    Yep, I agree. But here in my part of the Dakotas, we can get slammed one week then it's warm the next week. So I'm not going to keep the cottonwood until next fall. Just keep burning what I've got, until we really need it.

    I burned cottonwood almost exclusively 1 winter in Glennallen. We had plenty of 45 to 55 below ambient that winter. Cottonwood did fine. Made a good coal. Or at least, much better than spruce does.

    Had a productive day today. Considering the temps. It got up to 13 below today. . Down to 24 underneath at the moment. Getting ready to load the stove for the night. I think I will use rounds of Aspen tonight.
