Bring your rain coat!

Ugh is this weather going to last all day? Dang it. Guess I'll set up my new drill press instead!

Hey here's a cord for $300, you pick up :D

Looks like it was 'cured' in the shade

I say we should have a thread dedicated to the State. Figure we can share information and help each other out.

I am from Shelton, and have been lucky with a tree service and some neighbors. Will post wood pile pics soon.

Stratford Here. First year with a stove. Able to get some wood fro ma golf course I work at. Trying to convince a neighbor, behind me, that has 8= acres with several downed oak and cut up cherrys to allow me to enter the property and cut them up.

The state is cutting wood again on I-95 southbound around Route 2. Not sure how accessible it is but it's the same drill that happened earlier this year (just southbound instead of north).

I'm not offering any advice as to the legality of obtaining firewood from the side of the interstate, just stating it is there.

Scam warning! (broken link removed to http://newhaven.craigslist.org/for/5297693112.html)

Warning this guy was paid 200.00 to deliver a cord of firewood and it ended up being less than a half cord. He was supposed to come pick it back up and refund our money and never showed or called to rescheduled.
His name is Kasdyn # 203-725-4544 he drives a white 1ton dump truck with Wisconsin plates on it and claims he has lived in Ct for 2- 3 years but does not want to change his plates because he does not like to do paperwork. Do not get ripped off by him like I did. Here is his Ad. These photos are the wood he delivered a lot of it is rotted wood and I only wanted 16" but no more than 17" wood and there is wood there that is 22.5" long that will not fit in the stove. And for the record a cord of wood is 128 square feet stacked and 187 square feet thrown in a pile ( or un stacked) all this can be goggled for proof and he calls 140 square feet thrown in the back of his truck unstacked a cord of wood. Pretty sure he does not know what he is talking about being I have been in the wood business all of my life in Maine. Guess I should have known better now I am trying to warn others so they don't make the same mistake I did.

Anybody know of a place to buy ethanol free gas in CT?

I just bought the Jonsered pre-mixed gas from tractor supply, though the place I bought my saw has some too. But it seems it's 95 octane ethanol-free gas pre-mixed to 50:1. It's maybe a quart, so it's really expensive, but I haven't found any other source of ethanol-free gas.

 

[Tom123]

I bought he Stihl premix, same thing. When I have allot of cutting I will mix a gallon of 50:1 pump 91 octane. I run the premix through the saw at the end of the session to clean out the ethanol gas.

Sounds good, I expect that's what I'll do, too, next time I have a lot of cutting to do.

I have only done two overnight fires in the last two weeks! Weather seems a bit warm for this time of year. Waking up to 50 degrees at 7am. My record of last year shows it was snowing a bit then. I've got the yearning to get burning, but I am still waiting. Anyone else?

I've been doing evening fires here and there on nights it gets into the 30's just to get the house back up to 65ish. The day time warmth has been nice. You will probably get your opportunity this weekend.

 

[edge-of-the-woods]

It's been just cool and wet enough to really WANT a fire, but not need a fire. I'm definitely itching to burn!!

 

[Jay106n]

I did one yesterday as it was cool and wet. It wasn't necessary but nice to dry things out a bit, especially since I was cutting wood out in the rain.

I have been burning downed branches from the yard the last 3 nights, takes the chill out of the house and cleans the yard. It's a lot of work for little effort, but taking down 30 trees in the yard does make a mess
