Work Done In 2026

Hemlock is great stuff, splits like a dream. We have hardwoods down here, but I burn it in shoulder season and when I want a quick re-light/heat up. Split it big if you want long burns or just leave it in log form.

How well will it dry in log form?

I dried bunch of bucked rounds in less than 12m, from a 20”+ tree; the stuff im
Burning now is close to two years and is bone dry, even the big 6”x8” splits. I swear I could light the smaller splits with a match.

I may just leave it as logs then, the biggest from this little haul is around 9” diameter with more of it around 5-6”. Or maybe split some of it just for the practice.

I’m sure the smaller rounds will dry quick, the bigger ones I’d proly halve or third, I like em big so they burn a bit longer though.
