The eco- liberals have discovered logging.

Lodgepole makes for a pretty cabin, but needs lots and lots of maintenance... I guess it’s better than just letting the trees become a bigger fire hazard or just rotting away...

The nearest lumber yard is Montrose and Kremmling is starting to produce wood pellets for fireplaces.
This might be a way to motivate folks for a ‘healthy forest.’

Highly compressed softwood pellets are great - better to use it, than lose it.
I heat my whole house with them from Dec 1 to about Mar 1

It is surprising that the eco-wackos will allow any tree, dead or alive, to be harvested and converted to capitalistic, economically useful purposes. Were these trees taken from public or private forests?

Not sure of the source.
Most foresters in the USFS want to help.

There’s a mill on Highway 9 about 15 miles north of Silverthorne. Also one on the south edge of Meeker and one just north of Craig. I can’t say if any are currently active. The USFS made it too hard to log the White River NF that supported the Meeker operation. That, and the owner was a cranky sob that nobody liked to deal with anyway. The Craig mill I believe was once active in the Routt NF; they had a lifetime contract to supply cribs for underground mines but couldn’t maintain a reasonable tolerance and lost their sugar daddy.

The hardwood pellets throw out much more heat and are the same price. We’re using Walmart hardwood (U.S. made) at $224 per ton, Tractor Supply was $239 for “sawdust pellets” which turned out to be from Canada and were made from Pine sawdust. Not much heat from them. Hopefully this winter will be nice to us upstate NYers!

We’ve heated our house for 7 years with a pellet stove and have not had one chimney problem.

I have a friend locally who lives in a log house. He has lots of trouble getting homeowners insurance because of the difficulty in repairing a fire damaged log house.

check your rated BTU per ton, then the ash weight - you’ll be surprised

Likely true, but they are as much restrained by Clinton-appointed judges as everyone else.

And Sierra Club lawyers...
For this to happen in Summit county is interesting. Summit County was 91.5% for Jon Cary in 2004.
