Roadside Firewood....Boom or Bust???

[@JelenOutDoors]

Nice find John. I would grab all of the wood regardless of the moisture content. Your going to split and dry it for a bit anyway. I have found that when pushing in the meter pins the deeper inserted the higher the reading. With hard wood it's difficult to get the pins in so I always add a few percentages and with softwood I usually can get the pins all the way. It was when I inserted the pins all the way into softwood that I noticed the difference between the pins being 1/4 the way in verses the pins being all the way in. Anyway, I hope you got the rest of the wood. Take care!

That is a great tip, Paul!!!! Thanks for sharing. Once I get the rest, I will re-test the splits!

Locals here do that but it's "riverside firewood". They drive around all winter on the river and find trees that have fallen down or have been cut down. It's a local past time

Some smart folks in the great north 😂Hello my friend.

[@martyrutter3630]

Any wood already cut and it’s free is going to lead to a great day !👍👍

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

I like that term, "riverside "! I honestly thought you were watching because you saw the 026!😂

​@@martyrutter3630You got that right, Marty!!!

I would say it was a stroke of luck that you ended up in the parking lot where the cut up rounds were. Good for you John. Firewood for sale and cleaning up the parking lot area around the business. Win win👍

Thanks, Ben!!! It was saying...."take me"!

Sounds like a wonderful find. Treasure trove. Happy for you. And better than a gym workout.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thanks, Joey!!! Now I have to explain to Beth why I am bringing wood home!🫣

Now that you’ve seen it and talked about it, it will be gone when you go back to get it. I’d be gone already to get it. 🤭🤭👍🏻👋🪵🪓🔥
