Not yur typical shoulder season wood

But only because they are short.

 

Lookin like locust.....good chit

 

Match madness champion!

 

Very nice & long burning wood there

My shoulder season wood didn't make it past the 1st round:


Spring & Fall shoulder wood, Cold day wood, Windy day wood, sub-zero day wood.
it's my all season wood.

 

burn what ya got

 

You ever burn anything other than birch Dave?

 

When I had too, I burned spruce. Since I started using the state firewood permits ($10/cord)
With the state permit, I've become kinda a wood snob.
Spruce & birch at the cutting area, I work a little harder getting only birch but;
with birch having 23.6 mil BTU / cord & spruce having 18.1 mill BTU/cord

That way I get the best bang (BTUs) for my $$-buck.

I use the other wood I scrounge up (& birch uglies) for the outside fire pit.
In the fire pit stacks I have cottonwood, aspen, spruce & alder (+ birch uglies)
& I make the splits smaller

 

No tamarack/larch available there? That chart seems wrong, based on half-a-dozen other references. Tamarack should be somewhere around 20 MBTU/cord unless you have a completely different species in AK.

 

In Alaska, the Tamarack just about all died off in the 70s , Larch beetle infestation.
There's a few in the wild , most are in yards.

 

If I were you, I would NOT burn white birch!!

 

Nice fire pit area, why don't you put a roof on

 

When the wife wants warmed up... It d0esn't matter what kind of wood is there, it gets burned

 

on the "to do" list
