You know, Hybrid fat is really hard to clean off those mesh filters.

That may be.. And tho Im not very good at guessing a persons age here.. it kinda seems like the Op is younger, just reads like it to me. Either way, the harshness isn't needed.
These are the times I end up in trouble here.. cos I cant stand to see someone being talked to in a mean way.. no matter their age.

No doubt..

Definitely no bow sawing for you then.
I try not to take down the large diameter grown trees unless necessary.
I try to cut out the saplings at around 3 inch diameter max. This means I don't have to split and they dry quickly. It takes at least two years for the evergreen oak here to dry to 15% moisture content. It burns oaky after a year but a lot of energy is still going into drying the wood instead of heating the stove.

I'll only cut dead trees unless a live one's in the way. Never heard of an evergreen oak.

Did they get it all?

Supposedly, yeah.

Most of the lower range of the mountains here are covered in this.
