What is a filler? I have never heard that term used to describe firewood.
For me a burn lasts as long as there is enough heat coming from the stove. in normal winter weather I think that means my stovetop thermometer...

A maple with the seeds hanging off today (winter) is likely to be a Box Elder. Box Elder is also known as Ashleaf Maple because it is a maple with...

I avoid it altogether because I get really long-lasting rashes that look like leprosy and itch like mad. If I had to cut wood with PI, I'd wait...

There are at least two different types of lichen on that tree, the yellow one and the grey one that is all over the tree wherever the yellow one...
I think it is American Sycamore. Check out this picture: [IMG] You can see the typical white Sycamore bark on the upper tree, but on the lower...
