Andrew & Son: Ready to roll
Andrew said, “Next year, instead of moving the wood twice, let’s load it right on the trailer, as we cut and clear.”
There sure is a lot of wood to move … some 25 trailer loads to be transported back to the charcoal burning area. That must be at least 20 tons to be lifted by two-and-a-half backs and pulled through the mud by little Ford Dexter.
But here is Mike the Druid, thinking and doing in parallel. He is making a frame for a cover for the charcoal burning barrels, so they can be used outside, even if it rains.
Jan said, “Wow! Now we can take the charcoal burners to the wood, instead of the wood to the charcoal burners!” It felt as was if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. There will no need to move more charcoal wood, this year, or ever after.
Charcoal is small fraction of the weight of wood, and has a higher calorific value.
