Hey all, So we had our Jotul Rockland insert installed back in March, burned a couple fires to break it in, but really have no need to use it until next fall. I have about 1/3 of a cord of well seasoned Ash left over from the previous owner, stacked and covered before we bought the house, ~2 years ago. Our plan is to buy a couple cords of supposedly seasoned wood locally for next season, and let it sit through the summer.
We've been doing some yard renovation, took down 2 more ash trees, one ~16" in diameter at chest height the other ~20 inches, and we have a few more planned later in the summer, a maple, an oak, and 2-3 ash of varying sizes. This will hopefully provide what we will need in the 2013-2014 winter, and maybe the 2014-2015 season.
But eventually, I am going to run out of trees to cut down. Anyone know the laws here in CT for collecting firewood from the side of roads/highways? My dad thought I needed to get a permit and was limited to a certain amount of wood. I know in some areas there are also laws about how far you can transport wood because of invasive pests. Google hasn't been much help, can anyone point me in the right direction?
