Second load of aspen in for the night to take the chill off. Really liking it as a shoulder season wood.

in the nw N.C. foothills.....
it's not terrible out at 9:30pm EST.... it's 55F outside, on it's way to overnight 39F.
After weeks of 'accruing cold soak'(low latent heat) into the structure, tonight begins the battle to regain the comfort warmth....
It's white pine limbs, and yellow pine splits kicking off the burning season officially.
I abhor burning pine. But Hurricane Helene '24 dropped six pines across the yard and driveway.
The biggest was 36" diameter and smallest was 20" diameter.
I got at least ten cords from them all, and that's being modest and conservative estimate.
Heck, I've got probably a whole months worth of limbs to burn.....
not the 10" stuff, the 2" stuff.
At least I don't have to burn the dwindling cords of Red Oak so quickly now...
Burning season 25-26?

Welcome to Year Ten.
I’m also burning Aspen tonight and it really took off and offgassed for the first half hour. I had the air shut all the way down to #0. I’m going to have to start mixing in some Oak because this Aspen is too dry and doesn’t last long.

I've got mostly cherry with a couple of aspen and pine tonight.

It's sunny and 48 here in Michigan and I'm working from home, so I just tossed a few splits of mixed "shoulder wood" in the stove, to warm the house a few degrees. Perfect time of year to get rid of my less-than-desirables from the wood pile.
