Bob Nitsch, a retired mine worker from 6126 S Euclid Ave, uses an ax, four wheel diesel pickup, and a diesel circular saw to collect mesquite for heating a small cottage and cooking. He swapped a gas burner for a Franklin stove and now covers fuel by foraging mesquite along riverbanks and washes.
The article profiles Nitsch, a five eight inch, 150 pound bachelor who gathers mesquite wood for his stove. He chops logs into six foot lengths, loads them for transport, then cuts to 18 inch pieces for the 24 inch stove. He splits thick logs with a wedge and hammer and stacks wood for winter. He enjoys the countryside with wildlife and the fire’s warmth after cooking outside, feeling he helps with energy issues.
