i will once the insurance company comes to my houseWhat ..? you meen you dont have this c,s,s yet get moving on this wood
I guess since pine really doesn't grow any roots its comes down pretty easy. It is all over the place here. I will enough pine to build a fence around my 1/2 acreIve noticed more pines/hemlocks down than any other species from this storm, I saw a pile of pine that was bucked on the side of the road with a free sign, so I threw it in the truck, will be good shoulder season wood next year.
I agree with you a 100% let's save the landfill if we can . How long should I let it dry forWell…I know there are many folks that don't like pine…but we have two WOODstoves installed. And yup…pine and softwoods are are wood. We burn them all so long as the are C/S/S in order to get them dry. Glad to hear you plan on using it!
We are cruising through a bunch of pine right now that is 1.5 years old. Came down i while I was deployed and it is keeping the family happy in the shoulder season. Granted its work that does not yield as much as oak or hickory…but when its free, and close, it is heat in my book.
In my book, I would much rather see it burned (when seasoned) in an EPA stove rather then fill the landfill.

We had two cords ready for this year (for the shoulder season) get it c/s/s then it will be ready for next year.
. Once it's CSS how long will it last before it gets punky?
Has to be about 42" it's like a Rockefeller center treewow
how big across is that monster
I'm so glad it did even though it did clip it a bit. The truck not soon enough. Around feb or marchGood to see it missed the house! Wood everywhere now. When are you getting that truck?
They will give me around $500 for the tree and ill take that money and buy a nice saw. It clipped my house and messed up my gutters and the roof a little. It also cracked my walkway .Hemlock or spruce? Lots of limbs to deal with.
Why ins. claim? if you plan on cleaning it up yourself - unless you have other damage
I find pine cures relatively quickly. Bucked in the winter, split and stacked in April, it's generally ready for that fall. To play it safe I would say if you CSS that tree this fall it will be ready by next winter. I am wondering about the opposite problem. Once it's CSS how long will it last before it gets punky? I got a recent opportunity to get 5-6 cords of pine for free but I can only imagine using a couple cords a year as I will mix in with my good wood. Will CSS pine last 2-3 years in an open air stack?
So once I split it I should cover itnot around here it wont last to long getting rained on! In my opinion in my area over a year it better be under a cover.
I'm actually gonna build one in a few weeks because I'm gonna have so much wood in a few weeks. My neighbor is cutting 3 trees next week. 1 oak and 2 maplesYes, but you still need the air to get to it - either cover just the top or consider building a shed with a roof but no sides (see my profile pic). We love ours.
There is a decent overhang on the roof so wood very very rarely gets any blown rain on it.
