FireAnt, if mother nature will hold off on the snow and give us the month of January for cutting I'll be happy.
Happy New Year

we're at about 1.5 cord used so far, give or take a few cu. inches :cheese: , so at this rate, we might use less than 4 cord this winter. That would be unheard of for us, because for the last 4 years we've used 4 2/3 cord/year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That's my strategy Zap. You get a stretch like we are in right now and you go right back to that shoulder pile even in January.
SolarAndWood said:Generally chunks and uglies, have a load in now. I think I have only burned 1/2 cord of the good stuff so far and that was during that cold stretch when the heap was buried in snow. I got about 8 cord of silver maple this year though and haven't burned it before. Split it big, we'll see how it fits in the mix.

PapaDave, if we can burn only four cord heating from the basement we would be happy. For the next heating season I plan on having 2-3 cord of aspen for the shoulder season which will save on our hardwood, I have about 2 cord cut and split plus stacked.

I have no idea why I missed your response, but that's my plan too.
I'm shooting for popple and spruce though. I've got both, but my sis-in-laws place has some HUGE popple, and some are on the ground already. :coolsmile:
I had some spruce this past fall, and that worked great to start the season. I bought the oak, so anytime I can save some of it, it's good.
