Thank goodness Tractor Supply told me "now is the time to cut, split and burn wood"!

Well they could mean for next year. Since the weather is going to be cooling soon it's technically a better time than summer. So they aren't 100% wrong. Lol

It is getting to be that time of year isnt it?

Aww man I wasted all that time prior to now?? What was I thinking...

Dangit! I wasted a lot of time when I coulda been sitting around in the A/C!

I sweated my ass off today with this nice little hit. 3 trailer loads today and 2 more when I go back over there. The house where the wood is at is only a few blocks away. This is why I always change up my routes when i drive places. Guess tractor supply knew something today.

The stove shop down the road has a similar message on their electronic sign.

TSC is right in a way. It is getting to be that time of year again, as Applesister says. I try not to work up firewood over summer, it's just too hot and muggy for that kind of thing. Come on fall, I'm ready.

Come to think of it, I need to order a replacement baffle for our stove before too much longer. The one that's in there is on borrowed time.

I had about 8 large trees that came down mid-July after a strong storm, and it was the worst time I have ever had while gathering wood. Hot, muggy, sweaty with no relief from the bugs. I would have left them for this fall, but they placed themselves on the road and power lines.

Had an A-hole tree guy Cut down a Maple in April at my neighbors. The base was 36" round. He cut then 10" long. So I ended up with these frisbees. Split them in June. Most awkward logs I ever had. There 10" long. And with a 10" radius on the splits. Should I split them in half. Or keep them short and long like a cheese cake slice?

That makes no sense why would he cut 30 something inch logs into 10 inch cookies ?

They were right; The time to cut, split and stack is always now!

Fall has traditionally been the time to make final preparations for Winter.

I'd like to see a picture that "clearly shows intent to burn two months from now" in an ad or otherwise.

Easier for the tree guy to move the rounds.

Now it makes perfect sense. I was thinking of it from a firewood point of view, of course

Yeah if I was selling saws I wouldn't advertise it right before 98% of people start cutting again.......,

I stop cutting in early spring and don't start until early fall. Some people have other **** to do the rest of the year.

Straightened them right out with your email did ya, good for you.

Tractor supply didn't tell me what to do yet, I might be screwed this winter. LOL just kidding, when I start listening to big box stores I might as well take my American flag off my porch.

Cause the guy is a dick. Now I have 10" logs. Not really sure leaving them with long radius is useful
