The only thing I've burnt in the Century this year has been pine. I'll hit the hardwood when it gets colder and I need longer burns. I haven't needed any heat from the 30 yet. Regular cooking has kept the house warm enough.
I'm watching beautiful secondaries dancing above a load of scots pine right now. We scrounge and a lot of folks still believe the pine will burn your house down myth around here so we get a lot of it. I'd bet 90% of what we burn this year will be pine, with maybe a bit of box elder and misc stuff mixed in. I LOVE pine. Easy to find and lighter than oak too (for the lifting of the rounds and stacking), lol.
Huh....that's about 25 min from me - might have to hit that up! I've been burning all pine so far - about a cord for this fall and spring - love it and I get pretty decent burn times from it too. Cheers!
