First big score

[ChoppingAccountant]

My old boss was cutting down 24 jack pines around his house that were starting to pose a danger. He said there were all small and he thought he had about a cord in total. This is what I ended up with when all was said and done. Also, another friend at work called this weekend and wanted to get rid of a dead stand, so we filled up the back of my S-10 with some oak as well.

Now I just need to get a stove. Hauled the old one out on Sunday.

NIce score for a first score. Looks more like a cord and more to me. Enjoy.

Looks like you found some logs to work on! Nice!

Really nice score, I could use a load of pine like that.

That's a lot more than a cord. More than 2 cord- maybe 3.

That's a lot more than a cord. More than 2 cord- maybe 3.

Hard to tell from the angle, but I think you're close. Wouldn't be surprised if that topped out at 3 cords once split and stacked.

Great score.
Now you can have some fun.

You must be pretty serious about wanting to get into burning wood. Did I read that right? You don't have a stove yet? I'll be honest, I like your style.
Get it split/stacked and started drying. You're really moving in the right direction.

A cord is just what he told me he had before he cut it down. I am not good at judging, but I have guess it is a minimum of 2 cords. If you look at the background you can see the cab of my S-10 peeking out, for reference, it is parked directly behind the stack.

Quads - yup, I finally found my logs.

rsgBJJburner - you read that right, don't have a stove yet. Last fall when I starting looking for a stove everyone on the forum said they had problems when they first started out not having seasoned wood, so I have been trying to get ahead. Hope to get a stove in the next month or so and then start burning in the fall.

Awesome!
Good luck buddy. Looks like you're off to a really good start!

Nice score, that Jack Pine will be good for the shoulder seasons or to mix in with the Oak.

Funny thing... Today I picked up the first of what will be four or five half ton loads of pine. It was the first call from the wood service I set up with a few weeks ago.... I figured as much as I would rather not burn pine/spruce/etc I don't want to be picky when I have such a good thing starting. The really cool thing is that the wood is ten minutes from my house, it is stacked neatly where I am picking it up and it is clean as clean can be.

Here's to wood scrounged and scoring!
