That truck looks a little under-qualified for that load.

Wouldn’t it be more valuable as lumber?? Is there a cheaper tree to cut for firewood?

Heaven has a wall, a gate and strict immigration policy.
Hell has open borders.

We use a lot of Popular lumber for interior trim. Paint grade. Also for cabinets . Seems like soft maple wood be close to the same density. Where is Cashking when we need him?

Wouldn’t it be more valuable as lumber?? Is there a cheaper tree to cut for firewood? Yes. Cottonwood and burr oak. We have a pallet factory in southwest Iowa and that is their preferred wood. Soft maple burns hot but it burns quick. It takes a lot to get through a winter. Up where Wabigon lives there is cotton wood and soft maple along the rivers and streams. But, most of the ground is covered with farm fields or cow pastures and wood is few and far between. Probably the best source is around an old farm house where wind breaks were planted years ago. Soft maple was planted because it would get big faster than pretty much any other trees. No one had air conditioning back then. They had shade trees instead. kwg

Thanks KWG! The price of lumber in Calif is very high. I built a large set of kitchen cabinets , paint grade, no particle board about 18 years ago and the materials were under a $1000. I’m guessing it’s 2&1/2 times that amount now.

Firewood, almost a year round endeavor to stay stalked up That's why I like a central heat furnace. Just flick the ol' thermostat switch and voila, pretty soon, warm as a bear cub sleeping right next to its mother.  L.W.

Firewood, almost a year round endeavor to stay stalked up It takes about 3 cords to get thru a Colorado winter here in Durango. I use to cut it up in the San Jaun National Forest. Now the wife & I just go over to a sawmill & get the scrap ends. Way easier & heats just as good.

Popla is softer wood ain’t wurthafuck for firewood Ah, thats bullshit. Wood burns. Dry it, it burns. Not hot enough, burn more. People get too caught up on 10-20% BTU difference. its wood, if you arent paying for it, who cares. Just burn it. I'm swimming in ash, oak, and beech here, but I'll burn anything thats not a conifer or sycamore. Sycamore smells like ass.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.
