    I hate burning the better stuff until the real cold moves in.

    We haven't used the pellet stove yet but come December that should change.

    How's the basswood working out? I've only used it for kindling.

    34 here now and I'm burning small Oak rounds, 1" to 2" branches really. But one day back in April last year I was cutting and cut smaller than I usually do. And that's what we're burning tonight. Actually a pretty good amount of heat from them. But I don't have a lot.

    32 degrees with Ash splits and Pine cut-offs from the barn project burning. Looks like it won't get really cold for a while yet. Going to warm up some next week.

    30°F & Just put in a small load of birch and hard maple, highs today around 35 with mixed precipitation expected. Gasifier, it looks like that warm-up will be Wednesday on, with highs in the low 40's. :yes:

    It works pretty well. I've noticed that the stove doesn't make any ghost flames on basswood alone, but add elm to it, even 1 piece and it ghost flames all over the place.

    I have an entire tall and pretty big basswood that toppled over in the wind last spring that I'll be processing soon. If say it's probably 20-24" in diameter. It's nice and straight and clean too, no bug holes like the one I've been burning.

    I'm down to just a few splits of that first basswood so it's probably on to straight elm or elm and beech soon.

    Just had a good batch of sleet and freezing rain come through. Temps hovering the freezing mark. Won't split any wood until this passes, but rather reload the stove and eat some leftovers.

    I was burning pine in the outside fireplace but got tired of getting plunked by snow bombs coming off the pines, can you say wet.

    Trying to have small fires in warmer weather.
    One split of maple and one split of pine, no more.
    48º out, 75º in.

    might have to open a window to sleep.

    Been burning off the white oak stack in "front" of my house that is shaded and hasn't been covered to cull through the uglies - last time I stack wood in a shaded area
    there are so many pieces of punk or beetle dust. It's all bone dry thanks to this drought
