Firewood Hoarder's Club?

[ClanCameron]

So is there a thread for hoarders? What are the ratings - I saw them once, but cannot find them again via search. Trying to see where I 'stack up' in the ratings. What's the link? sorry I gotta bother you guys for this. Lovin'g my Progress for the few cold nights we've had here in South Central MN. Bucked, split and stacked about five cords this summer. And have a back log of about the same. thanks.

All the wood pile threads are for hoarders, I assume?

If the shoe fit we could do a sub forum for cord hordes, etc........it would still be in the wood shed.....

For instance, we could have a sub forum for wood-sheds, one for piles and then let everything else pile up in the regular threads.

Or leave it as is. Most people prefer shorter threads rather than two year old ones......of course, there are a few exceptions to the rule.

Anyway, in my mind, Eric Johnson is/was and will always be the original.

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna be part of the hoarders club! Sadly enough, I've not quite amassed the collection that most of you have.... but if it's any consolation, if I see any downed wood, twigs, Lincoln Logs, etc, etc. they go right on my wood pile. My wife has already advised I've come down with some sort of sickness. And I've done my best to blame all of you here at the Hearth.

HAHha My wife is the same way ! Funny thing is she's the 1st one whining its cold outside ..Honey can we start a fire

Pretty much if you spent any time on here you become a firewood hoarder. It's kind of like spending time in a chocolate factory. Sure some can resist but many, many more must partake in the indulgence. As for as the club part, the wife is for that. She would love to club me every time we drive around and I say "OH LOOK FIREWOOD!"

Ain't that the truth.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

We miss Eric's posts. Wish he was around all the time.

Exactly. I think there's more negative debauchery out there when compared to chopping and splitting firewood.

 

[Defiant]

My wife loves my wood!

That is by far one of the coolest photos I've ever seen.

And a helluva guitarist as well.

So, in summary we have no ratings for kindling fools, cord hordes, stump chumps, pile pillagers, wood weasels, fatwood fools, cord collectors, hoard ho's, wood wimps, soft woodies, wee woodies, fat racks, holz heros or any other permeation of the name. We are, however, highly creative and invite you to give your piles names and captions when you post them....

Ain't it the truth. This is his stash in 2006. 33 cords of Beech that later grew to 45 cords. All hand split.

 

[webbie]

Glad you had the pic. It's not just the amount, it's the care and quality. Sorry, guys, just like my first love (40 year now) no ho (she better not see that) is gonna do the same job....

The dude was/is a machine

The dude was/is a machine

He'd go out and ride his bike 50 miles after the pile was done...

 

[BrotherBart]

Yeah Eric was what caused me to do these two stacks totaling twenty cords trying to catch up. Never caught up with him. And even with a hydraulic splitter it damn near killed me. But his best contribution was finally being the guy that could tell me how to stop my saws from cutting crooked.

Sunny Beech!

Now if you tell me he was also an old goat like me, I'm really gonna feel like a slouch.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

I usually go for a ride then do the stacking.
