..........Since March and coming to Hearth.com................
I'd say I have 3 yrs of wood now. All the wood except the ash came from the property I live on and all the wood was dead and dry and ripe for the harvest.

Nice pile-o-wood. With 18 acres of woods you should never run out. What type of stove do you have?

No woodstove yet...first things first!
 
Being prepared for winter feels good, eh?
Looking good !
 
Yeah I'm working on year 4 also........before Hearth.com, I would probably only have a year or two's worth. In the immortal words of my buddy Zap, GIBIR (Get It Before It Rots)!

Very nice..... Every yr it will only get better! ;)

Standing dead Ash w/ 1 Summer of seasoning/drying = Good

Ash w/ 2-3 yrs = Absolutely Phenomenal! !

(As noted above. What type of stove do you have? Add to Sig line?)
 
Nice work Tim.
 
Scotty, I'm on board with you and Zap. I took a walk yesterday and came upon a down tree. It was small, but dry as a bone and off the ground with no bark.
It's probably been there for 5 years. They use to go unnoticed until I got the bogey fever. I had a day vacation today and had plans later, but about 8:00 am I went up there and cut it.......It was hard maple and I will have it split by tomorrow. Easy pickens and it was about 1/4 cord of hard maple My stacks are growing by using this piddling method. lol

I have a wood/oil combo that is made in Grand Rapids Minnesota called a Charmaster. I have a 2000 square foot open plan house and it heats it no problem. The heat is blown through the ductwork just like a gas furnace.

Tim, Looks like my "Chunkey Monkey" pile. I heated half of last year from that pile, waiting for winter to kick in before breaking out the all nighter "big oak". Looks like you have it figured out, dry it, burn it and it produces BTU's.
 
Looking good. :)
 
Dang, Tim- it looks like you have been busier than a whole ARMY of beavers... Good job! Since it hasn't been said yet for this thread, here goes.... "SLOTTAWOOD!" (That's alot of wood) heheh.
