Default Ready for winter

Getting ready for the cold days of winter. Split about a cord of firewood
today. Some mountain ash and some shag bark hickory. The pile didn't go down
much and I'm tired already.


I've got a 5 yr. supply under cover. (Just can't see a down tree going
to waste). Mostly oak & hickory with a half dozen other types thrown
in the mix. My favorite has to be persimmon - burns slow, decent
heat, & reasonable smell. Next favorite would be dogwood for the
same reasons.
