Same here. As much as we'd like to be spending a lot of our time splitting for fall 2024, doing so in this above freezing & wet weather would just result in mud on everything and everywhere. And it doesn't look too promising for the 2nd week of this year either.I’ve cut some rounds, but it’s been too warm and too wet to get excited. I split a SxS load today with an axe. A freeze would be helpful so I could get my tractor and splitter back to the wood pile.
As I've completed my 60th trip around the sun, I hear you brother. But the OG and I bundle up with insulated coveralls and get busy in those temps and get things done. Sunshine helps a lot in these circumstances, if not we're not as motivated.My wife and I were going to head up north next weekend to cut some oak. Uh, no. Single digit temps. No way in he!!.

I've no problem WORKING in it. It's getting the cabin warmed up and keeping it comfy that's the problem. LOL.As I've completed my 60th trip around the sun, I hear you brother.

Could you explain the part about the gov and the wood stove industry? I am looking into a wood stove in the future. Interested to learn what your talking about.In our previous episode, we were talking about what the .gov has done to the wood stove industry, the neighbor's shed full of lumber, and ghuns putting his kid to work splitting up rounds.
And go!
The entire conversation revolves around a problem cg21 ran into with his stove. It's all in last year's thread.

a; sell someI may revisit getting a wood stove or boiler installed... not sure I can have enough bonfires to burn this wood...
Same. I have been able to stay out of the mud working down the road..
I have a tree I need identified, burns great. Pleasant smell when cutting it and burning. Only find it close to the edge of the woods.. most I have cut were dead and 6”-10” in diameter. The next one is 40’ tall and 24” in diameter and also dead. I will get pictures of it someday.. on 3rd shift for awhile and have not had much time to spot/work on getting trees marked.
Have a hard maple or two to take down and I have someone on INGO wanting to try out a saw! Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday morning
