oh boy, the Beast!!! Not my favorite, drank it like water back in high school.....Now I have a more refined pallet, Old Milwaukee Light, Great tasting beer! Was $11.50 for a dirty thirty last week, usually can pick up for $14.00 tho.

My brother has been homebrewing lately, since January he has brewed close to 300 gallons of beer. Anything from IPA's to blondes, kolsh. Did a Graff beer out of pure fresh apple juice. It is a little tart, but is getting better with a little age, it packs a punch. He made a Blue Moon clone beer that was spot on. A few great tasting American Ambers.

Several years ago I read about some group of people who rate beer put Milwaukee's Best real high with some expensive stuff. Cheap is good, free is better.
