I started this season by burning Silver Maple (15%) and Hackberry (15 - 17%) Big cold front coming tomorrow so I brought up enough red oak (14 - 16%) to last about 10 days. After that I've ash (15%) to mix with the oak and to burn alone. For those really cold nights there a mix of ash, oak and black locust (15 - 17%).

 

Still burning mostly aspen poplar, 13-15%; also have 1.25 cords of soft maple 15-17%, high and dry up on the front porch. I'll burn a few splits of the maple here and there if it's really chilly, or I'm just lazy and don't want to walk out to the garage for the poplar. Hoping the maple can get me through till mid-late December; then I'll refill the porch with about 1.3 cords of white ash 15-17%, to get me through Jan-Feb. Then it's another 1.3 cords of soft maple to finish out the year.

 

i burn klim dried scrap wood 1percent to o

 

Tonights fire will consist of mulberry, ash and oak. They all came in on the meter sub 16%.

 

Of course I'm kidding Kapt.....you might have a good point though, just a little fun......I didn't say anything about the squirt gun with gasoline that I keep by the kindling box.

 

Like I said, you are a hoot LP. Hopefully EVERYONE knows you are kidding.......you are right????

 

Silver maple - <16%

 

HELLO EVERYONE I'M KIDDING>>>>>>I DON'T USE ANYTHING PETROLEUM BASED AROUND MY FIREWOOD. DONE NOW WON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT !!!

 

Sugar maple here. Had to take down 13 trees early Spring...mostly maple. Cut and stacked the branches, and they are good and dry now.. great for shoulder season.

 

Not many trees where I live. I did manage to get about 3 cords of Pine and mixed wood, but I mostly use presswood logs in my Enviro VF1700 woodstove.

 

Mostly pine and hemlock, American elm during the colder days. The elm was standing dead for 4-5 years and the pine and hemlock have been air drying in a shed for 8 months. Also a few rounds of dead limbs I found in my travels.

 

Burning Austrian Pine right now, no clue on moisture content, but it lit with a small propane torch & no kindling or fire starter, so I'm bettin it's pretty dry. I'll switch to Elm or Ash tomorrow if the temps stay in the low 30's. That's been dead so long it'll light with a match. Never did buy a meter, if it sizzles it ain't ready, if it lights up fast & easy it's dry. A C

 

Great...what am I supposed to do with all this kerosene soaked oak now?!

 

I was just kidding you too LPBack 40 years ago, I really, actually started my open fireplace with kerosene.

 

Pelletized...really, really dry....mixed with some that looks just like corn that's roughly 8%-10%

 

Red oak...not seasoned at all. In a rented cabin, and I'm warm enough.
