This years wood finished

[Molsonc1]

Finished splitting 5 bush cords of ash maple beech and oak. Just got to bring it into garage now

How does one measure a "bush cord"?? I have heard of this before seems like a term from the great white north.

If that’s this years wood, prob should have split it last year, at least. Especially the oak, two years minimum for that. Three if your able.

The ash and beech was dead standing, maple was split last year and oak will sit for awhile.

Beautiful! I didn't know y'all had oak trees up there. I have spent a lot of time in southern Ontario and northern BC, didn't see any oaks.
Saw moose and pine trees, and, of course, maple.

Lots of oak in northern Ontario. My favorite is beech though

Northern Ontario. Do you have the black flies?

What is the temp on a good cold January day up there?

In May the black flies will pick you up and fly you away. -20 to-25c is a good day for a fire in January

May even have to put a coat on to go outside
depends on the wind
