Hey Jakob .
With this C-19 going around I don’t do near the driving as before but the trees keep on growing !

I am having trouble finding dry places to store my bags of dry chunks due to way less driving. I got after the chunks anticipating Jacobs cross country trip that has been delayed.
But the thought of all the potential DOW keeps me happy.

I’m sorry it has caused you inconvenience. I still hope to do it but still unsure when.

No worries Jacob.
My fall in the shower stopped me from DOW for 6 mo, then along came COVID and I became a stay home retiree.
So my only workout has been occasionally chunking.
It is all good.
Hope to see you in 2021!

Hi Jakob, when you do take the big drive across the USA, I will have Your wood waiting even if it has been rotated out and replaced with new fresh dry wood ready to go. We can’t have that wood getting stale on us now, can we. Lol

This is pretty good. You guys are setting up an infrastructure of drive on wood filling stations. If the trip ever goes through Northern Michigan I’ll chip in. I guess that should be I’ll chunk in.

Life gets in the way, that’s just the way it goes. But no worries, I still have a cache of about 1500lbs of chunks. Would love for any woodgassers to stop by.

Yeah, there is still a supply of wood waiting here too. I did not think to put any fuel stabilizer in it when I stored it away, but as long as it stays dry, it should probably be fine for the next couple thousand years 
Another reason to stick with solid fuel, it keeps!

To the best of my knowledge there is nothing around here that will eat dry wood. There is some sort of boring beetle that will mine the cambium layer of certain hardwoods, but it leaves the actual wood alone. Does make a mess, though, as they leave copious amounts of very fine sawdust behind. We do have carpenter ants, but they need damp wood to thrive.
Now the shelf-life of charcoal has got to be measured in tens of thousands of years, if not more. I have been felling trees to extend my fire-break in case we ever get a repeat of last fall, and I have got a bit of an itch to make a bunch of char. Of course, I already have like 250 gallons of engine grade char just waiting to be used, so I guess the first step really ought to be to get going on that downdraft charcoal unit…

There is something here that eats cherry boards that are dry. No idea what it is but my old cherry boards that have been sitting in the barn for probably 30 or more years as my late uncle never got around to dealing with the live edges are full of tinny holes mostly in the lighter non heart wood. There is a fine sawdust like waste all over them. Silver maple is the same way it will just get eaten away after it is dry. I am assuming it is the high sugar content of the relatively soft hard woods that attracts the insects.
Oak and other woods seem imperious to the bugs once they are dry. But nature seems to find a way to utilize any resource that is in abundance.

Changed my mind again… I deleted a funny firewood hauling video, but unfortunately the link turned to just an Instagram log-in.
If someone more computerized can “restore” it, you’re welcome.

Who is that? Do you know that guy? Perhaps Kristijan’s brother? I know it is not K, he doesn’t own a Peugeot.

Haha, that’s funny.
I have no idea who it is. A workmate of mine texted me and asked if was me. I just transfered it to an appropriate location - the DOW Wood supply 
@KristijanL Watch it if you’re able to
