Still working through hemlock. Slowly starting to see the hard maple row in the wood shed. It’s 26 out there today and the hemlock is doing surprisingly ok. The stove at the lake (BK) gets fed anything pretty much, cedar, hemlock, basswood, white birch....that thing is not fussy.
 
NOAA has us heading to a low of 8 tonight, it's 11.5 at 10:18. The Liberty has cherry,maple and three nice size splits of yellow birch going with the pellet stove going in the other corner of the basement.
 
It was 7.4 this morning with more yellow birch and cherry going in the Liberty, the pellet stove is off for the day.
 
It's 23.9 tonight with another load of cherry,maple and some yellow birch in the Liberty.
 
Full load of walnut. Not to cold tonight but quite windy.
 
We had 20 this morning with another load of yellow birch providing the heat.
 
A primer load of 2 sticks of post oak. Got home late and didnt want to fill it up....would have messed up my overnight.

Temps haven't been to bad but the wind has made it seem colder the last couple of days. I have a mix of locust and ash in the stoves to keep the chill away.

Oddly enough, I’ve been burning loads of willow due to the mild temps for daytime burns. Oak loads at night tho. I had big reservations about the willow, but it’s been doing the job. Don’t get me wrong, it’s super light and I have to reload about every 2-3 hours, but it’s crap wood I need to burn. Been drying for a few years now so it doesn’t have much life left to it. It’s not been as bad as I thought tho. And it’s letting me save my harder stuff for Jan-March.
