Heat

Hottest days of the year so far, 31-33º: time to order some firewood!

Leña! 4m3.

Last winter chopping up the big blocks was a daily chore. Good workout, but.

This time we asked for "leña para estufa", so you get wood in nice smallish chunks, else you may get huge chunks of terribly hard root that is unsplittable, even by Engineer Jansen.

If you order now there’s 6 months drying in the sun and heat. Last winter Engineer Jansen had his certainties about the humidity of the wood, having bought an electronic wood humidity tester, and the orange test light lit up far too often. Too humid wood gets you less heat, more air pollution, and soot up your chimney. Engineer Jansen does not like air pollution, and soot up his chimney.

Piling up is fun. I think we have room for 2 m3 more!

Delivery, 4 m3

Two heaps, one on the P, one in the driveway.
