In The Woods
Took the splitter and finished splitting the sugar maple I bucked up last weekend then split the sugar maple we brought down last week and added it to the wood we plan on burning this heating season.

Attached are some pictures.

Thanks Thistle, I'll put the moisture meter on sugar maple that was hung up for a couple of years tonight then again at the end of July since I stacked it in this years wood.

Yeah, you see right where Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois meet? Right in that 110 spot? I can confirm those heat index temps firsthand, and today isn't looking any better.

Danno77; only 87 here which makes nice stacking weather.

Sav, the MTD started up on the first pull, can't remember the last time I used it.

Zap, I've noticed the same thing with our splitter. Right now it is in the barn and won't get used until next spring. I expect it to start on the first pull as it usually does. I like that a lot! Pulling on starter ropes is not fun.

Yeah, I wondered about that when you first said you were stacking the Sugar with this year's wood. Sounds like you're pretty confident that it'll be good to go. Have you found that dead Sugar has dried pretty fast for you? What MC did you get on this one, if you've had a chance to put the meter on it yet? I've got a Sugar score coming through today, and if I could burn at least some of it this Winter, that would be cool.
 
Zap, you might want to change your signature soon............

If it's down, buck it when it cools off a bit ;-)

We had some rain last night so the next dry stretch I'll take another reading (first reading was 27-30 percent). Since this was up in the air and dead for two years I'm expecting under 20 percent when we bring it in depending on how the rest of the summer goes.

Plenty of seasoned wood we can use from 4 - 1 year in the stacks our else I never would've put it in this years wood.
