Our choice when the outdoor temperature goes up is to choose to not put as much wood in the stove. I'm anxious to see some of that warmer weather.
How many days till spring? :-/ When temps reach 25+, we keep 'er going with smaller rounds and end pieces.
No Oak here, just the Ash. My choice when the temp goes up is to burn natural gas.xbunzx said:
Starting Sunday, they are calling for plus temps here all week.
I search for red maple, white birch, and cherry in my pile - I'm mostly burning ash this year, but enough of the others mixed in to get loads during temps in the upper 20's / low 30's. Cheers!
While I will miss the joy of a warming fire in the evening, I am really looking forward to getting started on the garden. Early days: Greens (kale, mustard, tatsoi, lettuce, spinach, peas) and eventually ----- Home Grown Tomatoes!

Random thoughts . . .
Warmer temps = not as many fires, firebox not fully loaded and I burn the chunks, punks and uglies that I have been stockpiling . . . along with some of the softwood I have in the woodshed.
Get out the shorts . . . heck . . . I've been wearing shorts all along . . . too warm in the house to wear long pants when the woodstove is running and my wife hates it when I go down to the mailbox to get the mail wearing nothing but my boxer shorts (even though I tell her that from a distance the neighbors will think they are shorts.)

When it is cold we burn Cherry during the day then Sugar Maple or Beech at night then when it warms up we just burn Cherry.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. It ain't over 'till it's over. I'm still making evening fires.bboulier said:
