What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Stinkpickle]

A load of oak and elm should keep the place warm until we leave for dinner and come back...then probably a reload before bed.

 

[Chimney Smoke]

7 degrees and 25 MPH wind this afternoon at 1PM. A full load of 3 year old red oak is in the menu.

 

[RobbieB]

Nothing at all, just a few ashes. Cleaned out and will remain that way until late fall.

 

[Tar12]

Stuffed her with 12 splits of burr oak...got bad weather rolling in the am.

 

[Jay106n]

Red oak

 

[Stinkpickle]

More white oak and elm. It should start warming up outside in a couple days.

 

[begreen]

Cold ashes. Temp almost hit 60 today. That's heat pump territory for sure.

Wow... how big is that stove?!?

 

[BrotherBart]

Red oak load. 24 degrees and headed down. Pretty much all I burn.

The wind is fierce and the ground is covered with ice. With the low temp and venturi effect on that tall pipe this load is like trying to throw a saddle on a running horse.

 

[fishki]

Half dozen splits of hedge, headed down into the 20's tonite.

 

[BamaScroungr]

Going to bed with pecan, dogwood, osage and persimmon. Saved up the good stuff for tonight, apparently. It may be overkill, but I'll be warm this last Alabama week of winter, damnit.

 

[HisTreeNut]

Oak & maple.

 

[HitzerHillbilly]

Oak and aspen

LOL...I bought the optional fan. I just open the windows and let it work its magic.

I stuffed the stove full for the first time last night with some well seasoned hedge I had stashed back... I was loving that! Bedtime temp was 75 and at roll out this morning after a overnight low of 17 it was 70 degrees with plenty of coals to load up a hedge/burr oak mix

A hodge podge of black locust, beech, red maple, walnut, and mulberry. Just trying to burn some stuff up so I don't have to restack it outside. It's in my barn now.

 

[Mr Learningcurve]

white birch, with a bit of punky (free) ash.

 

[Stinkpickle]

Just loaded with oak and a couple of odd sycamore splits that found their way into my pile.

 

[aussiedog3]

as much 4 year seasoned oak and silver maple as I could stuff in the huge, old Lopi smoke dragon.
Just had the chimney cleaned and she is ready to roar!

 

[Jay106n]

Fully loaded on red oak

How does sycamore burn? I hear it's not much fun to split by hand. Lots of it around, but I haven't run across any in my scrounging yet.

 

[Bspring]

Virginia Pine (puts out heat quickly) and Water Oak (good coals for quick restart). It was 22 here in Dixie this morning but 71 in the house when I woke up.

Fortunately, I got this stuff from a buddy with a splitter three years ago. He didn't mention anything about splitting it, but he splits a lot of elm, so it's probably all relative to him. It burns great, though. Being three years old, it takes off pretty quick.
