    I burned from the ugly pile the last 2 days and set aside a few that wouldn't fit in the stove. 20210120_021524.jpg 20210119_170550.jpg 20210120_021446.jpg

    A bit short but most of us have not yet had to fill the stove as we have not needed much heat this year. I have a feeling that could change soon.

    Uglies are a pain but when you burn a bunch up it feels good to know that you are leaving your regular stacks alone! Almost like cheating the Power Company twice.

    These uglies are mostly noodled pieces from 2 huge maples I had cut down 3 years ago.
    On average I'd guess 50% of my firewood is red alder and big leaf maple (some paper birch too). It doesn't have the BTUs of hardwoods in other parts of the country.
