I am in a wood deficit. I'm heading to the cabin in NH this weekend to haul out some dead wood. Anyone need a downed tree or anything removed. Preferably close to Boston and points south. I NEED WOOD.
I know some people don't like to burn it but I've got a few downed pine trees and still a good cord of pine all cut up you can have. I was burning pine in my woodstove towards the end of March and into April. If you're burning at 500-600 degrees, you will never have a build up problem burning pine.

I've also cut up some of the downed trees that have been down for several years, usually some rot at the base section and all the tops/branches have rotted away, but somehow there is a solid core of wood under the mess that burns VERY hot. I've got unlimited amounts of that kinda stuff, cut it up and get it out of the woods and it's free for the taking
