Gotta ask for my friend Field Grade as he's up in the Happy Hunting Ground and too busy for us fools now.
How many ricks of wood in that trailer?

I bet there is enough uprooted white oaks on my place to easily equal 25 cords. All can easily be reached by UTV. Can’t even give the stuff away.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

The loggers are getting paid to take the tree's away and clean up the woods. Weird thing is the deer vacated some of the hardest hit areas all fall after the tornadoes.

Richard, for bucking up logs, I currently use a Stihl MS 271 with 18" bar.

Interesting charts. I knew madrone would be high on the charts with the btu's. I have a lot of it at the cabin and it makes excellent firewood. Been burning it for years. Easy to split, burns hot and long, very little ash. Right up there with live oak.

Beetle kill spruce up here. I have at least a half-dozen trees that will need to come down next year. Neighboring lot dozer cleared just before freezeup. Left a 10' barrier to lot line. Big wind knocked over a half dozen of those too, once exposed. Probably more will come down...they all fell my way, too.
cut the tops out of the driveway, the trunks are still as fallen. they will keep, and breed more damned beetles next year! I'll try to get them in the spring before the bugs get active. too damned cold right now- 20 below nights, not much warmer days.
The bright spot is that I'm going to have to (cough, cough) buy a new saw .
It won't be a Stihl..... I'd buy a Crapsman first. Had a Sthil once - that was enough!

Did I hear 'Chainsaw"? There is an old David Bradly saw way up on a shelf here, I can't get a good picture, and I'm too lazy to climb up to get it down.
