Stay tuned for later today… there’s more to be revealed I understand your stance. It’s one that I adopt cyclically. Right now I’m in the mood to hoard junk. In the spring, I might be turning my nose up at red maple and going for nothing but black locust and white oak. Whatever floats your boat
I hear ya, I’m rather snobby myself. I’ve come a long way from picking up anything made of cellulose and burning it in the stove. That said, some people like to separate their woods by season, outdoor temps. And as I discovered one winter when all I had was Tulip these lessor woods can really heat the house better than the heavy hitters as long as you’re there to keep stuffing it in. No coaling stage, just constant fire. And that being said I’ll mix a little in with general cordage wood but that’s about it. Helps get a stove running out of coals back up and running faster.
