I’ll burn wood that looks just like that this winter. No worries that I can see.
I stacked wood under my deck right outside the basement door in April. Hopefully a year’s worth or close to it. I’ll start hauling about a...
Welcome! You’re off to a great start with that shed - especially since it’s open and allows more air to flow. And yes if the wood is split...
I usually hit a nest with the mower once a year but none so far this year! Around here they will settle down in a month or so when the weather turns.
Most of what I burn is red oak. It’s tough to beat if you can give it the time to season right!
55 now at 7:45 AM - only getting up to 75 today! Looking like a nice few days with lower temps and humidity. Turning off the AC for awhile!
I used to not cover at all but after trying it I agree that it makes a big difference. Wood now is under cover 4 years before it is burned. It...
SS wood for me has been mainly wood that I want to get rid of (chunks, punky). This year may be the first year I don’t have any as I burned the...
Unlike many I love the smell of freshly split red oak. It reminds me of fall mornings with my dad gathering wood. I also really like the smell...
I try not to do anything firewood related May-September. Enjoying a summer with my kids that includes beach, camping, kayaking, and grilling....
I’ve burned it inside with no problems although as others have said it burns hot and fast. Because of the great smell I prefer to burn it in the...
If it’s hard to get, punky, knotty, or a hard to split species like gum or sycamore I’ll pass. Being years ahead allows me to be more picky.
Mud season in full effect here. Standing water in parts of the yard and driveway went from ice/snow to mud in 36 hours.
I have 4 plastic trash cans 50 gallons each. That’s enough starter for the whole winter and then some. Filling them all is part of the summer...
Real tough to split and doesn’t burn great - I’d pass.
I keep a pile on the edge of the backyard. I put some on the driveway when it’s icy, and I spread the rest in the garden periodically.
I’ll trade you gum, sycamore and elm for those 3! Since I split by hand and am years ahead I won’t even take those 3 anymore - unless the rounds...
Split it smaller if you can, top cover and set aside. You may not need it this year after all. Or maybe come February mix in a couple pieces of...
Only had a few fires so far but looking like it will pick up soon. Only filled the wood box once all of October.
Got some pine for shoulder season and restarts - never thought twice about mixing it with oak or ash.
