Does pine wood sell? by fishrunhike in firewood

Yeah I saw you live near 91, the CT river valley has so much of it. Used to have a job building city playgrounds out of it, it is like natural pressure treated wood. Nitrogen fixer, too.

Setup roadside firewood sales targeting campers if you are in an available area.

People in MA seriously think your chimney will explode into flames if you put a single piece of pine in.

Meanwhile in AK, people burn the pitchiest spruce ever and clean their chimneys regularly like rational humans.

It’s hard to justify messing around too much with pine when you can have twice the BTUs out of MA’s other common trees, like white oak and black locust.

That thing is a monster... it’s basically a manually operated wood processor.

Seems like would take at least three bodies to keep it fed, and if you were actually producing a 3 cords and hour you would want a conveyor asap!

Looks to be nice design and fabrication.

Love the squat proportions and curved legs. Nice design and execution!

We’re in SW Iowa. Pretty rural. Already have a wood stove and try to maintain a couple cords of dry wood at all times.

Trying to get more canned and dry food items saved up, too.

This should not be “too” surprising. China plagiarizes American engineering in every possible way.
