I really have been enjoying this forum. I have been learning alot, but this is the first discussion that I have took part in. I burn about 7-9 cords a year, mixture of oak, locust, hickory, maple and ash. I will burn most anything along the side of the road that i can pick-up (without bugs). Here are some pics. My wife tells me that its better to be addicted to managing your firewood, rather than being addicted to booze, drugs, other women, or gambling. So far firewood has not gotten me into any trouble! Keep posting those woodpile pics, here are mine.
