Heard that...all the demand for heat over the last week while watching movies and the snow fall has put a dent in my shed too.
Oh OK I was going to say thats not much wood! I also use a bit more over a cord a month, sad to watch all my piles disappearing!

Feeling the Heat
I don't really see it as sad watching piles being used up, more as the fruits of our labor.Oh OK I was going to say thats not much wood! I also use a bit more over a cord a month, sad to watch all my piles disappearing!
Warm house and family and keeping the gas man away is my goal and my scrounging and labor gets me there.
I like to look at it as an opportunity to find more wood and start a fresh stack and reap more rewards from my labor three years down the road.
Couldn't agree more.
being a little ahead on my burning was bugging me so i went after a small load (had to check the ice at the fishing hole anyway). Found a nice, dry western larch - now i will burn January's wood in January.
Split it up a few hours ago and found a huge load of ants in the two bottom pieces - called the chickens in for clean up. Little egg makers did a great job.

Nice dry stack.
Almost as fun to burn it as it is to process it.
Almost
Really fun seeing the heat bill near $0.

It's been a colder winter in Northern New York this year, all that hoarding of the good stuff the past couple of years is paying off, looks like a good old fashion winter so far for us.
