not worried about having it done before summer,All the wood will be white ash that has been dead for 3 years. Most the bark falls right off when splitting.

Yeah, it's a bit different down here...done mowed the grass once and needing to today (might get pre-empted by wood cutting). I haven't had the displeasure yet of cutting firewood with leafed out trees, mostly only clear-cut debris. I can see where it would be a pain in the butt. I've decided that this summer I'm going to study hard on my tree identification skills....that's where the leaves will actually help me. Got some field guides, etc., to work with. Might even mark some trees for winter cutting. Once those leaves start poppin' it don't take long to cover a tree Big difference in moving a naked limb and a leafed onesmokinjay said:Intheswamp said:Whatchu talkin' bout????.....it's green everywhere around here :cheese:

Not here! Grass is starting to green up. Been cutting under snow, so its a big Improvement. Still leaves will slow you down quicker than snow.

I need at least 2 for next year, better to have 3, for us, SIL, another SIL.
Then I need Red Oak for the following year for all of us.
Then I need to help rookie gatherer/burner BIL. He's got a weenie Crapsman saw and no experience so I'll have to fell/buck the big ones, haul 'em out with my quad and trailer, and may have to help him split (probably with hydraulics, but trying to get him to learn hand splitting.) And his son is moving out of town for a while. :shut: He's going to need probably 4-6 cords, don't know yet. 1800 sq.ft. house and burning smoke dragoons.
So, not counting BIL, I'm looking at 3cd. x 3houses x 2 years=18 cd. I'd like to get myself 3 years' worth, so make that 21 cd. I really should get them 3 years, too. So make that 27 cd.
I don't think I'll make it before the Redbuds pop. :lol:
rdust said:I have around 11 stacked, about two in heaps split and one in rounds so another cord or two for 2013/2014 wouldn't hurt. I'll have those by the time the 2011/2012 season opens up so I'm not worried about it. I have a decent sized standing dead elm that needs to come down so that will help top of my shoulder season wood for next year.
So in your poll I voted 1 or 2 but that's towards my 2013/2014 wood.

rdust said:smokinjay said:You have 11 cords stacked?
Probably a little more but I never count the poplar towards my wood supply.
Yeah, not happening here this year, either. 3 cd. each is following the advice to have 1.5 x what you think you need. Actually, we could all just about make it on 2 cd. apiece, when I get them new combustors and reseal their stoves. Heck, I made it on ~2 cd. and it was a long, cold winter. The reality is one step at a time, 2-yr supply w/Red Oak in the pipeline (3 yrs for me); 6 cd. for us, 4 cd. each for them, for a total of 14 cd. plus helping BIL. They'll be working too, splitting/stacking so maybe it can be done.smokinjay said:Thats a very tall order. I thought at one point I was going to make a 3 year supply but this winter took that pipe dream away...lolWoody Stover said:make that 27 cd.
7 cords?? :bug: Where do you guys live, in Medieval castles?!!smokinjay said:I am with you. I think 7 would get me there.woodsmaster said:I need 7 cord for this coming winter

Let them pop smokin, we have plenty of wood down. Another two or three years worth.
