First off love the blog…. it is fun to see more folks adventuring locally and COOKING. I keep telling all my friends that the key to good food is to put some labor into it. Would love to see more pictures of the free stack and a sketch of your chimney config so I can try this. I just picked up about 1200 bricks from a construction site in various sizes for 50US and labor of course. On to my own sub optimal pizza soon!

Greg – Yes. Temp Dry Stack V1.0.
WHOAH is that a resource boon for you guys – well DONE! I know a couple folks with the log splitters, and they do a good job. The stuff in the photo on this post was split with one. Man that’s a lot of wood.

We met today with a rep from MB Ag who will be helping us plunder… ahem, take advantage of… rural tree initiatives. Looks like we’ll get more than 500 trees for various purposes (alley cropping, shelterbelt, stand maturation) for FREE, including help with planting. There’s that weak spot again, huh?

My chainsaw and axe are going to get a serious workout this year. We will be culling trees for cordwood on our property, and at a few neighbours’ places. When they hear we’re using wood exclusively, they immediately offer from their stands. I’m glad because we spent a mint on seasoned wood this time around. Might also try firing up my Uncle’s log splitter. Count fingers before and after; better be the same number.
