Just brought over the wood from my neighbors 2 trees he had taken down. The picture shows the first (on the ground) and second trailer load with one more to go. Trailer was the easiest way to go. My wife and I just rolled the cut pieces on the trailer and pull them over to our yard. We brought over the final load today. Next week I'll fire up the log splitter and get this stuff into burning sizes pieces. We don't heat with wood, but on a cold evening in fall and winter my wife likes her fire in the hearth

nice .... we don't rely on our fireplace for normal heat .... emergency (power out) heat yes but a regular fireplace can take about as much heat out of a room as it puts in .... all that being said, we do enjoy watching it burn

I've been cutting some trees lately, but they are mostly Pine. Too small for logs and not the best wood for the house. How is Pine for Fire Pits? There are becoming pretty popular around here. This is Southern Yellow Pine. I would just love to give it away. I have both seasoned and green.

Nice pile of firewood Head, looks like red oak. Makes some nice heat.
No fireplace here, but do have an old Ashley wood heater that is nice on those cold winter days.

CBF, that pine is perfect for the pit or bon fires.
Much to sappy for the inside.

If you're close to a campground take any unwanted wood there. You'll make lots of new friends.

true and a few $$$$'s as well ..

That firewood is about 50/50 red oak and tulip poplar. I get all the pine (southern yellow) I want since they grow like weeds around here. It's perfect for our outdoor fire pit but not inside. Produces too much creosote and I don't want any chimney fires.

in our part of the country Poplar wood burns quickly and won't keep well over a single winter .... for 20 some years I had a second business as a Chimney Sweep so understood on burning pine ....
