Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[stihly dan]

Missed all the (BAD) stuff today. But what are these punishment points? Are they supposed to hurt or punish us? Who needs who more here? Before anybody gets there panties in a bunch, just trying to see what the new rules are on the most successful thread on fwh.

You guys in PA been burning? Haven't had a fire in about two weeks now. Crazy winter so far. All my rounds are split and stacked. Have to find more trees now

just build a fire in the shop to keep the shop cats warm.

Just keep on topic (kinda) and you will be fine.

But you if you do end up with any, I hear you can trade them in for linkbucks....

lol. Steve has jokes! That one handle made my left arm as strong as my right so it wasn't all for naught.

I'm still belly laughing thinking of someone doing this.

No, the best whiskey is made from maple staves. Jack Daniels

Btw. Maple charcoal filtered. But aged in white oak barrels.

Jebus , I had no time to check in yesterday and I see that it looks like BudLight was poured all over the cornflakes , musta been a debate about who was smarter , Elmer Fudd , Donald Duck , Daisy Duck , and Goofy , I think Bugs Bunny was the smartest one LOL
Winds were gusting here all day yesterday and last night up to 50 mph with heavy rains and bands of snow , no snow stayed on the ground but the wife spotted some blowdowns on her walk with the dogs this morning .
Unfortunately they're not in the area where I scrounge up most of my wood but it's minutes away from my zone so I hope that the winds were kind and put a few new ones that fall within my cutting permit guidelines

 

[mainewoods]

With this non-winter we're having, I have been scrounging a bunch of dead pine limbs for the way above average number of short, morning and evening fires needed. I've been through more kindling than firewood. That's fine with me!!

That's all the fire I've been having too. Early this year I scrounged a whole pickup load of rough cut pine strapping left from when the roof was done at our church about 1x4 mostly. Been using it as kindling and adding a piece of hardwood on top and that's it.

 

[dancan]

I've had a continuous fire going here since late October but most days just small enough to just keep the coals going , burnt up all my scrounged up Zoggerwood and about 1/2 a cord of 2x's and now I'm into my SPF cut and split for about a third of a cord with a few small sticks of hardwood at night .
Still got wood for a polar vortex if it comes

fixed for accuracy.

The polar vortex is up there lurking, don't give up hope quite yet,Dan. Been in the 30's to 40's during the day here, teens and twenties at night. Been burning daily since Oct. Chainsaws running all around me daily. I can hear 'em all the way across to the next mountain.

Nah , Between you Southerners and us Northerners we can't get anything to add up and come close to the RoadRunner Beep!Beep!

I was looking at some maple and yellow birch that I can't cut because they're not in my scrounging permit and was thinking while having a nice Cascadian Dark that maybe I should tap some this spring and make maple and birch syrup

 

[MustangMike]

I know someone who wants to make syrup and has both Sugar Maple and Black Birch on his property. Would you recommend mixing the saps? I have seen Black Birch flow like a faucet, and it smells kinda like Wintergreen. I think it is also supposed to have medicinal benefits.

Been hearing the saws here as well and seeing loads of fresh cut anything drive by , most are getting this winters wood and figure it will be dry and ready to burn when winter finally gets here , I can tell you that I've stuffed more wood in the Montana than the loads I've seen go by in Rangers and Canyons LOL
I'm happy to be ahead of the curve this year

 

[dancan]

Mike , old school would say no mixing but heck , we're well passed the seventies LOL
I was thinking of mixing but I think I'll keep the birches from the maples .

My dogs keep me warm. Or I should say my wife. My goofy pitbull likes to spoon.

You ever see the episode of Family Guy I think where one dude discovers free online ****? He goes missing for a few days and his right arm is extremely muscled. lol.

I guess I musta missed something, but that ain't too surprising for me!!lol

Yep, it was my bad. Forum full of gun nuts and I mentioned regulation. Shame shame ambull
