    Countryboy, What are you burning all that wood in? That's an amazing ensemble of wood.

    I mostly burn a species known as "ligna nullum crimen."

    Mostly white pine and red/white oak in the house. In the kiln I burn about a cord of "softwood" and a cord of "hardwood" delivered as slabs at a time. Hardwood is mixed oak, maple, ash, hickory, etc

    The stove seems to love white oak. I have been burning silver maple, oak , ash and elm. I dont like burning elm or ash , elm dosn't seem to burn well and ash burns like pine.

    That's a several year supply. My goal is to get enough wood now so that when my wife and I have children I can spend more time at home with them rather than cutting and splitting wood so often.

    That's what the locust and hedge are for (rot resistant wood for long term storage).

    Oak, I just dont think you can beat it. minus the length to season, you'll never be more satisfied.
    Then again I would burn almost anything I could get my hands on.

    But Oak

    This is like a woodburner's Christmas wish list. "Dear Santa, I have been a good scrounger, and for Christmas I want 3 1/2 cords of hedge..."
