Surviving Maine Winters with Firewood | Maine Real Estate Guide Tips

Описание: Maine winters are no joke — and for many of us who live up north, heating with firewood isn’t just tradition, it’s a necessity. In this video, I’m Rick Theriault, Your Maine Real Estate Guide, and I’m taking you behind the scenes into how we keep warm the old-fashioned way — with a wood stove and a steady supply of hand-split firewood.

Whether you're already living off-grid, dreaming about a homestead, or just curious about the real-life details of rural Maine living, you’ll learn practical tips on splitting firewood, choosing the right wood types, and what it really takes to heat your home through a Maine winter.

I’ll show you a few different methods of splitting wood — both with a splitting maul and with tools that save your back. We’ll also chat about stacking, seasoning, and how to make sure your wood is ready to burn safely and efficiently. These are the skills every Mainer (and aspiring Mainer) should know, especially if you're moving into a camp, cabin, or off-grid home.
