linus6948 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Getting tired of splitting wood, will hopefully be done this week, acorns are falling in the forest like rain which the "old timers" say means a bad winter is coming.

DJ194950 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 More acorns falling means more firewood needed? Your current pile would last the rest of My life with our Ca. restricted burn days. MUST use the pellets? to use on no burn days! Love a natural wood fire in fireplace in the living room. Grew up with that ever winter night! Hope you have the time to keep splitting wood!

Not because of restricted burn days, but because it doesn't get that cold very often where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus6948 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Unfortunately here in the mountains of NE PA the first snow usually occurs in October and we sometimes have April blizzards, there can be months when it looks like "Ice Station Zebra" around here. That`s when plowing the driveway takes over as my next hobby, keeping me pretty busy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Growing up my parents never burned wood for heat. Coal fired furnace in the basement kept us warm. Looked something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
