-3/66. Wife threw some pine in while I was still in bed because the furnace kicked in. Assuming there was a major pile of coals. She also did a quick wipe down of the glass 😁. Will be a full load of pine, aspen and black ash going in fairly soon because her smallish load of pine won't last long.

That 10 pm load will the the big maple piece is almost done.
A few minutes shy of 15 hrs. A bit less than I expected but it was and still is in the lower 20s outside. Upstairs 69.
A few sassafras ugly splits, two oak shorties of 10", a piece of locust of 12" and a split of pine now.

The sassafras feels like paper after 4.5 years split and stacked...

I spent half the day splitting Siberian elm. I figured out if I end cut to the splits I want to a little more than the depth of the Stihl MS201 bar á splitting wedge sits nicely in the kerf and splitting is possible for most shapes

Anyway, it’s not too cold here, just hovering around freezing…
So, started á fire at 1900

1 chestnut/ 1 Wht oak
Siberian elm and oak on top
Kindled with hazel/ apple/ oak
