Juat as Tree co im fortnate to own a plot of land to dump, i have 89 acres of hunting land i bought a few yrs back just 2 miles from my home, this year was my first year running my own business and we had a big...im talken big o'll bon fire the first week end of deer season which attracted quite a few local hunters ...
what a party it was, this year i dont think ill burn it during hunting season tho damm thing smolderd and smooked for 5 days, my chips i just pile up and let em rot but i do have an area of chips i grow potatos in works well ,took some advise from treeco last year on a.s. and started an area to grow different veges in chips this year. I supply an unfortinate family(whom there father got crippled in a car accident)that live down the road from me with enough firewood to heat there house in the winter and also a home that takes care of mentaly retarded adults...i do that free of charge and did befor i started my business, the rest of the fire wood goes to my two little ones which are 9 and 11 they split it all by hand and sell it to the campers in small bundals for a pretty good profit...half that money goes into a fund for college the other half they keep for them selvs they brought me on vacation last yrar to see there uncle
and it teaches them good work ethic. All my logs so far go to my buddys dad whom has a mill he saws them up and we split the wood fifty\fifty and he also pickes em up for me.
Just a Question about chip piles. I try to keep them spread out but is there a point that they may catch fire? i know that they would get pretty hot in the chipboxes on the asplundh trucks i worked with.
