Gosh, I just may have to give some thought to turning off the a/c here? Nah, I will just lay down till that thought goes away.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

STILL wishing I had set one up here, but kept running out of time and cash to get it set up, at least with ground source the expense is lower than conventional heat sources.

 With logs hauled here n then using the correct splitter ,takes !/2 the work out of it . Nephew bought one of these splitters that I trade out my dump trailer for using splitter Was his idea so I agreed .
Split everything right aside wood shed .NO picking off the ground after split .

Well, that’s cool, but not that black thing! The expanded metal cage type thing. And what brand?

Freeguy ,NO !!! been 11 years burning it . Doing the day I only feed it what it needs as my business is right here .I only burn seasoned hard wood n you can see it says DRY. Its like any thing else once u learn the system it works .The guy above me that lights a shop stove in the evening and the dum@$$ burns green and wet wood has a issue with the guy on the south side of him .
Also having the stack at right height helps

Kinda thought so. So, what brand is it, or did you modify it by adding the catch table on to it? Still using the Manuel Armstrong splitter here. Ain't as much fun as it once was.

Thanks for the reply, apparently 98% of the guys burning these "here" are burning green wood  . And it stinks worse than chicken s^*t

When was cutting firewood, first year cuts were stored on other farm for a full winter and summer, seasoned. Then brought out and used or sold. The current conditions I have is seven larger walnut trees we had taken down as 1, TOO close to power lines then 2, had gotten to a size would become useless in a few years for logging and 3, were a few on drainage creek bank root mass washing out. One was already beginning to hollow out at stump and had to be trimmed to solid to sell.
Have maybe 5-6 Cords of Limb wood I need to hack down to firewood size and store up to dry out then can sell next season.
