At least 90% red oak, with a smaller amount of white pine, tulip poplar, white oak, cherry, and sycamore.
No snow here, rain and up to 70 tomorrow but highs only in the 40s this weekend. Turning colder but not real cold yet. Still saving the good oak...
I hear ya - furnace did not turn on at all last year and I don't intend for it to this year either. As for how much wood I've burned, it's too...
My wife can build a fire probably better than I can. Or at least as good. I had to give her a little lesson on keeping the stove in the right...
Yes colder weather will be here soon enough! Welcome Hobie!
I cut mostly in the National Forest, so I cut or split the wood right there into pieces I can pick up and put on the truck. Then I dump the...
I think 75 would be fine for cutting as long as humidity is low. After cutting this summer when it was in the 90s and very humid, 75 sounds great!
Red oak is my go-to wood once winter really gets going. I have burned some Black Locust but not enough to really say how hot it is. Never...
Beautiful weather here too - hit 75 today. Have not had a fire in a week or so. This fall I've burned more wood outside than inside.
Pine, poplar, cedar, sycamore, and some maple are the shoulder season wood that I have. I also burn chunks and uglies during this time. As for...
We should all get a large house somewhere. There'd be enough wood for the rest of our lives AND enough to barter for beer. What more do you need?
Been burning uglies on and off through October - hoping to get through another winter without turning on the propane so now we're lighting small...
25 cords c/s/s Hoping to get more tomorrow but it probably won't be split or stacked for awhile
Top-down fire starting and what to do, or not do, with ashes. Also, how to adjust the air flow throughout the burn cycle.
Dave - while your stacks look great, I really only clicked for the pic of the mountains!
25 cords c/s/s - slightly less since I've been burning a little here and there in October. At this point I'm burning campfire wood and chunks and...
I'll be cutting throughout this winter and spring....for the year 2020
I agree - sugar maple is very good wood. It may be ready in a year under the right conditions (split small, top-covered, off the ground) but it...
34 this morning - many around me got their first frost yesterday morning. First freeze is coming soon. Burned some chunks and ugly pieces left...
We've got a frost warning tonight and I think a freeze warning on Monday night. Hauled in some chunks and ugly pieces and a little bit of pine....
