    Hold on Mark. Can't be winter yet but it is getting close for you. I think we're just a bit over a week away and we'll have summer while you enjoy winter.

    I have a MS451 MS311 MS180. I took the MS311 and MS180 with me but only used the MS311. The picture shows the MS180.

    In the OP I was wondering about the timing then checked the location. Mystery solved! Good looking firewood and toys. What variety of tree and where does it rate BTU wise?

    Its Stringy bark. Don't know the BTU but I can tell you that it burns hot and for a long time and produces good coles and not much ash, so its good firewood.

    There's now 2 seasonal demarcations.

    Meteorlogical calendar - as above
    Solar calendar - as known for years
