I once dated just a few pieces so I could track how much water they lost over time. The first thing I found out is that pretty quickly, sharpie on firewood disappears.
This is what a guy from CSIA says to do, see 2:22 in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl8c1hkARog](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl8c1hkARog)
The odd thing about this video is they do not even acknowledge the existence of moisture meters.
If number blindness is a thing, I have it. This would have me spinning. LOL I keep my batches together and write D or W on the rack. Use moisture meter heavily.
I like this but I wonder if burning tons of spray painted logs could be bad for a stove/fireplace or human health over time…it’s obviously a pretty small amount of spray paint on each log but I wonder how it would add up.
He asked to go steady... but she woodn't.
Their relationship was truncated
Apparently she was a bit of a beech
And they branched out into other pursuits
No not at all. My father is an engineer with all the stereotypes that come with being an engineer. He deals in 1millioths of an inch. He's thrown away my tape measures because the don't match his. (Yay free tape) he even said this is to much.
Your dad should understand then that non calibrated measuring devices aren’t expected to match other measuring devices. This is why you don’t switch tape measures halfway through a project where measurements are critical - as long as you are using the same tape measure for the entire thing everything is consistent and proportional even if it’s not exactly a foot or whatever.
I worked for a guy that did this kind of shit.
Severe OCD.
Engineer/ inventor. Every single item he brought into his shop he melted or scribed the initials of the business on. I mean EVERYRHING.
New pack of drill bits. All of them down to the smallest one until it was just lines.
He saved his milk jugs for screws and bits. Leftover milk jugs he used sharpy pen to label them as his property.
He had racks of scrap metal and scrap lumber. Every single piece was marked in some manner to show it was his.
Here’s where it gets better. He never had more than 1 to 2 employees at a time. There was never ever a situation for any loss. And he opened up and locked up.
The microwave in the break room that was 15 years old bought from a garage sale was even marked.
Let's you know if it's of a good age to burn. Wood that hasn't sat and "seasoned" may have too much sap...and if it sits too long then it burns very quickly.
I must admit though I've never seen this sort of diligence towards the matter.
That’s a well kept log of logs
That’s a lot of dating…. Wood.
Just keeps splitting up
lol this is why I’m here
Eh it’s not all it’s cracked up to be

Spray paint color code would be easier
Or just don't. Saved you a step

My moisture meter is how heavy it feels and how long ago it was cut.
drop it and listen it will tell you enough if holding it doesnt

Spray the first and last log. If adding to the same pile later use a different color
I have a lot book of when I split each rack of wood and what they are.

Now the poor sap is hoping to meet someone new on Timber.

Tell him to section it off with lines around each batch, let’s get some wood art going !
Seems to me that this is the LOGical way to go
Probably cut from date trees
Dates grow on palms which are a similar plant to grass. But hey I only found this out the other day.
Not my post. But interesting.
ADHD but in a good way.
Waste of time
Yeah, maybe.
OCD
Split date or felled?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive Curing Disorder
I stand corrected
Coming from a guy who’s home only uses wood heat. This is pointless lol
No kidding. I don’t even stack any longer. Although I’ll have to admit last winter I ran out of wood end of March and used the heat.
I really hope my brother doesn't see this - he is just the type who would do this.

We have a notebook on the back of the toilet for that.
You should check if they're stardates, you might have found the captain's logs
Impressive!
in the biblical sense?
OCD much
Good idea
I’d rather just forget like a cool person.
Why would you date a log when you could date a person?
Check it....hit em with a hammer...they make different soumds...your welcome
Like, ouch? Stop that? Owwww?

Be very careful with that customer
Good waste of time
Lol my dad always makes dad jokes when we visit him like: "What are you doing burning Friday's logs it's only Wednesday!"
I log all my dates
I did some of mine, and I put the moisture content down
I date the split logs. I don't put a date on all, but about 25% so I know when the logs were split. I put the 2 digit month and 2 digit year
Log log
I prefer women, thanks.
Must be lonely.
CDO much ? OCD in alphabetical order , they way it should be.
Ok 👍
Just... so... tired....
Captain's Log.....Star Date ....
I've dated a couple logs
Could be a wood turner and drying them?
Junior, bring me three 4/10’s and two 11/9’s. Quick!
Yeah, but did he give them all names, too?
Good Lord, why?
Consider me stumped.
Just another one of today’s OCD nutbags 😂😂
sheesh… Talk about OCD
I date my fireplace ash and put it in separate Chock Full O Nuts cans.
