Description

Don't use blue tarps on your firewood. Here's what I've seen over a lot of winters: why a tarp leaks where water sits, why plastic sheeting is better but wears out, why the cheap ones come apart into strings, and the one mistake that ruins even the good ones. THE OLD WAYS HANDBOOK 50+ years of what I know, over eighty chapters. eliasmercer.com DISCLAIMER This is what I've seen in my own climate and experience. Yours may differ. Have your chimney inspected by a certified sweep every year, and check your local fire rules. #firewood #bluetarp #woodstove #homesteading
