I have plenty to burn, for now, spitting some stuff for next year and stacking in a pretty well ventilated shed. Just want to make sure I'm not miss-using my shed space, if this stuff should be left outside for a year

I imagine that, in most cases, you would get best results from stacking outside with cover on top of would only. Single rows if possible....double stacked with a bit of room in between stacks is fine, as well. You might decide to do half in shed and half out as an experiment. The top covering would most helpful if you are working with more porous woods like pine. Imo, with hardwoods, would be alright if left uncovered until a month before burning season begins.

I'm gonna be down for about 12 weeks.....Docs orders, or I'd be splttin' and stackin' this weekend....great score guys

Just got this load delivered, $200, mostly red, and white oak. The guy has a tree service, and his lot is a couple miles from my house. He said he'll deliver bark slabs, I think for the same price, leftover from milling wood. I think it'll end up being about two cord, so $100 a cord isn't terrible. Definitely cheaper than buying/maintaining a truck just for scrounging wood, nice that it just came to me.

J - Thanks for the tip , I think I will look this Guy up.

Thanks J. I will save the info. My tree guy in Old Saybrook left me 2 cords each of Norway Maple and Red Oak. Moving and processing it will take me another month.

Nice find!

I would jump on this one if I wasn't stuck working all week. (Plus I'm already on surplus mode atm as it is)

Seems to be a surplus of firewood this year so far

Looks like a decent deal for $100

1200 for 8 cords, actually looks like a decent deal ($150/cord), however in the post claims the stack is 5x8x32, which stacks out to 10 cords. Might make the deal even sweeter. I count 8 sets of pallets 2 deep in the pics

Not sure if this belongs in The Woodshed or The Gear

He was not the sharpest knife in the draw either, pun intended "While trying to leave the area, Salafia cut himself with the chain saw"

Other guy had a gun permit, dipy dog decided to leave him alone. Surprised the media even reported it.

Did the guy have a chainsaw permit? Look out, that's next. We all will need background checks before we can buy and carry a chainsaw if Malloy has it his way.

When chainsaws are outlawed only outlaws will have chainsaws.

We gotta have a sugar tax first

Had to 'revive' this thread, seeing as it's almost time to light up. Got some nice [ugh] maple a little while ago, someday I have to just say no.

These 2 logs were the worst of it, 4 loads in all from another dying maple.

And of course I've been posting elsewhere in the woodshed about all the wood Asplundh has been leaving on the side of the road in East Granby.

Road trip on Friday, picked up some white oak. The butt on the best log is almost 3 ft, 30" on the small end. Weight of this log is 3300 according to the scale. Plan to mill it into slabs. Other 2 are pretty knotty, destined for firewood pile.

Had a couple trees taken down at work. Tree company was kind enough to leave the logs for me.

Too bad I don't really have room for wood because between here and granby there is a ton of wood on the sides of the roads from asplund
