It’s going to be lots of Black Birch and Red Oak this burning season. I just added 3 splits of the birch and the secondaries are burning nice.

"lots of Black Birch" I like black birch too. There's quite a bit of it in this area. Have you scored any Black Locust ?
There's still a lot of wood to scrounge as the war on trees continues here in CT.

I have scored a little Black Locust, maybe a 1/4 cord among my burning this winter.

More pine in the Liberty today. We had a wood rack open in the basement so we brought more pine in.
Pine this time of year, even at that, it's a bit too warm for my set up to really function super well.

Last year at this time in October we had switched to hardwood because of the cold but this year it's more white pine.

Pine seem to be very popular here. I thought we were not supposed to burn pine in a wood stove

No hard hard wood yet just birch, ash, and tulip. This stuff has been seasoning for 4 years and it's drier than a dog fart.

More white pine in the Liberty for heat tonight. We'll burn pine until the weather gets colder which I don't see coming at us in the first half of November but that can change quick.

I've been in the 30s for overnights the past week and finally last night in the 40s with a high today of 61 so no burning today and probably none tonight.
Monday I burned up the last of my aspen and onto our Ash and Maple chunk wood (uglies) . I have a bunch of small stuff and uglies I like to burn during the warmer nights (above 30).
This time last year I was burning 24/7 with overnights in the low 20s. I'm actually quite happy I'm only burning off and on up to November. I went through at least 6 cords last year and at this point last year I was a face cord down already. Hoping I can hold off a little longer for the 24/7 burning until middle of November. That would make my year! Don't get me wrong I like burning but I don't want to have another season like last year, it went on way too long.

It's been raining pretty good for the last two days with it turning over to snow this afternoon so we didn't get any pine in so we'll burn some soft and hard maple tonight.
Hopefully tomorrow we'll get a few loads of pine in and maybe later this week we'll get about six bags of pellets just so we can see if the old yankee pellet stove works. We use it with the wood stove once it gets real cold out, we set it at a certain temp so when the wood stove temp drops the pellet stove kicks on. Last year when it was so cold, we burned 53 bags for the entire winter.
We had the pellet stove before the wood stove but once we purchased the land I cut on and the price of pellets hit six bucks a bag, we had the wood stove installed.

Western Red Cedar, lots and lots of cedar! Great for the shoulder season, of which we're having an extended one - it was 13C here yesterday.

Did my first back to back burn yesterday all ash, I'm really hoping to be able to hold out for another week till 24/7 burning. Also burned through my bin of uglies and onto my red maple and ash. Quite happy with how dry the wood is from being harvested last year during the winter. My dad covered my other wood up at his place about the end of September, not sure how dry that is I was planning on checking next time im up to see how much longer it has.
