When the loggers had to go back to the lower sections of pines to thin that area they widened the trail going back there to make way for their huge machines. In doing so they cut a number of mature ash trees which they then put aside for me to deal with and use for future wood stove fuel.
I just recently finally got around to collecting them and hauling them out to the area where I block, split and stack any dead or damaged hardwood removed. These ash were not dead when cut so will need to dry out more before they are ready for burning but it may be a while before we get them blocked anyway!
As near as I can figure there is around 12 or 15 cord in this pile which is around two years burning for us as I do supplement my heating with some use of our propane furnace.
