[ATTACH] And just like that the burning season has started. Came home to 62 in the house and not ready to burn propane yet.
Same here! Ash burns hot enough for me in all but the coldest nights, splits like a dream, and is light to pick up. I’d burn it exclusively if I...
Red oak for sure around here. It’ll most likely be all I cut this fall. I’ll burn some ash and maple this winter but the new wood looks to be...
I have mostly ash and red oak with a smaller amount of sugar maple and an even smaller amount of pine - all of which has been under a roof for 4...
Mornings feel great here going down in the 50s now. Days still getting in high 80s but evenings cool down nicely.
I call them chunks and uglies and they get burned in the fire pit or fall shoulder season.
I’m one of the votes for hand splitting. I don’t own a splitter mainly because I’m too cheap to buy one. Like most I’ve altered how I work as I...
Everything is ready here but probably 7 or 8 weeks away from a fire. August is pretty hot in Virginia but we’ve had a stretch of nice weather the...
On the 7 year plan here. Can choose what wood I want to cut and when. Wood is the driest I’ve ever burned. No creosote in the chimney either....
If I still cut in the summer heat I would say that for sure. Now I’m far enough ahead that I only cut when it’s comfortable, which is mostly fall...
Cleaned out my stove and pipe today. Will get on the roof tomorrow and brush out the chimney. Not anticipating any more fires until October.
Beech and Osage would be my two. Never burned either and heard great things about both.
I’d put red oak first because that’s what I get most of. I’d put white ash first but there’s not as much of that around. Red maple would be next...
Fisher Papa Bear for 22 years and counting. Not sure what stove parents used when I was a kid.
I chose 30-40. 22 in the house I’m in now and adding on when I was a kid and would help Dad gather wood and haul it into the house for Mom and...
Chain on backwards - yep I’ve done that too - more than once. Just had to laugh at myself and move on.
I voted stacked some covered some not. I would cover it all but don’t have enough space under a roof or materials for covering. 4 years worth...
About a cord and a half here. Almost to the halfway point so I’d say on pace to burn 3 cords this winter give or take. I burn October- April. I...
Where in Virginia are you? I’m in Shenandoah County within spitting distance of the West Va line.
I am in Shenandoah County and my house in the middle of nowhere had -8 this morning. Not used to that type of cold around here!
