    Seems to run somewhere between red maple and ash up here. That's white, or paper birch. Yellow and black birch, different story. Black especially throws some monster heat.

    Heck of a score! Seems most of the birch around here doesn't make it too far past 6-8" before snapping off or just giving it up and rotting on the stump.

    Nailed it! I heard recently that they often only have a life span of 40 or so years.

I had about 2 stove loads of last year and decided Christmas morning was a good time to burn it.

    One of the two loads split tonight! A lot of the other load needs to be cut to length. IMG_6294.jpg
