Got the fire going with some Norway maple, I’m feeding it 4”-5” square elm cutoffs now.

Straight Ash tonight...trying out some of February's harvest that was sopping wet green when it was felled and split...a spring and summer spent in a Holz Hausen exposed to constant sun and wind has left it sub-15% and burning like its soaked in gas! 80 degrees in the stove room, 73 in the far reaches of the main floor, and 72 in the bedrooms upstairs. Been logging $5/day electricity consumption lately, contrasted with the heat pump sucking $15/day in the shoulder season last year.

Whatever is in the woodshed . . . ash, maple and white birch right now I believe.
And pretty happy to have it . . . lost power yesterday morning and while I am generally a pretty optimistic guy I am guessing we will not see power back on for a few days.

this morning was ash and cherry before I left for work. While I've been home, I've been burning some huge poplar splits that are at least 5 years old and feel like styrofoam, yet burn surprisingly long.

Was 35 degrees this morning and the house was 60. My wife complained it was cold, cuz it was. I started the stove, went out and did some splitting. 12 hours later it's almost 10PM and it's now 55 outside and 75 inside. Now my wife complains to too hot...cuz it is. Lmao. Ash and black cherry on today's load up.

Running a load of White Oak tonight...first real cold of the season...no worries..

Silver maple and box elder, from my "I need to get rid of this" stack. Burning fine @ 650 degrees, but I know it will be short lived.

Just touched off a load of locust that I found standing dead in my woods. Had to put a black cherry split in to really get it going fast. Got down to 22F here in Southern Maryland last night. Now headed out to split up another truck load of last year's red oak.

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your install, you did a serious undertaking and it came out great, be very proud of your work, I bet the boys really appreciate having a dad that can conquer anything.
Pine and popular in the daytime and a little ash at night. Mid 30's/20's today and tonight so nothing drastic.
