I have heard the term shoulder season here, I assume that means burning your junk wood. My Property is heavily wooded and I have lots of downed wood everywhere.
I have alot of maple trees (saplings) that I cut and bucked in Febuary and March. They are about 3-7 inches in diameter and seem really dry. I know they will not have alot BTU's but I am thinking quick hot burns will take the chill out of the house when temps are in the 30's . I also have a pile of uglies that i will cut into any shape that will fit into the firebox I am hoping these will be better for longer burns.
Also do you burn twigs and branches? or is that a total waste of time.
