Best time to cut firewood

[Sixgun]

When you run out of wood, you get cold
When you get cold, you panic.
When you panic, you overload your truck.
Don't overload your truck.


Get a trailer

True dat!

One of the only times I've gone out into the forest to cut wood was with Sixgun.

from time to time the craigslist folks will advertise drive up wood gathering. i've always figured you could rent an uhaul open topped trailer and get most of the wood you needed in one trip (assuming you're burning for ambiance and not going through 8-9 cords a year)

Local and cheap wood. pallets / skids. Outside of pulling nails, they are Oak. I miss bucking wood. Went out with the neighbor and his dad one year. 3 saws cutting to 6" lengths 1/2 day, other 1/2 loading and dumping.

If you could figure out logistics from southeast kansas to you, my brother sells oak and hedge fire wood for $60-70 a rick.

Don't burn plywood inside. Probably not outside either.

Plywood is ok. Particle board no ok.

Plywood has the glue right? Where regular "sparks" will come out of the chimney and be gone within a few inches of exiting. Plywood "sparks" will fly out, float around in the air, and still be burning as they settle on the ground. If you have a baffle you'd probably be okay.

I heat my house 100% with wood. We cut all year, for the most part, but if you get a live tree down in the spring it might be ok that winter. 30 days seems a bit short to me. I usually go for the standing dead though. Cut, split, and burn. If you're going into the NF, you should be able to find plenty of standing dead. I plan on doing this myself since I've cut all of the dead stuff on my property. $20 a cord is a steal, as long as you can get to some good wood that's not a PITA to get to.
