What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Got some super cedars to finally try out. More crumbly than I thought they’d be breaking a chunk off but they surd work without kindling.

White pine is definitely a primo shoulder season wood. Burns real hot and fast and raises temp in the house in the chilly morning to where I don’t even need to fire it up at night.

I've been using SuperCedars for probably 10 years now, maybe longer. I've found the trick to getting a clean break with minimal crumble is speed. Snap then fast and they break right on the line defined by your fingertips, and without going to fragments. I break them in the wrapper, then puncuture the stretched wrapper with a finger after the first half break. This keeps any crumbs that do occur in the wrapper, which I can shake out inside the stove after extracting the piece I want.
