Well lets see...Ya got yer' junk firewood. Ya got yer' slightly green firewood. Ya got yer' slightly damp firewood.
Ya got yer' starting size firewood. Ya got yer' well cured firewood. Ya got yer' easy to come by small round firewood.
But for these mornings, ya need to break out your primo slab firewood. A piece you would normally split, but for
mornings like these. I love to have some nice piles out of the weather. It's like money in the bank except better.

I got sweet gum, hickory, an red oak..i call it..i cut it to the correct size until i got a little lazy an some of it wont hardly fit in the insert farwod🤠

Ya got yer’ neighbors fire wood. Which burns really good.

My son's been wheelbarrowing wood for me for 3 days.all very seasoned
Luckily most is hickory and white oak

I forgot that one !

I don’t have the first stitch of firewood so far. It’s been so damn hot up until now we haven’t needed one. Guess I will try again next year

I bought a load last week. I’d have gotten more satisfaction from throwing that $80 in the fireplace and lighting it on fire. It was seasoned alright, to the point of near rotten.

If anyone has a lead on some GOOD firewood in Jefferson/Shelby county area, which is what I would call seasoned AND dry, please let me know.

Nothing fancy here. Just plain old white/red oak and hickory. Years past, oak, hickory, cherry, locust, ash, even crab apple for a year (it’s the shucks if you can split it). Haven’t ran a non-wood heat source since 2005

It’s pretty warm. 74 degrees in the house this AM but I was lazy and only fired at 9pm the night before.

Cut all my own. Probably have $100 a year in it for chains, fuel, oil, beer, etc

If you cut, split, and stack it yourself…(as long as you’re being safe) it does a body good to get some great workouts. Calms the mind and soul when I’m cutting firewood. The heat in the winter, the great campfires with others or alone with nature and my maker, and saving on fuel bills is just bonus points.

We heat our cabin with wood. I usually split all my own wood. I try to have at least a cord split by fall. None of mine can be over 16" or it won't fit in our little firebox. I mostly burn hickory, oak and maple. Any long splits or pine I have we burn it in the outdoor fire pit. I have a separate covered stack for that under the entrance deck close to the fire pit.

Under the lower back deck I have one continuous covered stack that is about 24' long x 7' high. Which is about 218 cubic feet of firewood. Unless it's really a cold winter like this winter, this will usually last us all winter. I think we've used about 1/4 of that so far this winter. Once I get the cabin up to temperature I can put a split on about every hour and it maintains a pretty cosey house.

I have three wooden boxes that are about 16" long x 14" wide x 14" deep. They have handles on each end and stack. I use these to take and load up with firewood. I usually keep all three full and stacked by the fire place.

One of the best additions I have made is a Kindling Cracker. I have mine mounted on a vertical log and I can process a bunch of kindling pretty damn quick with it. I liked mine so much we gave several of our friends one for Christmas this year.

Another one of the things I do to make it quick and easy to get a fire started is I keep a Mason jar full of cotton balls soaked in 91% alcohol over by the mantle. I use one of those between two small splits with some pencil and thumb sized kindling over the top and I can have a roaring fire going in about the time it takes me to make my coffee.

Heating with wood is pretty easy once you get used to it.

I live in a 1680 sq. foot log Cabin and heat exclusively with the largest "Buckstove Brand" Wood Heater that they make (Up to 24" wood will fit). I built a splitter on a three-point hitch that runs off the tractor. I love to rebuild/make run Vintage Chainsaws. They're all BIG/Heavy built in the 70's/early 80's. A Gear Drive Homelite and a McCulloch....both have bow Bars. 2 Midsize Pioneers----one with Bow Bar and other with straight Bar. Haul quite a bit of tree length on a 24 foot trailer from Building Sites around Auburn....Bring home...cut to length....split and stack under pole barn. Also sell some along the way. Hickory....Pecan....Red Oak....Water Oak. Find "Fat Lighter" stumps in the woods and split them for kindling. I'm semi-retired and it's fun/enjoyable/gratifying work to me......

My dad had some of them old saws. He bought a new Stihl 044 and we upped our firewood game. Sold and traded a bunch of it for hunting rights or sold the loads and put it towards hunting. When I was growing up, that’s how we got to hunt and go on hunting and fishing trips was side jobs. Cutting grass, firewood, and working for some farms.
