Wednesday, we made it up to VT in under 2 hours. Normally, that's not a big deal, but the night before Thanksgiving, it surprised us. Going up our road, I was behind the wood guy! He agreed to make an evening delivery. He dumped a bit over a cord from what I could tell. There's a good amount of white birch in there.
We skied every day this long weekend, with the exception of Friday. I stacked the wood and my wife put up the Christmas stuff. I gotta say, using the quad and the trailer is way easier than the wheel barrow! I'll get it tarped before the snow flies...which will be any day now.
Right now, I'm buring ash which was cut and split last year. I can't even describe how much easier it is to burn seasoned wood. Last year, I was burning wood which was delivered in August...not fun...lots of effort to run the stove.
I've also been burning some pine in the morning...and in the evening when we get back from the mountain. It's a great way to save the hardwood for the overnight burns. I can toss in some pine splits and the stove will hang out around 400F (or so). Great for taking the chill off when it's not sub zero outside.
