I played with my wood today.


Mostly just moved it around while the ground was frozen again. The little 884 did very well with the little red wagon ! May need to pump up the rear tires a bit but they survived lol

Tree guy came threw with white oak…I take the maple most people dont want so he brings the good stuff too, love being able to just cut at home!!!

Got bark?
Shop cast iron fireplace loves it, as such so do I!


I even pick up the "smalls" (bucket) off my firewood processing area, it all burns.

Only one little rotten piece of walnut in there on the right, everything else is Turkey Oak bark

My current supply of firewood, should be sufficient for 4-5 seasons.


I know, I gotta get the splits off the ground!
I am working up to it...

In my area if you leave it in a big heap for the year in the mud you can then call it “seasoned” and sell it off for $370 a cord

Here they sell split mouldy green beech and oak as seasoned , 1.7 cubic meter stack pallets (outer pallet measurements!) for 170€!

I'll just stick to purchasing firewood logs, thank You.

What do the logs cost Wilhelm?
I pay $2300 for a truck and a pup which nets me about 12-14 saleable cord then another cordish of undesireable firewood (cookie, cut offs, etc)

I just checked yesterday as a coworker asked me about firewood log prices.

Last year it was 42€ for beech per cubic meter including delivery.
See my sig for conversion!

The last time that I bought a truck and pup trailer load was in 2016. At that time it was $90 a cord. Depending on the size of the oak logs, a full load was about 12-13 cords. I'm very fortunate now that I have property to cut on that I can take as much firewood as I want!

I'll post this here seeing how I have cut a lot of firewood from this scrap pile. I got a call from one of the landowners son in law this afternoon that he was going to burn one of the scrap piles up. This pile is in a pasture that was converted into tillage land last spring. They want the pile gone and it's cheaper to burn it than move it. It's a lot of wood to burn! He told me bring some beers and enjoy the fire. It's probably 30-40 cords of wood.

Usually truck and a pup is cheaper than what people want for standing wood.
The only time it’s free for me is when it’s a big tree or the wood is split between the land owner and I.
I’ve been a part of burns like that, probably felt the heat where you were standing?

It's great to see the variety of tree species people use for fire wood around the world, looking forward to more pics.

I totally agree with you about the cost effectiveness of buying a load of logs. That's what I did years ago. The firewood for the landowners owb that I cut is pretty easy to do. Whether it's blowovers or dead standing trees, all I do is block them up to length. His nephew brings the tractor out to split and haul to the wood shed. I don't buy truck loads for my cabin because I can take all I want from this property. I have a small trailer but once I open my cabin up for the season I haul wood up most weekends so it adds up. I might also add that I love harvesting whole trees for firewood! It's enjoyable for me just to be out in the woods cutting up trees! There's also drawbacks to this, such as bugs, thorns , tripping over sticks and brush.

You always have to drink two on Your breaks, for balance and stuff!

In regards to bugs, tune rich & ad twice the amount of oil to Your mix.

I drink beer everyday, but not while running chainsaws.
