Didn't want to hijack the thread below, but wondering about how to easily burn wood that is 1 1/2 years old.
Right now it gets cut and split, then stacked out in the woodyard. Typically to sit out for part of a summer, all winter, and all of the next summer uncovered. Long about the second fall it gets picked up and moved into the woodshed, rotated with any leftovers from last year so oldest burns first. Then every month or so several pickup loads are moved from the shed to a small covered rack up by the house. Then a couple of times a week some of that it brought into the house. That's a lot of messing with the wood before it gets burned.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
