"OSLO — The TV program, on the topic of firewood, consisted mostly of people in parkas chatting and chopping in the woods and then eight hours of a fire burning in a fireplace. Yet no sooner had it begun, on prime time on Friday night, than the angry responses came pouring in. "..................
Looks pretty important to me like the toilet paper quandry, flap in or flap out. Or even more important, beans in chili.
Flap out convert, and beans belong in chili here. BTW, Bark down.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Having cut, chopped, split and sold firewood of every species in just about every ecotype in this country (including the wet Northern Coasts and the dry Rockies) I can say something with confidence.
You don't need to stack your firewood unless you are looking for something to do, especially in CO where it practically comes dry from the tree. When I sell firewood locally, I don't even cut it or split it till someone calls me. I then split it right into the truck and deliver it. It is dry already (pine beetle dead wood).
But whatever makes you feel good is right, that is what wood is for, making you feel good in your home. I tell people in the NE that people in CO are burning pine and they simply don't believe me. Firewood is more regional than the names for things you put on the top of pickup truck beds.
You can say it with confidence but that does not make it right. I will concede that in this environment downed dead wood MIGHT be ready to cut, split and burn the same day. OTOH, I have seen (and tried to burn) downed dead wood that had a higher moisture content than when it was green.
