Once the piles gone it's gone till next winter.

Have too much to do yet before planting starts. Just got the new motor in the skid steer tonight so haven't been cutting any wood anyways.

Staying warm enough here now not burning a lot of wood anyways, once it's gone I'll turn the nat gas back on to the furnace and let it get a little use.

I have 4 cords left of next years wood.  I had about 8 stacked but I burnt half of it.  Time to get busy again!

I have been knocking down dead trees, and gathering dead stuff off the ground, to finish out the season.
This was the first winter in a long time that I went out and cut wood in the snow. I had a fence row that needed cleaned up, so I took my garden tractor out there on top of my ridge and cleaned off the snow before I started dropping trees. I wound up with almost 10 cord of wood before I finished up, also took down some random cherry trees along a fence row. So I have about 15 cord stacked in my pile for next winter.

Of the 8 cord I had for this year, I still have about a cord and half to go.  With these warmer temps were finally receiving it takes 4 to 5 pieces of 4 inch diameter sized wood to go 12 hours so the usage has decreased substantially.  Roger

Nice setup JD Jim

My original stack was gone in January.  I way under-estimated the BTU value of the wood I had stacked.  BIG TIME!  But, that's the cool thing about burning a conventional stove.  I'da been SCREWED if I had a gasser.  I'm burning some seriously green stuff and still don't have any serious creosote!  But, I've also got 10 cords ready for next winter.  10 cords of REAL BTU firewood.  Last year the best stuff I had was 1.5 cords of Red Oak.  Next year, the WORST stuff I have is Cherry!

Me too..

I am down to burning dogwood.  It is pretty good firewood.  For some reason I had a die off of dogwoods in about five acres of woods that are in the cow pasture a couple of years ago.   I don't know if the cows stomping around in there killed them or what.

It is about hard as a rock and holds fire well.  Hated to see them die though, they were pretty in the spring.  Some of them were six inch or bigger trees.

Most likely, one part of of the woods the cows can get into is hard on the tulip poplars, rest of the trees seem to be alright.

Dam,    I have about 4 cord on the other side of the field but cant get to it now, guess it will have to wait until July or Aug to get split.

It sure has been a hard winter on the wood pile. I'm down to scraps as well. 

[woodman]

I guess misery loves company. My wood pile is as low as it ever has been in spring. Still getting below freezing at night around here. Usually burn till June, maybe I will just go year around this year. The kids are getting big enough we use a rudiculas amount of hot water.

Yeah I'm right with you guys, last row in the shed of this years stuff, temps are up here as of late and thanks for that! Will be shutting down as soon as things start to dry up but that will probably take just about all of what I have left for wood. Been a brutal winter, will be cutting wood late for next season, don't like being behind, happy spring to everyone!
