The new woodstove needs some firewood to burn. And we come prepared as you can see on the photo. But wait there is more. Actually it is fun to do; from standing tree to 10 foot logs, into footlong stubs, to splitting it. All wood shown on the photos is free of charge, most of it is from our acreage. All in all we have about 3 cord of wood (it fills our previous back-garden in Maarn), 1 cord is already seasoned from last year. So we are winter ready you might say. I am planning to keep the stove running 24/7, don't know if that works out to be feasable. Time will tell.
To speed up the log cutting operation I have decided to buy a new chainsaw. Please take a look here for info on this beast of a saw. Only in the US, no saw pants or safety goggles, just jeans and a t-shirt, probably sawpants are useless here as you will be cut in half in a blink of the eye. But this chainsaw would suit me, V8 cutting power.
This is even a better cutting/splitting/sorting device. My 3-ton electric log-splitter from the Co-op Wetaskiwin suits us very well at a fraction of the cost from aforementioned professional device.
