Either their houses are cold, or they are paying an enormous amount on money. Well, if your neighbors are snowbirds, you just run a couple extension cords over from their place to plug in your space heaters. I have found this can be very economical. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishnut 2,358 Posted October 24, 2019 Well since were kinda on the topic of firewood. I'm in the market for a splitting tool.

This is why you don't split wood. It won't get sick and infected from splitting it. it's not cured. it's seasoned. I season my wood usually 2 to 6 months. I've got about a cord left over from last year, which I think is gonna go up like balsa wood. I used to save the bark to use for kindling. it sucks. I don't like the way it burns, and it's a pain in the dick to get the bark to light. I gather twigs outta the yard for kindling now, those things go up if you just look at em with a match in your hand. I use dryer lint to get everything started in the stove. that shit's borderline scary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
