Well Darn!

I thought I was going to have enough wood to get through this winter. I season my wood at my parents house and my in-laws. They both own acreage and that is where I do a majority of my cutting. I just c/s/s there and then move it here in the fall.

I think I moved about three cords this year, and a couple of weeks ago I looked at my stack and thought I did pretty well. Then the subzero temps moved in and my stove couldn't be satisfied. I have about two or three more days of wood here. I have a few days worth at my parents I planned on burning but never moved.I am going to get it tomorow. Then I have to get into next years stacks.

Thankfully, I just found a huge score from a friend who had a ditch cleaned out. He said there was some cottonwood, hackberry, but most was ASH! Only problem, I have to get to it while the ground is still frozen. I told him I would take the cottonwood last.

From what I've read, you probably don't want to bother with the cottonwood at all; very poor quality firewood.

Yeah, I already have a couple of cottonwood trees at my parents to clean up that I am not excited about. I wouldn't even mess with them normally, but I am trying to help him out some. Plus, I will get a lot of ash for helping him.
