Friends. My daughter was joking with my wife that I was in the backyard playing with my friends while I was splitting. I told her if I split and burn my friends she should she see what I do with enemies. Logs are future friends.

Good Stuff - all straight stuff,small to medium rounds,all size splits,mostly denser woods -this is all stacked very neatly.

Scrap -fallen dead limbs/branches/small dead saplings from 1 1/4" to 4",milling off-cuts,trimmings,end cuts from the shop,stuff too big for the kindling barrels yet too small to stack with the Good Stuff.Mostly straight stuff that's smaller in size.


Odds & Sods/Junk Pile - short chunks,broken stubs,medium to large sized knotty,crooked,forked or twisted pieced that havent been cut down with bandsaw to make them more manageable -i.e. anything too good to leave behind yet not uniform shape.Its all dumped in a couple piles,burned in Spring/Fall plus a few milder Winter days/evenings.

I don't name my wood . . . if I named it I would get too attached to it and wouldn't be able to burn it when it's time is up. Instead I prefer to keep our relationship on the platonic level . . .

I split, by hand, some nasty, twisted, knotty maple today and I certainly didn't call it anything civil for sure!

 

[Bacffin]

I call mine "Heat"

 

[jrendfrey]

Ok, naming the wood? Never thought of it to be honest but I guess we all have our own categories. I know I should add a piss pie since all of a sudden today I noticed my darling little Jack Russell peeing on the far edge of my stack on a pallet. Today I went to move the tarp that was on top and a little mouse scared the chit out of me, I guess my dog is marking the territory but I don't think I'll be burning those pieces! He better catch the mouse! I don't want turds in my piles!

Whenever I see a large gnarly twisted knotty tight grained and pretty much un-splittable piece of wood, it gets the title of "baby-maker". You know, it burns longer than anything else, so you don't have to get out of bed to reload the fire and, well, you do the math!
