Giant score

Went for Chinese takeout. Got an extra pair of chopsticks. Figure I need to season for 3 years. Getting a good jump on 2015. What a great day!

Be careful & pace yourself.Dont try to process that all in one day.

If you burn it now will the smoke smell like Sweet and Sour chicken???

 

[Maplewoodie]

Any suggestions on a source for tarps or should I leave them uncovered? I need to get some new wedges to split them. Off to home depot. maybe they will have both.

Don't even think about splitting them horizontally! :lol:

Remember to post pics of it after the bucking, splitting and stacking. We like pics.

Now Thistle, you know that Chinese Take-Out only takes about 2 hours to "process"! hh:
As for the chopsticks, well the Chimney Sweep puts bamboo second from the bottom at only 10 MBTU/Cord. http://chimneysweeponline.com/howood.htm Only Balsa is listed as a worse firewood. I bet the fortune cookies would burn like rocket fuel though!

Hope you had your "wood hauler" with you.
A scrounge is a scrounge, always be prepared

PS: You fit in here, always looking for more wood . :lol:

You will just want more one hour after burning it.

I have seen cookstove designs made of coffee cans that will gasify small pieces of wood for efficient cooking. One of the ideas was actually that in Asia there are a LOT of chopsticks thrown out that could be used as fuel.

It sounds silly, but it makes a big difference in the lives of folks in places like that.

The lesson- now you can not only tell kids "there are people starving in China", but "Burn that toothpick, there are people with cold moo goo gai pan in China"
