    Have you ever not burned a certain type of wood in awhile, or not given it much thought? Then one day you use the wood again and it’s like the first time with that wood! It happened to me today. I threw 3 good sized pieces of Cherry in the stove, and the heat being pumped out took my breath away. I remembered why Cherry is one of my go-to favorites.

    Absolutely!
    Cherry and silver maple both give me that warm fuzzy feeling.

    All firewood makes me feel good. I've burned some beech this year and it is one we rarely get here. Nice, but I've burned plenty of it in the past. It is firewood. Good stuff too.
