Food for the HeatMaster GS100. Rescued from the grinder at the sawmill..  :D
Red oak, sycamore, yellow poplar, soft maple, and some I'm not sure. Trying to fill it up to the top by midsummer before installs crank up.
Anybody else have pictures to share?

My dad and I take turns buying wood and pile it in his pasture. We had a little miscommunication and both of us bought a load so I guess we're good for a couple years!

Here's my pile so far.  This is the back of my 24'X24' wood shed.  The stove is in the front.  The left side is full, the right side is almost half full.  I should be able to fill the rest of it in another month or so.

How do you work on firewood in this weather? I usually quit in the spring once it gets hot out and start up again in the fall.

I do it days that aren't so hot.  I call it exercise.

We've had day after day of rain and sticky warm weather. I've gotten lazy and been burning long slabs on end instead of cutting to proper length. It's too hot and sweaty.
It actually works pretty good.

Ditto here.

Made second cutting hay before the rain started, hadn’t any real rain in almost a month, got 24 bales off 50 acres. Or less than a 500 lbs per acre. Should have been 3 times that easy. Then it started raining, in the last 5 weeks have only been able to make one small 12 acre field and that never got dry in four days, might just end up with bedding out of that one. after all the rain 12 acres out yielded the 50.

Just miserable here with the humidity, takes till noon or 1 o’clock to get the lawn dry, sometimes 2 o’clock.

Yup, I shouldn't complain. Forcast now is saying 5 days of no rain and lows in the 50's. Feels like fall almost.

Kinda the same, cooler temps but only two days before the next rain.
