Firewood thread!!! Let's see what you got!!!!

[whitesnake]

Because I cut fire wood at 26" , it's very heavy. I noodle a lot of it down to smaller pieces to carry .

They almost look too nice to burn lol.

 

[I saw a lot]

You boys with your fancy cutting machines, just don't know about you. Very impressive.

Lolol. Feel like I’m livin high on the hog. Bustin’ my asz but it feels good. You know the sayin’.. make hay when the sun shines.

Life is good.

Nothing better than noodling up the giant bases. Nobody wants to man handle that stuff. Well unless you got heavy equipment with splitter attachment. I noodle them. Atleast into quarters at the very least. Depends how large they are.

Would you mess with these white oak chunks?
I'm tempted, but I have no help or equipment besides a Cant Hook, ramps, and a creaky back!
Some backbreaking labor right here...

E Z pickens Reggie. Use your big bar saw and noodle them to manageable sized pieces. Piece of cake. You can do it.

I agree. Noodle it down to manageable sizes. Look into getting a pickup jib crane and a set of tongs, to help with these situations. I used to have one on my car trailer and once the round was on the trailer I just rolled it where it'd need to go. Those cranes are pretty cheap and will save your back.

I like that little trailer. It looks handy........and low to the ground.

Yep. I used a noodled 1/2 and a round to help roll full rounds up into it. I’ve used it hard and shown it no love for years.
Some of those fuggers had to weigh 200.

I would let them know that you will try a few and see how it goes.
On the pieces that are longer than you want for the length of splits, noodle them partially before cutting them to length, it saves a lot of cutting lower to the ground.
Forgot to say; you can make those noodling cuts at around 6-8" apart so that the pieces can then be split easily with a splitting axe or mail once you cut them to length.

Exactly what I was going to say. Much of the free wood I get is the big stuff most people can't handle.

Yessir, noodle away! Let the saw do all the hard work. Lots of good wood there.

I CAN DO IT!!

 

[bradb123]

I would just noodle the logs down to smaller pieces . I have to carry logs out the the woods by hand . Because I cut logs to 26'' I noodle pretty much any thing over 20'' diameter .

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow Brad. I carry my logs out of the woods too, but cut them all to 16" in order to fit in stove and stack neatly. You can do it Reggie. If I lived closer I'd swing by and give you a hand.

Looks like its wishful thinking now!
Messed around and Edna Googled the location and VETOED it with the quickness.
Seems like the "Hood" where the wood is located, is so dangerous that the angels wear body armor!!
