Neighbor a few miles away has been leaving sign for free firewood. Naturally I stopped and saw it was cut Down into reasonable log sizes and rounds. Looked dead, got back split it and moisture meter reads low 20's. Been getting as much as I can due to being able to burn this year. I am figuring it to be shoulder season wood and good to mix with hardwoods. What have other's experiences been with balsam fir?
) . . . they also are good for making kindling.
Well said. I love having some wood that dries easy and is a good fit for those in between times. I cant tell you how many times my busy life gets in the way of my wood burning lol! Being able to get the stove hot for those in between scheduled burns is invaluable.
I remember having some poplar in my stacks a few years back. I had very little experience burning it and was amazed at how light it was and thought It was perfect for the stove that night. I stuck my moisture meter in it and it read 24%! I threw it back in the stacks....
