Burned just as hot as oak and actually left less ashes. Burns very well....its only downfall is its a bit stringy when splitting. With my kinetic splitter I just added a little piece that goes past the wedge and no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger** Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 A few years ago you could have had all the wood you wanted for free in some areas of northern Wisconsin all you had to do is go get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi load of cut 8' clean wood you cut down for $750.00. Guys in southern Wi would love to buy it from up north Wi but we have a three-county rule in the state of Wisconsin due to the ash borer disease. I should have said face cord but still its a great price. I thought you were in the "Meat Industry" your whole life AKA "The Meatman" so now you're "The Logger Man" too????? How many other industries have you been in your whole life??? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin george Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I sold my 25 ton splitter instead of hauling it from Ont to Nova Scotia. I'll buy another when the time comes next year so I don't have to swing an axe or maul. Getting too old for that now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of ours owns this place he started, I don't have a Pellet stove but could get a deal on them if I did. https://woodpelletreviews.com/lumber-jack-wood-pellets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 17, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 17, 2022 Cord of wood has 20-30 million BTU capacity or around 50,000 per $1 (25 million) Heating oil about 139,000 btu per gallon. Current heating oil is around $6.00 gal. BTU per $1 is 23,166. Propane is about 91,500 btu per gallon. Current LP is $2.00/ gallon or 45,750 btu per $1.00. Electricity 1 kwh is 3400 btu. 1 kwh 15.5 cents. $1.00 per 21,930 btu. $500 per cord still seems cheap or inline compared to some energy sources and expensive compared to others. Obviously system efficiency not considered here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry I was a logger before I got in the meat biz, yes I'm that old. I thought you had me on ignore? I'm in the logging industry, I too have planted trees when I was younger and older, I also cut, split & stacked firewood........ How many logging trucks do you own?? How many log skidders do you own?? Chainsaws, splitters etc?? You know stuff that's actually used in the logging industry?? So using Badger Logic 101 , I'm in the following industries, a logger, landscaper, grass cutter, brick, block, concrete, painter, carpenter, electrician, HVAC, plumber, heavy equipment operator, doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, Butcher/meatman, chef, fisherman, boat captain, truck driver, automotive & power sports mechanic, Oh my god the list goes on and on and on with all of the industries I've been involved with my whole live...... Oh the very best one is the Porn Industry............. As for the Ignore feature...... Wellllll when someone quotes your wonderful posts I can still see them and read them and I just had to ask you about the logging industry your whole life thing because this is the very 1st time you've claimed you have been in the logging industry your whole life vs the Meat Industry........

Mag6240 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Can I claim to be in the logging industry, when back in the 80's I cut 200 chord a summer for a few years to pay for college?
