Tractors and wood! Show your pics

I used the Cub, because I wasn’t hauling it to the woodshed, I just left it stacked on the corner of my bucking trailer. I put the side box back on the Cub first, which works good for carrying my saw.

Nice Cub!

They remind me of the first tractor I ever drove. We had a sicle bar mower on it we used for cutting hay.

OK...what's a bean hole?

(And ya'll get yer minds out of the gutter!)

I'd say that yours is already there, based on this comment.


To answer your question,

Beans baked in cast iron pots buried in the ground became a lumber camp specialty and remain popular in Maine to this day

From this site...

History of Bean-Hole Beans - Maine Folklife Center - University of Maine

Many America foods originated in America and were passed on to early settlers by Native Americans. It is difficult to imagine a meal without Native American foods–corn, potatoes, squash, and beans, of course, but also peanuts, pumpkins, pineapple, tomatoes, cocoa, and avocados. These American...

When it comes to making ash in the fireplace, our best wood out here is Coastal Douglas Fir, which is technically not a fir at all. It has 75% of the BTUs of hardwood yet I can easily go 2 months of 24/7 burning without shoveling ash out. Grows straight as an arrow and splits easily. The older the tree, the denser the wood.

Talking to a pellet stove mechanic last year and he stated softwood pellets burnt better and cleaner than the hardwood counterpart.

The article is an education...and now I'm interested in trying it out. Had to look up Yellow Eyes, Jacob's Cattle and Soldier beans too. They are some pretty beans.

I've cooked a stew piling coals on a Dutch oven, but the bean-hole is something new.

Like the mention of them originally being made with maple syrup. Bet that's pretty good!

Want something even weirder?
Look up cooking a shore dinner or pit cooking or clam bake.
All you need is some seaweed crap, some sand crap, charcoal crap and some food crap

You can accomplish the same thing in a pressure cooker, but it isn't as fun. My beanhole is two tractor trailer rims welded together, sunk into the ground. I'd like to add another rim for my other Dutch oven, and try a roast in that.
I've done them with maple syrup before, but prefer molasses. Probably because that's the way I've had them for 65 years.

Me too. Syrup makes them to sweet for my taste.
