Cut split and stacked 1 1/3 cords this weeked of pen oak. Neighbor had three big pen oaks fall in a storm. Said i could have one. Then Called yesterday and said i could have all. This was yesterdays work.

Then he said there was another further down the field i should get. Ill have plenty of wood 3 winters from now. Have wood this year. But nothing dry for next year.

Lot of BTUs in those rounds. Nice score.

I have a bit of the same problem. Plenty of ash and black locust that should be real nice in a couple years, but nothing for next year. I'm going with the same plan from this year - softer stuff, like soft maple and poplar (blech!) split small. Split all of that in spring/early summer, and it's already good to go - sub 20's on the MM. So that's the plan for next year as well.

Nice wood, easy to split, good burning.

I used to kill myself and lift rounds like that. Now I noodle them or use the tractor if available. Not worth wrecking your back.

I agree. We put a round at the tailgate. Then would flip another onto it. Then flip it onto the tailgate. The only one we actually had to pick up was the last one.
