    I don't know how cold it was this am as I slept in late, it was 39 an hour ago and 41 now. The house was in the 50's so I have a good fire ripping. Oak & Maple. Going out shortly to cut up about 3/4 of a cord of Oak & Cherry. All in 5 or 6 foot lengths.

    My firewood is pretty easy to tell what it is even after 3 or 4 years. I stack rows 2-deep, so the inside usually doesn't get much weathering. The side of the split facing down usually gives a good indication too.

    Oak is overrated, IMO. I know the firewood charts say it isn't, but in my experience it doesn't burn a whole lot longer than some "lesser" firewoods. I don't really notice a huge difference until I get into top tier wood like hedge, locust, or hickory.

    Yesterday was a nice day, 12-14 C or low mid 50 F, and might have hit just below freezing overnight. Already a few degrees above freezing and looking to be another nice day. Wood shed is probably 2 sticks shy of 2 cord after filling her up, and just need to throw about 1/4 cord super dry deadfall to call it a done deal.

    I just came in to eat a nice hot lunch my wife made, it's hitting the spot as it is cold, raw, & windy. In other words perfect cutting weather. I cut through most of the Red Oak in the pile and now started to get into the Cherry. Mrs. NHmm stacked some wood that I had laying around from my last day splitting. A great day!!:saw::stacker:

    Sort of like when you cut it. You know what it is by looking at it. Should not change much just drying out.

    It sure does, the last pieces I put in the stove was at noon. The house is nice and warm. No need for a relight. 36 here now. Mrs. NHMM stacked everything I cut and split, about 3/4 cord. I got it all top covered and we got in just as it got dark.

    We never really got above freezing today and the winds didn't help. Snow & sleet all day kept the woodstove going all day. Approaching 20°F overnight and will load all birch in the oakleaf.
