I just finished putting up the last of this year's firewood. Thought I'd share and ask you to post yours.

Nice! I will take a pic of mine today. It sure feels good being all stocked up with wood doesn't it! Like money in the bank or food in the freezer.

Not mine but it's a very clever way to stack the wood.

Indeed Jimmy...I'm sure to allot of you guys, mine is rather small beans but it's just enough to heat the family room.

Every year before I get started....looking at the uncut/unsplit pile it always seems like much more work than it turns out to be. Maybe I won't be saying that in a few more years though..:laughing:

It does not get very cold here and we seldom have any snow. The river and sea shore only froze twice in the last 20 years. But we still need some wood to keep warm, we mostly use cypress.

Somewhere around 40 cords. All Black Locust except for 4 cord Willow.

splitting.jpg


6-7 cords B. Locust waiting to be split and added to the big pile.

This is really cheating. I am retired and cutting wood is my recreation - out there at least once/week all spring/summer/fall. That is the accumulation of 3 years and my winters supply is already under cover. Trying to build a 'retirement stash' for when I get too stove up to do it anymore, 75 now and that time is coming on fast.

The B. Locust is due to the Locust Borer. It hit here about 10 years ago and is killing everythign to the West of me. Just finished Friday clear cutting a farmstead (that pile wating for splitting is from there).

Of course some of my neighbors think I am crazy, the rest _know_ I am.

I burn allot of choke cherry here and it smells a little like pipe tobacco. I imagine burning cypress must have an aroma as well.
