3 Year Old Cherry

[thewoodlands]

Going through some pictures I came across this Cherry, it's been stacked for 2 years up top which you can't get to until spring.

This should burn great for the 2010-2011 heating season.

Nice, how long will that last you?

If those are stacked on the ground, those bottom pcs will be trash, and a waste. Cherry is good stuff.

I've been burning the hell out of some twisted cherry. Getting great heat but a lot of coals.

Depending on the temperature it should last a little over 1/2 month. With the Lopi in the basement and from the temps this year we are burning 2.67 face cord a month starting in December.

The black cherry is stacked on some smaller pine.

I took some advice from this site and started raking the coals forward an let them burn down more.

That is not necessarily true Hog. If left for many years it will trash but certainly not in the first year. We've done it many times with no problem.

I can't remember if I ever specifically put cherry on the ground, but it doesn't hurt oak within 5 years. If I go to burn it, and the pieces that are touching the ground seem a little too heavy or wet, I just toss them on the top of next year's pile. No big deal.

Was that covered up ?
I've never seen cherry keep it's fresh cut and split colors like that for much beyond 6 months.


It's kinda damp here, mine grows grey fungi.



I can't leave anything on the ground.
I left a shovel outside one Winter with the business end up. Propped against a tree.
The termites had claimed at least 4 inches of the handle where it touched the ground.

It was covered for the first winter then uncovered for the summer an covered again for this winter (top only) it's stacked in an area that gets partial sun.
