for home heating oil this winter
I used the oil heat in my house maybe 3 or 4 times all last winter...and that's 3 or 4 to many times IMO. 1 gallon of gas for the chainsaw and maybe 2 or 3 gallons in the quad to haul the stuff out of the woods and 0 for a splitter because I'm doing it by hand
Today I cut, split and hauled out 8 trailer loads of firewood from the woods. I'm guessing I have about 2 cord so far and have at least another 2 cord to go to get me through the winter. I'm amazed at just how much wood I can get on this little trailer. All I'm cutting at this point is dead standing and blow downs...and there's probably 2-3 years worth of dead wood scattered around my 13.3 acre forest
This is the pile at the end of the day. Once I add another 2-3 cord to the pile, I'm gonna just let it sit in the pile to dry out...then figuring maybe in September I'll stack it all under the lean-2 on the side of my shed.
