So, I did a little reading on firewood, this is what I found to be the general consensus among those who use firewood as their primary fuel source. There are some woods and plants you should never burn indoors. Softwoods, ie evergreens, conifers and soft deciduous like Larch. They burn too fast and produce excessive smoke containing soot and creosote that can cause chimney fires. Softwood may be burned outdoors in open pits for heat but should not be cooked over. Under any circumstance, do not burn pressure treated lumber, any plant or tree that has the word poison in it's name, poisonous plants that don't have poison in it's name, like foxglove or oleander. Driftwood contains a surprising amount of toxins. Rotted wood will off-gas mold, mildew and bacterial toxins. Green wood, aka unseasoned firewood, contains a lot of water and sap. It will not burn efficiently, the fire will not get hot enough to produce complete combustion. The byproduct of incomplete combustion is excessive soot and smoke. Green wood will also hiss, snap, crackle and pop more, increasing the risk of throwing glowing embers out of the fire. Firewood should be seasoned for a minimum of six to nine months. The best time to split wood is during winter months when the air is driest. Logs split in humid seasons will retain, or even absorb moisture and are prone to fungus and mold growth. The ideal length for logs is 18 inches, and logs greater than 12 inches in diameter should be split into pieces no smaller than 4 inches in diameter. Larger logs are cut and split so that they will fit into a stove, fireplace or pit. The length and diameter of split wood is subjective and dependent on the application. Some degree of uniformity in length and diameter helps with regulating burn rate. Processed firewood is typically 4-6 inches in diameter. Fatter logs may be used for longer overnight burns, conversely, thinner logs are used to make a very hot fire for boilers and other high heat applications such as blacksmithing. Now, the question of the day; To split, or not to split? Un-split logs are known as "rounds". Depending on the size of a fireplace or fire box door, rounds may be as wide as 12" in diameter. Rounds have less surface area, so they do not burn as fast. Rounds in the 4 to 6 inch range are generally preferred over split wood in the same size range. Whether or not to split an 8-12 inch round is a matter of preference.

I think its just another example of how money-hungry NJ has become. Rather than be like the rest of us and live within our means, they want to tax-and-spend.

Thanks. I enjoy doing the brisket for y’all!

I miss the good old days of face to face sales.

I think that Arizona sunshine is making you a little hostile....

Non sequitur. I never said I was okay with it, or any of the anti 2A BS for that matter. What I did say was the order is for show only. How many CCW holders are there in NJ? Most of them are judges, prosecutors, demonrat fat cat campaign contributors (ya, no quid pro quo going on there). Smurphy may as well add denial of insurance to everyone that owns nukes. The thread title is misleading, suggesting that everyone who owns guns cannot get insurance, when it only affects people with a CCW.

Is everyone sure it's not Pierre Delecto?

protip: SCOTUS is not big on hearing all viewpoints, that's what the paperwork is for. Most people who want to speak during oral arguments are told to go pound sand. The solicitor general gets to. It is literally his job. The solicitor general LITERALLY has an office in the supreme court building. They also appear before the court more frequently than anyone else. Saying that because the solicitor general gets to speak, we need to hear out every fucktard who can file an amicus brief is stupid. It's stupid no matter the subject matter of the case. It is nearly as stupid as suggesting that because there's a conservative jsutice showing up and speaking, that we need to let all voices from the left be heard there. You can read the pile of shit argument here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/18-280/112062/20190812163502955_Amicus Brief of Corpus Linguistics Professors and Experts.pdf I will put forth as something to keep in mind with regard to their argument this question: Do we generate more documents, especially the government, with regards to the machinations of war, or with regard to Farmer ted running around with his hunting rifle? Because the entirety of their argument is that because the majority of written use is referring to one context, nothing written down could be of another context. Despite the fact they slyly admit that not all usage was referring to a military when discussing the bearing of arms. It would be kind of like me arguing you can't be an artist without being famous and citing as evidence the sheer pile of news, media postings, etc. that refer to famous musicians and actors and such as artists and then saying there are lots more of those occurrences than other uses of the word artist. Thus, first amendment protections on art as free speech should only apply to artists that are famous because that is the most prevalent use of the work and thus its dominant meaning in all cases. Which is total bullshit. It's a gun grabbing academic smelling their own farts and telling you they smell fine. It also completely ignores the fact that even if you do accept that bearing arms was primarily used in a context discussing military entities, you are talking about the context of a document written at the time where the only military was supposed to be the people. We weren't supposed to have a frikin standing army. So what frikin military were they reserving that right to?

This is a great point. And frankly, aren't there an estimated 80-100M gun owners in the country? And yet, the last I heard, the NRA had only... 5M+ members? Can you imagine if they had 25M members? Damn! And, can you imagine if they - on occasion - did campaigns that were coordinated with and even promoted by the other pro-2A groups (like GOA) ...instead of them bickering with each other as is most often the case? You see these other groups on the gun control side being all lovey-dovey and uber-cooperative with each other... we need to be doing the SAME thing! I truly think part of the problem is mindset. The whole act of being a gun owner requires a certain element of self-reliance/independence - although those are arguably good traits, I think those same traits sometimes interfere with being a "good follower", because good followers need to be compliant. This presents challenges from a social organizing perspective, I think, for the pro-2A side.

I dismissed this as balderdash. Pacific north west is all pine. Burn em hot, dry, ergo split. And seasoned for at least 6 months.

Are you answering a question with a question? But to answer your question yes. Even if someone posts inaccurate info they are corrected by someone elce in the thread. I can not recall an instance when inaccurate info has been posted about gun laws here and it was never corrected.

He knew nothing can compete with your brisket. Except may be your ribs. Damn they were good!

My copy was lost in a move, but I'm positive the date was well before the rules changed...

This is most certainly true. The 1st is certainly a fine example of that i.e. the message in speech is core and thus can’t be restricted however restrictions time, place, manner etc can survive intermediate. My hope would be they would expound on what is considered “core” to the second amendment and if core strict scrutiny applies. Surely no slam dunk here but given they are holding other cases I think it is reasonable to think they are doing so because they believe the opinion here will impact them thus this will have a broader impact than just transport.

The story is likely bullshit. Aluminum-air batteries have been around since the 80s as ev batteries. if problems can be fixed with them without negatively impacting power density, they would have longer range at the same weight. that being said, right now there is a ton of money being thrown at differing chemistries by auto makers, data centers, etc. If this didn’t have real issues people would be throwing tricks of money at buying him out rather than shunning the guy.

Thank you. @gleninjersey is acting like an unpatriotic communist! only socialist don’t split their wood! Cause they lazy

Where is the ‘facepalm’ emoji when you need it...

But logs dont fit in wood stoves split wood does

well if you knew the person before....lol

Is that the rifle you got, or one like it? That is a thing of beauty! There is no reason not to display it if you wish! As long as no children will have access and it's out of view from any window where strangers and potential thieves could see it.

That’s @Mrs. Peel new bestie . Obv.

Maybe next time I’ll make these:

Firearms in NJ will always have that factor of wrong place wrong time. And yes, they would love to make an example out of someone. I used these mag blocks and epoxied them to the base plates.. hoping one day I can break them free.

Yeah she was! I think she’s hooked. Now to get her shooting rifles and handguns...that’s our new mission!

@Smiles31 was a natural clay busting machine!

Jeebus man! What is wrong with you!

The gun shop on broad and market, You know the Eldorado trunk? Their prices haven't changed. Just no serial #. Those are the ones Trenton doesn't tax!

You must have eaten the rib soup.

Gimmie a few bus loads of Democrats I can pay to protest and we'll get RESULTS! Ask gun owners to protest and all they want to do is show-up on a weekend when no one is in Trenton, AND it can't interfere with their weekend PLANS! Ask gun owners to go protest and we'll need toilets on the buses, exotic diet waters, gluten-free snacks and door-to-door transportation. Half will bail on you if it's colder than 60 or warmer than 78 degrees. Martin Luther King HAD A DREAM! Here's mine: One out of 10 NJ gun owners joins the Coalition & stays a member! That's 100K gun owners at $50 per = $5 MILLION bucks a year in just dues. After administrative costs, wearables & postage you'd still have over a MILLION $ annual budget (I'm being conservative here) just for Public Relations, Billboards, Radio spots, etc., etc. What everybody on this forum has to ask themselves is when their dues are DUE so they don't lapse. Cause the sumbitches should ALL be members (like YOU are) already, RIGHT? ~R

So, what was the point of your first post? There is no statement or question by you. Only a link, which is cearly in violation of the rules. @Mrs. Peel Seeing that you directed it to another member, this could have taken to a PM. Oh I get it now, you're the Class Clown. Owned. Beotch.

Do it. His depends need change

Is this the sniper post whore tinfoil forum? my bad he’s the leader. Such an insightful... helper . or a deranged lunatic behind a keyboard that wears tinfoil to close to the microwave. i know the answer to this

Sue video? Can I watch?

I hope you did't pay$ 2,900
