Today's Scrounge--post the free btu's

[Kevin Weis]

Yes, it's pretty wide spread now. MD Dept. of Agriculture put a trap on one by my house a few years ago to get an idea of hoe wide spread it is. Loggers in the area are taking them out now to get what they can out of them. May end up being Chestnut Blight II? Kevin

Well this is yesterdays scrounge so maybe off topic but I got the single biggest firewood load I've ever hauled with the 350 and my little 6x10, both were quite overloaded, days like this make me wonder if I should have opted for the DRW. Rear axle was sitting on the timbren looking bumper thingy, but it was within 5 miles of back roads to my house so I just took it easy on the way back. Wanted to get what I could while the gett'n was good! Mostly cherry, with a couple logs of elm in there too and small bit of osage.

Yeah that’s a lot of nice wood. I like the Ford too.

It’s not up here yet but it is in parts of southern to mid Wisconsin. They say our extreme cold we get up here where it can get down to -38 or so in the winter help kill the larvae but they will eventually adapt to it.

Contractor cut down some 200+ year old oaks and all I had to do was for the logs out of the pile with the skid steer.

I think I have about 18,000lbs judging from truck and trailer squat. Almost all Bur Oak.

As delivered....cut into nice rounds, and I am expecting some Log length soon. These guys told me they will call to drop when they are in the area, my regular guy drops whole logs, so now I have two trees guys delivering.....may become a problem. His truck got stuck in the mud, had to pull him out with my truck

 

[Beer Belly]

Not sure what just got dropped....my guess, Birch, Ash and Maple ?.....all free

 

[Mojappa]

planning to take Thursday off to get some scrounging done in the neighborhood. Should be easier with less traffic since I can't get fully off the road where I'll be loading. pics to come

Scored a truck load of black walnut today. Going back for some sweet gum. Probably another truckload. Already cut in 15" rounds just have to split and dry.

 

[aaronk25]

Almost feel guilty free and they loaded it too!

All done!

I don’t know if you have a splitter but if someone wanted me to take their sweet gum I would charge them $1000.

Redirect them to our place. Thanks.

Not sure what it all is yet but here’s today’s haul. Was anticipating getting more but lost time meeting a guy across the street asking if I could park in his driveway while I loaded. Turned into an hour of talking to him, checking out his house (which has a fireplace and a second fireplace in the bedroom 25’ away or so that share the first fireplace’s chimney. I wonder what the horizontal run looks like but glad to not have made it upstairs) and helping him cut up a little bit that he had laying. Upside is I can use the driveway to more easily retrieve the rest.

Pin OAK!!' Good day, now to get it split so it can start drying. I've never burnt pin oak but hoping it's as good as the other oaks I've burnt.

Just as good as any other oak save maybe for White. Kevin

 

[Modenacart]

Got a load of red maple.

So my friend dropped by with his new dump trailer.... picture looked like the wood was a little smaller than it was

The piece in the front of the picture almost rolled into the neighbors house.... oops!

Shouldn’t have any problem seeing that trailer in the dark. Some pretty good sized chunks there.

 

[JimBear]

If there was even a remote possibility of anything rolling into my neighbors house, I would be finding myself a new homestead. I can see my neighbors homes. 1 is about 1/2 mile away the other 2 are about a mile away & they are too close for my liking. The wife says I am a bit of a curmudgeon & a hermit, I tell her I am not maybe just occasionally obstinate, cantankerous & sarcastic.

 

[Dobish]

i had to turn this one down today

 

[Slocum]

I'm not familiar with Siberian elm but that looks a lot like black locust to me

It is a fine wood to burn! Burned 2 cord of it this past season and have 5 cord of it CSS out back for 2020
