Since I decided to move my pellet stove to the basement I have been in the market for woods stoves. I was looking at the Jotul 400 today and the new one was the f-50 or something. I also like the Hearthstone Homestead . Anyways , I figured I better start scrounging wood for the next year or two. I inquired with my local DNR and bought a plot permit for 10 bucks. They assigned me a plot to go on and cut down any marked trees. They are all black locust and there must be 15 - 20 pickup loads. Plus a half dozen downed cotton woods. Should I bother with the Cotton woods or just load up on the locust ? Figure it will need a couple years to season . I will need to buy some seasoned stuff for next year unless I can find some over the summer. Thanks.
