    This is my first year with a woodstove. All shoulder season I have been burning red maple and cherry. Last night it was 23 outside, a nice crisp coating of frost on the lawn, and I just had that cold weather vibe going so I decided to try my first full load of 17% white ash. Woooo baby I'm loving that white ash. Stove cruised noticeably longer and hotter. If white ash is this good I can't even imagine what my hickory, black birch, and white oak will be like.

    It's a damp 38 degrees here today, with a day long soaker setting in. About 1/2 of last night's load was still in the stove this morning at 6:30.

    I think so, but it isn't day and night difference. I cleaned the chimney the week before Thanksgiving and it seemed better. Burn times are better, but so is my wood supply and it hasn't really been all that cold yet. All-in-all, I like it and I'm glad I did it.

    Well it's back to burning chuglies here with it hardly getting down into the low 20's at night. Luckily splitting elm produces plenty of them!!
