Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Sounds like too much work. I buy a bale of compressed pine shavings from Tractor Supply, and mix in some used oil. In my shop stove, that lights VERY easily. :thumbsup:

THAT'S what people do, when they have too much money!

The rest of us, don't mine a little physical labor... lol

I wonder how many people get the reference to sawdust. I can honestly say I have never had to worry about that problem.

I can still remember where our local ice house was and it was falling down then.

OK, you've got me... what's a "brow"?

Sorry I should of used a backwards Mainer term, that thing-a-ma-giggy I'm loading logs on in this video................

I have make hundreds of these fir cut-offs every year. They are laying around every where. I pick the ones with no whurls to makes good easy to split kindling. I fill a floor to ceiling rack that is just behind the stove in the basement with 2x4 size pieces off the splitter and use a hatchet to split them finer during the winter.

Whats with the two saws, one cutting down and other for cutting up and one because you got the saw stuck?

I often use bacon grease or an old candle to help get a fire going. Smells good outside. I just saw something I didn't know on youtube. If you blow out a candle and that stream of smoke comes off it, you can relight the candle at a short distance by applying flame to the smoke trail.

Yep. The smoke is flammable. That's how you can power an engine with wood gasification instead of gasoline.

I get cedar poles from work very dry and great kindling, the poles have been in the air for decades the little splits light just from a match, no paper required.

Sounds really dirty and messy. I seem to have enough shards, bark, lumber scraps, wax containers, and cardboard so that is what I use.

I've seen converted WWII passenger cars and trucks to wood gasification units...

That is one of the principles behind the EPA wood stoves. In my attached picture notice the flames coming off of the upper tube. That is fresh air being introduced to the gases after the primary flame has died out. Beyond the flaming tube you will notice the CAT glowing orange behind its flame shield. The smoke is burning on its surface. 3 layers of burn. 1st on the wood itself, 2nd the gases burn and 3rd the CAT burn. 86% efficient according to the testing. So they said when they sold it to me. The wood itself is off/at the bottom of the picture. EPA stoves are required here if new.
