Last May my husband and I relocated to East Tennessee. The house we bought has a Vermont Castings Sequoia (mfg. 11/2005) fireplace insert. We sought the help of a professional and made the necessary changes and replacements necessary for the safe operation of the unit. Good thing, too. Won't go into that.
We are learning quite a bit about the unit and have used it as a primary heat source when our heat pump blower died a couple of weeks ago during a cold spell.
Over the summer we split and stacked about two and one half cords of wood for next year which came from three trees on our property. They were Hack berry, Yellow Poplar and Elm. Not high output burners but hardwood nonetheless. That was a lot of work. We've gotten seasoned White Oak for this year.
Going forward can we mix seasoned woods of different varieties or is that not a good idea?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
