Firewood for Camping Help

AKSubie · 07-11-2007, 02:25 PM

Alright, so figured I'd throw this out there. I have a bit of wood to burn at the camping meet this weekend, but need a bit o help cutting and stripping it. It is old decking so most just needs to be sawed into pieces. (I have a corded and cordless circular saw and sawzaw, but some pieces are also (from being a deck) riddled with nails and joist hangers, so need help in pulling the nails out as well. I'd be down to having a small BBQ and some brews while doing it, or perhaps driving down to the great bear afterward, if anyone wants to help, post or PM me.

i might be able to help depending on when , also my offer of starting the fire in under a minute with no matches or lighter still stands

AKSubie · 07-11-2007, 03:47 PM

Well, I guess figure on Camping being Saturday... we have pretty much every evening till then. I am pretty open at the moment. If we get a few peeps together, we can knock it out fairly quick.

ridestreet84 · 07-11-2007, 04:02 PM

sounds good i will even bring my own hammer

SpecBLite · 07-11-2007, 04:18 PM

post a time and a place I'll come help even though I can't make it this weekend

AKSubie · 07-11-2007, 04:27 PM

Alright, what ya all think......? I'm thinking 6:30pm, obviously at my house (Village lp & wasilla fishhook). Either thursday or friday work for me. (or tonight even if you like short notice) Which day works for those interested in fire wood?

SpecBLite · 07-11-2007, 04:56 PM

Now I'm confused thought you lived in Anchorage...

AKSubie · 07-11-2007, 04:58 PM

Nope, I live in the valley. I work in Anchorage though.

ridestreet84 · 07-11-2007, 08:43 PM

friday works best for me even though i have no clue how to get to your place

AKSubie · 07-11-2007, 08:54 PM

Alright, Friday works for me as well... Sounds good. Lets plan around 6:30-7pm to start give everyone a chance to get out of town yet early enough we arent going till midnight

Directions, Hop on the Glenn and head out of town.... after going into Wasilla Make a right @ "Main Street/Knik Goose Bay". Follow for about 2 miles and make a right @ "E Village Lp", I'll be the first house on the right with a gravel U shaped drive (ok, so its more lazy L shaped) ... and currently a motorhome is near the garage. House number is 1800.

Alaskan_awd · 07-11-2007, 08:55 PM

Be careful, If the decking is treated it contains arsenic and it gets released in the smoke when you burn it.

AKSubie · 07-11-2007, 09:26 PM

Good point Alaskan. I do not believe it is treated, for the way it had deteriorated and crumbled. I have already burned a few pieces already with no symptoms. in my burn barrel... but will triple check tonight the other boards to make sure there isnt signs of being treated, as there havent been yet. I'll post up more tonight.

Hi-Speed Solutions · 07-11-2007, 09:34 PM

whoo hoo! we'll be really having a party Sat eve!

Yeah it is not red colored is it?

AKSubie · 07-12-2007, 12:55 AM

no, just checked, its not red colored, mostly a light yellow, unless it is wet as it is now then more orange. no signs of a dark ring around the edges where I have already cut some, and as rotted out as it was, I'd hazard a guess it wasnt treated, I mean the beams came up when prying the decking off.

Well, we can plan to come out here and cut it up, and if a wood miser is along and/or we all agree it shouldnt be used, we just drink and play xbox.. LOL.

Alaskan_awd · 07-12-2007, 02:56 AM

Sounds like its fine.

AKSubie · 07-13-2007, 12:09 AM

AKSubie · 07-13-2007, 03:09 PM

Alright, sooo, is anyone down for this or shoudl we just scrap it tonight?

Mavrik · 07-13-2007, 03:37 PM

ridestreet84 · 07-13-2007, 03:38 PM

AKSubie · 07-13-2007, 03:39 PM
