The thing I learned the first year was to quit splitting the wood into small pieces. LEave them suckers as big as you can. The first year I got to borrow a friend's hydraulic splitter, and Teh Spawn and I went to town without hubby's supervision. We split every darned log into fours whether is needed it or not. That stuff burned up so fast. Not I leave as many logs whole as I can and just split the bigger ones in half. They last so much longer.

Pushing a loaded wheelbarrow up hill is not a good thing it will wear you out. It sure doesn't take long to burn a pile of wood. I have been burning about a wheelbarrow load every day.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-69749047567594932642013-12-18T18:24:47.369-06:002013-12-18T18:24:47.369-06:00You think YOU'VE been going through a lot of w...You think YOU'VE been going through a lot of wood lately! HA! Not only have we had a LOT of snow early this winter (yay!), but frigid temps have come visiting early, too. I can kinda judge how much wood we've been putting through the two stoves in the house by how often I need to clean out the ashes. (Answer: Too dang frequently!) But I will have to quit complaining about pushing wheelbarrows of wood from the wood shed to the house. No hills to struggle up. It's all a flat run at our house. (Thank goodness.) <br /><br />When can I come and split wood with you? I love splitting wood with a wood splitter. ('Tis not too bad doing it by hand either. Kinda makes me feel like I'm Wonder Woman. Or Superman. Or maybe just Arnold Schwarzenegger.)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
