    It will just takes its spot in the pile, but it will be a nice little bonus when I happen to get to it!

    You don’t wrap the separate pieces in silk? Heathen :)

    It’s the only wood I separate. In my area it doesn’t just come to you it must be hunted. For that it gets a special home.

    I have 2 face cords of BL.

    Half of one is good to go for '26-'27.

    I use it strictly for overnight burns, mixed with RO. Easy relight in the morning.

    I'm usually home when the woodstove is lit. So I'll be burning a higher percentage of Ash this season. Some of it is past prime, but will burn just fine.
