We still use firewood, and looking outside at the white ground, and single digit temps, I'm glad the stove is warming the house now.
I get a semi truck load of larch and birch, delivered to my log yard area every 4 years. I have a Kubota log grapple to bring logs right to my sawbuck, at the wood shed (2 car garage size) where I can saw rounds and fill one side of the shed.
Then I'll pull out the gas- hydraulic splitter, and split them all, and just toss them over the center divider filling the other side to the roof.
I'm usually a year ahead with wood availability, and plenty of good dry logs in the log yard ready to go. Even after being retired 15 years, I enjoy the chores, although the equipment I use keeps it from being a back breaking endeavor.
