Full load of ash tonight.
 
This has been a great winter in terms of burning so far! Softwood had been on the menu 90% of the time.
Let the stove go cold overnight. NG is soooo cheap these days.

Yeah, I could not post at all last night. All good now thank you mods.
 
Last night burnt off all my remaining bark. Finally emptied the ugly/short bin, this has been my almost exclusive wood source this winter!
 
Loaded both stoves with white oak today. Going to be mid-50's today, which just means the boiler will run less. ;lol
 
Ash, Silver maple and some Cherry.........sitting next to the cold IR.......just waiting for the temps to drop again so they can jump in!
 
Packed full of red alder, three years seasoned, and stove idling as low as possible.
 
The temps outside are starting to drop again ahead of tomorrow's snow, so I'm firing up some more walnut before bed. I guess I didn't realize I had so walnut in my mix piles. It's been three years since I stacked them, though.
 
A few pieces of oak left from last night's burn, damn warm weather makes it hard to judge, some mediocre catalpa, with some 4 year old little pieces stuffed in the cracks. Temps are slowing creeping back down, but the wind is supposed to be crazy today.
 
Same here. What I loaded two nights ago is now fizzling out in one stove, and what I loaded yesterday morning still going strong in the other. Rain and an absurd 65F today, so no fresh wood in the stoves today.
 
had my stacks planned out for winter being normal not in the 40's.no fuel in the furnace so unfortunately im wasting red oak in my stove right now.keeping it pretty choked down,still plenty warm in the house.
went through all my pre winter shoulder wood,have some shoulder wood waiting for early spring also.

Oak and white birch. The animals know the best place for a nap.
 
A mix of pinion pine and juniper, as that is all that is around here in New Mexico. Burns fast-ish and hot, but smells great!

Junk mail, When its burning its pine during the day and oak overnight.
 
Silver maple, just burning the last couple of hours to take the chill out of the air and keep the pregnant one warm. She gets the crap kicked out of her if the kid feels cold.

Looks like I'll need to break out the better stuff again early next week.
 
Ash lots of ash, stove is still 80° and house I'd comfy. It's been burning down since yesterday, been warm.
Maybe get her up again tomorrow
 
Both stoves going again tonight. Oak and sassafras. 17" long splits, with 3" off-cuts piled on top. Damn, I'll be glad when I'm done with this 20" wood. About 12 cords left, I think.
 
Black Locust yesterday. Black Locust today. Black Locust tomorrow.

I did quite a bit of trimming in our orchards last winter and this winter, including cherry, plumb, chestnut, walnut, almond, oak, mulberry, apple, and pear. But will not use until next winter because I still have plenty of seasoned... wait for it.... Black Locust.
