Drying Firewood

[SensibleNick]

That is very nice. You have to love too split I love to take a big old knotty and work it to get all the split wood out of it I can. The state I live in you have cords 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft ranks are 4 ft x 8 ft x 16 inchs. I love to test ideas got one send it

So far all my splitting has been done with my trusty Hultafors splitting axe... At the moment I look at splitting machines and think "pffft - should do it by hand like REAL men" ... and once I've made my splitter I'll look at the axes and probably think "for people who don't know how to build splitters"

... Watching programs like "swamp loggers" and "extreme logging" the word "chord" comes up a lot: I always thought that it was a "big log" ... It's amazing what you learn on this forum

My woodshed and stove are made in feet and inches. My axes and splitting mauls are in pounds. I have no place to use metric firewood nor any way to make it. If I ever did make it, it would be for the export market.

Do I sense a little metric fear?

My point was that we buy by physical measurement of the space taken by the wood, and the measurement is usually one of two ways: dumped or neatly stacked.

But don't worry: if your tools and toys are in imperial measurements, they'd still cut and burn metric wood: they'd just do it more accurately

I use both sides of the tape measure, and still describe things in inches when it suits me, but for accuracy and to avoid crazy fractions, it's just easier (for me)

Each to their own eh? :thumbsup:

Terror is more like it. You know what we do with terrorists around here, don't you? We put them where 30 degrees is cold!

Would that be 30 Degrees C, F or K? :laughing:

30 C degrees is pretty toasty if you ask me:laughing:

I tried going metric once, but I got tens.

They are the Illinois people that check to see if what your selling is what your full rank or a cord. I live in the middle of a state owned park that covers southern Illinois

Thanks so the park police come and check you out. Can you sell firewood cut from trees in the park? Maybe that's what they are checking on if you can't

:

Millikilometrophobia is the fear that your johnson measured in inches will correspond to the same number in centimeters. This was what was found to be the leading cause of why the US didn't conform to the metric system.

Would scare the heck out me.:laughing:
