As we move into the fall, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler. It's time to prepare for the winter heating season by stockpiling firewood. The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) has killed a lot of my trees, so I have a lot of dead trees to convert into firewood. I gather the trees during the year and store them near our barn where I cut them to length for the wood stove and split them with a hydraulic wood splitter.
Once the wood is split, it is stacked on pallets to keep the firewood off the ground and let it air dry.
I transport pallets of firewood to our house as needed using pallet forks on a tractor.
