My neighbors thanked me for pruning their Mimosa with the broken
branches for free... One of our local people had already offered to
prune the tree for a price.

I just wanted the wood for smoking. :-)

There is quite a bit of dead wood in many areas in the hill country
along side the roads on public property. The counties don't mind people
cleaning it up for them.

I've no doubt the same situation occurs in Australia...

Sure does. In Queensland anyways.



'Boogle Bob' must live in a pretty shitty area if he's worried about 'wood
thieves'.

They'd have to be big branches....... I like big fires ;-)

The last fire we had on the back deck was during a cold snap and I
started it to keep the guest warm while we sat outside and admired the
clear skies and all the starts.

The logs on there were from a 12-14"dia tree, and split in half.

Nice fresh pine trees...... smelt quite nice while it was burning :-)

Wonderful. Your path to enlightenment has begun.

A plain spoken man would say "Is it possible that you don't know what you
are talking about?" Perhaps your Olde English affectation masks social
deficiencies?

Bob, unfortunately, you are not unique.

How else would you like me to explain it to you? You take offence when none
is intended. You insult people when it isn't necessary. You are thin
skinned and like looking for an argument and today, you won't get it from
me. I have work to do.

Yep, GL teaches Hypocrisy 101 at the local 'Speshal' school.

Some of them are, but I only build fires in the smoker or grill.
Large for that is not so good. 6" to 8" diameter is about max.

Pretty! I'd use my cedar for that.

Took a pic some time back when I first bought it. :-)
I seriously consider it to be money (and storage space) well spent. I
use it quite a lot:

Even in 'suburbia' we have large tracts of bush areas that are a 'green
buffer zone'. There's always plenty of wood to be had there.

I have such an area at my back door :-)


Not exactly the boonies, but it'll do for a bush escape :-)
