Are you ready?
« on: September 13, 2011, 06:34:41 PM »
Just wondered who all has managed to get the years supply cut,split and stacked? :)
I know I have yet to even start cutting my logs up yet.I had hoped to start in the spring,but do to helping my mom tear her house down and then put a new modular in.There has been no time to do anything at my own house. :bash:
I hope to be done with most of her stuff by the end of the week,and maybe then start cutting and splitting. :thumbup:

Ready!! Have 7 cords in wood shed ready to go. Glad to here you took the time to help mom out. You will never regret that. sounds like you are getting geared up to start sawing though. A least the weather has cooled down. I try not to cut wood when it is so hot. Will probably start cutting for next year in a couple of weeks. Like to keep wood at least 1 year ahead if I can.

I'm all set for this year and most of next year, I do have some big rounds to split up when it cools of a little. They have been cut and stacked of the ground for two years.  My gassifier loves well seasoned wood so I have plenty on hand to feed it.    :thumbup:

I'm not sure how big my wood shed is, probably like 14x18 and it's completely full, stacked 8 feet high all the way through, and has a couple ricks across the end not covered.  Last year it took about 1/2 of the shed full, I'd say I have well over 2 years of wood cut. 
About 40% of my wood is well seasoned and it will be burnt this winter, however i'm excited about next years wood, there was a HUGGGEEEEE double white oak that fell in my grandparents back yard.  The logs were over waist high, and absolutely full of huge limbs, we cut over 15 full size 8 foot truck bed loads of wood out of it.  The rounds were so big it took 2-3 people to get them off the ground and rolled up on the splitter.

 I don't have the first stick cut. I guess when I need some heat I will either cut a load or buy a ton of coal. To busy installing furnaces right now to worry about it.

Yep- Was done May 22nd.   http://outdoorwoodfurnaceinfo.com/forum/index.php?action=media;sa=media;in=50;preview

Once the leaves start falling I'll get bored and look for some more to stockpile, but won't use it until 2012-2013 winter.

Cut a little dry stuff today, have to wait for the crops to get done to get a bunch more.  I have a ton of wet stuff cut for next year.  Somehow I think I have done this bass ackwards.

I dont see how you guys survive cutting wood this late in the year and then trying to burn it, i dont care if the tree is dead, still it's not like seasoned wood.   Especially you guys with gasifiers!

Scott,

I would like to claim laziness and stupidity as my defense.  I am quite surprised at how well my dead stuff burns in my gasifier.  I did get more creosote than I like sometimes, but I got mine later in the year last year where I did not know I would be burning wood.  This season the guy that rents our family fields did not leave a lane in the crops so I have to wait until I have access, that won't happen again I assure you.  I think luck had something to do with it also, but I agree, I like seasoned wood.
