Sure. You could do that.
Nobody else does that because it makes no economic sense, but firewood is probably entertainment for you instead of a source of heat. Normal economic rules don't apply. Entertainment is frivolous by its very nature. |

I actually heat my house with firewood. I have a heat pump, but I try to arrange things so that it never comes on.
I have tons of trees on my property, and a chainsaw, but this doesn't really get me "firewood" until waiting around 2-3 years for it to dry out. Somebody gave us a kiln, and I wondered, could I jump-start the wood seasoning process? Maybe, I could at least do batches of small branches--those should dry out quicker? The small branches I actually use a lot of, because after the fire box is hot, and I put fresh wood on for the night, I stuff every conceivable airspace inside the box with small bits of wood, until it's a solid block that will burn slowly all night. The wetter wood smokes too much and leaves too much ash.

It appears so, yes.

I was going to, but somebody said, "pottery, schmottery" so I decided to grow my bangs out and smoke cloves instead.

Vaping those cloves might be healthier.

Make the kids pick up all the stones in the south forty, then you can build a dry laid firepit.
Maybe rent it out to young skateboarders in the off season.

Give it a strum on one side and it will vibrate the whole thing just enough for the dust to work it's way into the cables all over.
And do you remember what happens when you trip and fall into this thing? Pepperiage Farms remembers.
