I only cover mine when im expecting snow. I stack mine on racks 1ft off the ground roughly 4ft deep and 12ft long. In full sun to where the wind blows through the stack. Red oak roughly square dries to 16-18% moisture from spring tio fall. Moisture will continue to drop throughout the drier winter
You cannot completely fill anything propane cylinder. There needs to be room for expansion due to temperature. Obviously you're either very lucky or the hardware store is lying to you. If that is 100% full and the pressure relief valve hasn't let off pressure, then you're literally standing next to a bomb.

have you had any issues with motor lock on your wen or bolt hard? i have a super handy it will split anything i throw at it but it keeps having motor lock
@@OldSoulMillennial i can split about five peices of wood sometimes more sometimes less and i'll go to turn it back on and soon as i do the motor won't kick on you can just here it humming and i'll press the start button multiple times then it will finally kick on then trip the breaker
Can I throw a conundrum at you? Douglas Fir, being a fir is a softwood, no one can argue otherwise. Here is the conundrum: Douglas Fir has been used in shipbuilding in Washington and British Columbia as the RIBS ( structural strength ) of the ships which is normally only ever hardwoods. So, if it is a softwood that can be used structurally as a hardwood is it a softwood or hardwood in a fire?
I had 20 pines cut down last year, planning to burn them this year. Will start the fires with alder then throw in pine. Low moisture no matter the wood is key. But also, a hot roaring fire in a high efficiency stove produces little creosote. Much of the resin and smoke is combusted and gets converted to heat
I got tired of messing with tarps and built a firewood shed this year. I'm happy with how it turned out. Painted corrugated metal roof and stained cedar siding. Should hold 3 cords and can be extended
@@danielanderson1417 Good catch! I muted it out. When uploading a video to RU-vid, there are around 12 categories of sensitive topics that come up. As a creator, I must check off any sensitive subjects that I talk about or film. Checking off many of these categories results in demonetization. Thus, sometimes I just censor myself out to avoid issues. It’s rather sad. This is a limited free speech platform. Regardless, thanks for watching!
I have a 21hp Briggs and Stratton engine on my mower. I have to replace the head gasket on a regular basis. Get very little use between changes. Any suggestions on how to replace the gasket that will last?; Any suggestions are appreciated
I have a cabin in northern Washington County NY on the VT border. There are winter times when we arrive and it's 20 F outside and 35 inside. I always keep DRIED pine to get the fire going and feed it for 1/2 to an hour. It gives off its energy very fast and heats the cabin MUCH faster than oak, maple, cherry etc. I used to start it and feed it with the hardwoods but they take forever to give off their heat. Of course once a coal bed is established and the pine has warmed the cabin I start feeding hardwood. Try it! You'll see what I mean.
Measuring an energy source like firewood by the face or full cord is possibly deceptice and highly inconsistent. The BTU content in wood is determined by its weight regardless of species. What should be measured is both its moisture content and weight. To be consistent and fair selling wood by the ton or pound is the only real way of determining what you get in return for your money spent. I can't understand why the average American firewood producer, retailer or consumer hasn't worked this out.
We had a giant ponderosa pine taken down that was threatening our cabin. I processed it and have been burning it for three years, both at home and at our cabin with no problems. We just had the chimney cleaned, and all we had was a bit heavier ash build up. The ash was very dry. No creosote at all.
