HUGE Thank You to Dennis!(aka Backwoods Savage)

[rdust]

With it being my first year burning my supply of seasoned wood was coming to end. This last week I was burning oak that was around 30% moisture content. Sure it burned but not like I wanted. I didn't want to end the season just yet so I asked Dennis if he'd be interested in selling me some wood. Today the wife and I loaded up my son and made the drive to meet Dennis and his wife. Dennis hooked me with enough SEASONED firewood to last me the rest of this season and probably enough to carry over to next season.

Dennis and his wife were a pleasure to meet, the kind helpful man you read posts from on this site is the real deal. He's exactly the same in person!

He also took the time to give me the sales pitch for the woodstock stoves. :lol: ;-)

I seen a camera out so maybe he'll post some pictures.

Thanks again Dennis!

Well, what can I say about rdust? One great fellow and he even brought along his wife and son. Naturally the ladies went into the house while we went for a short walk after the work was done.

The first wood we threw on was some that someone else was supposed to have came back after but now rdust has it.

The second stack we tackled was some that had been stacked there for a few years, but I also loaded up the little trailer I use behind the atv to give him a taste of some ash that was cut in the winter of 2008-2009; most have seen some of those pictures of those stacks. When we walked past them, rdust said he remembered seeing those pictures (no need to post those any more).

And the man was concerned that he took too much wood. What a nice guy rdust is! It was a pleasure meeting him and I hope we meet again.

A couple more pics from this morning...

 

[Backwoods Savage]

And here I thought you'd already have it stacked!

I think it's going to get covered and I'll pull from it as needed! :lol: I'll need to free the trailer up in the next couple weeks so it'll be stacked once I get some time. We just finished feeding Johnathan lunch so we have some running around to do now.

Great pictures and nice that you guys got to meet!

 

[rdust]

If Dennis had his way the trailer would have been overfilling and the bed of the truck would also be full! :lol: For the little half ton we had it filled just about right!

Wow that looks like a cord in there! I have always enjoyed Dennis's posts and his wisdom that he gives freely. Would be great to have a get together sometime. There are many here that live near me.. Hmmm not a bad idea.

Wow that looks like a cord in there!

Probably more then that even loose tossed. The usable part of the deck is 16'x7' and the sides are 2' high.

Not surprised at all either. Well done. I always knew that Dennis sleeps good at night.
Cheers you guys.

That is a real nice wood hauling trailer! Even my 6 cylinder F-150 could pull a cord of oak with it.. It is rated to pull 5800 lbs. if memory serves me correct. The hitch weight is only 10-12% of the load weight so no big deal.

I like the econoshed you built so you have any detail pics? I would like create a 1st stage or overflow wood shelter and that looks cheap to build..

What a friggin trailer!

Good to see the inta-webz fostering a new community of sorts. Kicks butt.

 

[Backwoods Savage]

I just wanted to say once again to rdust that you are very welcome.

Also, a big thank you to everyone who posted. Somehow it just gives one a good feeling to be able to help others, especially people like rdust who has a wonderful family. Glad we could help but I still wish I could have thrown some more wood on there....

 

[Jags]

Yeah, that Dennis seems to be a pretty good egg, well.... except that he splits in the wrong direction. :lol:

Jeez Dennis, your gonna have to kick it up a notch to replace all that wood you have been letting go of. With all that extra work, you might want to throw a pillow on that seat of yours. Oh, and get your wife a new pair of gloves too. :lol:

Ha,ha..just yanking your chain. Its pretty awesome that you guys hooked up for the firewood. Win-win.
