I let it burn down but my stove top temps take a dive. They go from 450* to 250* and with 0* temps outside the house temperatures start taking a...
I don’t have any pine or cottonwood in my stacks sooo, [ATTACH] I’ve got boat loads of coals. I’ve been burning ash, honeylocust, and mulberry....
Wet year here and I’ve noticed some of my wood not burning like it should. I brought some 3 yr old white ash that has been hit or mis as far as...
I don’t mind leaving some wood on the ground. It gives bugs places to live, which helps the food chain and returns some nutrients to the ground....
-6* and windy. The wind is making it kind of hard to keep up. I can normally get the downstairs temperature up to 75* fairly quickly but this...
I was thinking red maple. Can you get a picture of a twig?
We are around 60-70% Wood heat. I run the heat pump when it’s around 50* outside just to use it some. It also runs some when we are gone for...
We are 34* and raining. It’s suppose to switch to ice and then snow. Time will tell I suppose. In the meantime I have a stack of hackberry on the...
22 degrees outside this morning. Ash and walnut are going to get us through the day. Colder temps are suppose to move into the area next week,...
That doesn’t look good at all. Almost like it needs air, or someplace for the air to go. It looks like a backdraft in a ventilation limited house...
That will make really nice firewood. I’m going to miss ash when it’s all gone. Keep bustin that ash!
Yes and no. It was a relatively dry spring, so that helped cut the population down. I also have a fogger that I use a few hours before we go out,...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] You have to zoom in to see the fire pit. These are the only pictures I have of it, from outdoor movie night.
Starting to get colder in central Indiana for sure. It’s kind of nice not throttling the stove down, but letting her eat! She’s been on a diet of...
We see a lot of black ants in maples here. The ants get in weak wet wood. I always just split it, knock the ants on the ground and step on them....
38* F here at the moment. I moved a facecird of mixed hardwoods into the barn before the last rain. Mostly a mix of walnut, ash, and mulberry. I...
I burn a lot of hackberry. I like it. I would rank it a notch below ash, but above silver maple.
I’ve burned maybe 2/3 of a cord. It’s all been ash and hackberry. Warm weather for another day will help save the wood, but then the temps drop...
Very mild temps in central Indiana. 47*F right now. A load of ash and hackberry warmed the house up this morning. Now the sun shine is doing the...
Yes, a little rain on the already dry wood will be gone quickly if there is a decent breeze. I also suggest staging some wood near your stove to...
