Went to the local saw mill to start gathering fire wood for this winter, and thought I would take a picture. This 71' is still working, and looking good doing it.

You're not really gonna burn that soft wood in the fireplace are you? Or is it a light colored hardwood like ash?

Safety first, fireplace+softwood=creosote=chimney fire=

BTW: Suweeeet Truck!

In the west softwood gets burned because that`s about all they have.When I lived in Humbodt Coounty,CA we burned alder,douglas fir and REDWOOD!Yup,that`s what was a growin` so that`s what we was a burnin`.It seems nuts,but we burn white oak,maple,cherry,walnut and alot of other funiture-grade woods.Never cut a live tree for firewood,though.But,what do you think they burn where all there is are scrawny live oaks and huge ponderosa pines?That`s what we burned in northern AZ.If you know what you`re doing you can keep the creosote from building up.I still heat with wood and have for 30 years +/-.Anyone anywhere whatever wood they`re using had better know what they`re doing if they burn wood regularly or they`re not going to have antyhing to heat.

Thanks for some of your concerns about the "soft wood", but it is mostley Blue Spruce, and has little sap in it. My chimney is inspected twice a season, and cleaned when needed. Any who, I am impressed with the way this 4 inch lift carries the weight. The rear is all spring with no blocks. My Super Duty with a 6 1/2 foot box, loaded with the same wood, almost touches the overloads.

These trucks are as tough as they are hansome.
