shoulder season's coming....what's on your stove's "menu"?

It must be hell having all that honey locust, hedge,oak, and mulberry. I will take a hit and exchange some pine for that hedge if you want. Don't wait too long or I may change my mind. Matter of fact, you shouldn't think about it, its a good offer, so you should just do it!

 

Yea, that's a shame your saddled with all that locust, hedge and mulberry.... Hard to light and burns too long too..

I have some nice Aspen for trading...

 

You shouldn't burn PINE
That's bad bad stuff
Carry on

 

*PIST* why do you think I'm trying to get rid of it! That stuff is gonna burn down my house! Don't tell anyone!

 

1.83 Cord (6 NYS face cord) of Hemlock, White Pine with some Bigtooth Aspen.
3.05 Cord (10 Face Cord) of Cherry
Plenty of Beech, Sugar Maple and some nice Ironwood. In a normal winter we'll burn 1.22 cord of Beech and Sugar Maple.

 

Got some 4 year birch
Last season's left overs in the basement.

 

Spruce and silver maple are in my shoulder pile. There isn't much of it though. I have a lot of spruce that was dropped this spring but that's sitting another year at least.

Most of the rest of my pile is white ash. Sucks that the borers killed it, but at least I can put it to use.

 

This reminds me, I have a pile of Hemlock in the woods I split a couple of years ago. I need to get it out for the shoulder season.

 

Wood.

Still have another month + before I have an plans on firing up my stove though.

 

Had a lady contact me today, they are in need of wood now, they are cold.. I never do understand folks that depend on wood heat waiting until the last second.
Last winter, around Christmas time, I brought wood to another lady, they were burning telephone books and garbage to try and keep warm cause they ran out of wood.

 

Hoping to not burn until late Dec, early Jan. Had a new 19 seer heat pump installed, going to see how she performs.

 

Lets see......well i have bout 4 cord to burn this year...some red and white oak...locust...cherry, sycamore..and hackberry...we should stay plenty warm this year...oh an a lil yellow poplar

 

Sucks to be you

 

Shoulder wood for me is all the punks, uglies and shorts collected through the years. I keep everything.
Theres probably 6-8 varieties in the pile. I have a small corral thats 10'x8' and pallet height high. The
pieces are dried at another site and brought home during the summer and tossed into the pen. I'll burn all that
this fall. Looking forward to this season

 

I've got nothing but EAB killed ash this year. Shoulder season will get chinks and uglies but that's only about a face cord of my stacks.
Honestly, I should have gotten more wood this year for next, but I am just gonna hit it hard once the leaves fall and temps drop.
I have a cord of good dry 2 y/o sugar maple at deer camp I can go get if absolutely necessary.

 

Red maple mostly prolly mix it with a little ash. I didnt have enough seasoned for cold weather until a generous brother from here said he could help me out!!

 

Silver maple, walnut, cherry, ash, mulberry, honey locust,and some red and white oak. Also have a little hackberry but don't know if I'll get to it.

 

I have around a cord of some aspen/poplar, and a 15' anthill that was at the base of that massive ash I hauled from the neighbor's house. Handful of uglies too. The hardest stuff I have ready for this year, is soft maple. Going to be a steady diet of those until the better hardwoods that I'm hauling are dry enough.

You ever burn that ironwood? How is it? That, and some type of elm, are my main understory species. Never burned any of that yet, but I may need to remove a couple to open some trails up better.
