As my tag indicates, I am new to wood burning having just bought my insert earlier this season. Started the season burning about 3/4's of a cord that I had bought two years ago to use from time to time in my open fireplace. That wood burned beautifully. Then, as it disappeared, I bought another cord of 'seasoned' wood from the tree service that I bought the original wood from. The difference between the new v. old is like night and day. The new wood is difficult to start and I am finding that I am having to run the damper wide open to get the temp into the burn zone.
From my own limited personal experience noted above and from what I have learned reading these posts it is crystal clear to me that I need to get more wood as soon as possible to start getting ready for next year. This year, I will just have to make due with the questionable 'seasoned' wood that I will be able to locate at this point.
Oh, and by the way it just snowed a bunch in CT.
