I got to a new layer in one of my stacks which is a sugar maple mixed with a white birch so that's what I just loaded up.
I have been burning mostly silver maple and red oak so the birch has been a lot more reloading.
I cut these two trees down for a customer 2 years ago so it is nice to finally be burning it.

Single digits below zero last night (and with the wind chill, about 46 below on top of the mountain) so burned a mix of oak, maple and beech. The top of the mountain (Mount Washington) is about 20 minutes as the crow flies however the wind comes down and right over the house so the stove has hardly gone cold since mid-October.

Burning off 2 different stacks right now. One is all 2 year seasoned Black Birch. The other stack is a nice mix of sugar maple, Shag Bark Hickory, and mostly Red Oak.

We had two cold weeks here. Hard maple was on the menu all that time. Incredible how I burnt almost two months with hemlock and emptied the ash box twice in that time. Hard maple on the other hand, the box was emptied twice already and pretty much I need to do it again.
Maple is too ashy for me. Burning Black Walnut now ang getting to not like that either. Leaves virtually no coals so as to be able to start up from and btu's not all that either but it was free. Kevin

Maple and cherry are both ashy, burned both this week since it was milder I filled half my ash bucket. I found about 1/4 cord of oak that's been hiding in my racks, I'll use that for the real cold.

Now that is an overnight firebox! I thought my firebox is big but wow. What stove is that, can you burn a face cord at a time? haha
