Nice! Looks like you got a pre-set snare pole in the bargain. You could launch that coon into downtown Atlanta....

How long with it take to break it all down and stack it. That looks like it could be more than a third fgor a normal family's home. Do you burn wood for the greenhouses too?

That's the way to go! All our firewood is from dead trees in our yard. We had so much, we sold a bunch. We have a fire only when the roof is wet.

We stopped having fires unless we have a party and want it for "ambiance". For awhile I was even cooking in the fireplace, but, wifey wins out on most things of this nature. |

Do you burn wood for the greenhouses too? Got a powerful saw and a sharp chain, cut it into short 8 inch slabs, which split easy with an 8 pound maul. Does not take long but better pace it. It takes a day and a half, maybe longer on that tree. Burn the wood stove 24/7 NOV JAN FEB 1/2 MAR. Wood stove in the basement, and it has 2 foot hand laid walls that hold heat for a while. Stoke it morning and dinner time, so twice a day, it takes 26 inch logs. did another tree last week. may need one more smaller than the one in the video. I was aiming for the tree in the middle of the screen. |

Those "snare poles" can ruin a guys day in a hurry if you're not paying attention. I do envy your hardwoods.

Tricky, if cut under it sticks the saw, if cut on top it can launch the saw. Slowly cut with the tip of the saw on the side is about the safest choice. Timbering in Georgia is the #1 cause of occupational injury and death. Probably over half are from snare/chain saw combinations. Rotten tree tops/limbs coming down are other common causes of injury. This tree died when the sap was up and full of BTU's. Fairly dry to burn but soft enough to cut easy. El primo for the wood burner. Died in drought of 2011. |

When living in Montana and North Dakota,I use to cut and burn wood...Nothing like a wood heat to warm those cold bones....
My brother in law burns wood here in Oregon.....
He usually cuts about 25 to 30 cords in the summer months,stacks it,dries it,for the winter months..
Love the smell of wood burning from the chimneys around the areas here...

The heat is too comfortable from the ole wood burner. smell right there too. 30 cords is a lot, maybe 6 cords here. I am hobby burner. It went down to -2F last winter, coldest we have ever seen. I would guess the high places and areas not effected by the coast get darn cold in Oregon Fossilman. |
