Many Thanks

[SpeakEasy]

I just want to say that I REALLY appreciate all the advice I've found here. A year ago I had about 1/6 cord of seasoned wood on hand as I began the installation of my wood fireplace. I bought a total of 3 cords of wood last year, most of which was unseasoned (which I didn't realize at the time). I burned a little more than 2 cords. In the spring I began buying and storing wood for this winter and for 2011-2012 because of the instruction I received here. I now have on hand almost 5 cords, and a little more on-order. My plan from here on out is to get about 2 cords a year and stay two years ahead. It's a GREAT feeling to know that I have plenty of wood on hand and it is testing out to be under 20% moisture content. I am a happy camper, thanks to you folks.

It's been a learning process for all of us . . . and yeah . . . it really is a great feeling to be ahead on the wood.

Speak, you learn quickly and will do just fine.

while we're having a lovefest I'll chime in and say thanks too! I'm a frequent reader and infrequent poster! And sorry my first few posts last year were so stupid- since then I've learned to use the "search" function LOL

I was really glad to see the support here when I joined. Shoot, this place is going to get me/us through the second install ;-P


It's taken 3 years, but I have enough dry wood to run 2 stoves this year...busted our butts this year cutting, splitting, stacking (the Dixette split the last dozen or so rounds of pine and 6-8 oak & 2 2 YO cherry rounds, today, going to stack it this weekend, and get that pine under top cover.)


AND we've got a good leg up on next year. Still 7 cherry trees cut out at the farm last year ( in 16" rounds, 12=18" wide) to be split & processed, and then there's maybe 10 dead & standing ash & locust. Plus assorted other trees needing trimming/cutting in the pastures. The splitter goes back to the farm this weekend, so we can start processing. We split the wood 3 ways. It's a win/win.

And all because I did a search on Google
