Was able to get this free score this morning. There were some oak (don't know type) trees that were cut in the national forest on a road that runs by my house. They were lying in the ditch. There are about 4 more loads about this size that is there for the taking. 24 huge rounds.

While I was cutting a guy came by and said he had a place up the road getting logged and for me to get what I wanted.
 
Wow great score... looks like some good red oak. You'll be nice and warm in 2017! Just try not to overload your truck :)
 
I'd try to not buck any more than you can get in one load. I find that hard to do, but the next guy's story would be " I found all this great wood bucked and stacked by the side of the road!!". :eek:
 
I have a tandem axle trailer that I load over the axles, so truck does not have a problem
 
No, only buck what I can take at the time. No free labor around here.

Yeah it is nice to be ahead. I am burning oak and hickory this year that was cut and stacked two years ago. It has only been cold enough for a couple of fires. But that stuff starts up great and burns forever.
