Hi,
We installed an Alderlea T5 on Christmas Eve 2010 and it has burned 24-7 until now. This has been one of the best decisions my wife and I ever made together; we have had record low electric bills and bought six truckloads of wood (I'm estimating 2.5 - 3 cords) for $300 which we won't quite use up this year. More importantly we have been WARM!
Here is my question. This winter we decided to have about 15 acres of timber cut and are left with lots of tops, small logs, damaged trees, etc. Better than 80% of this is pine and I'm wondering if this is a viable firewood? From what I have read so far it probably is provided it is cured properly although it may require significantly more wood for the winter.
Also, if anyone is in the extreme northeast TN/SW VA/NW NC area is interested I would be glad to work with you...free firewood for help in cleaning some of this out.
As always, thanks to all the folks on this forum who have provided answers to my question.
Kind Regards,
Dan
