We had 15.4 this morning with the pellet stove supplying the heat.
 
We have a temp of 22.6 with NOAA calling for a low of 19 tonight so the Lopi Liberty has a load of hard & soft maple in it.
 
We had 23.4 this morning with another load of the maples going in the Liberty.
 
40F here today 4 large red oak splits going in shortly. Going to get things hot then turn it down for a low slow fire . Then I'm heading to the woods and scouting a new hunting area and putting up a tree stand for Muzzle loader season.

A mix of hard wood from a supplier. Seasoned for 2 years he says. Lights up easy and has that hollow sound when you stack them. This is one of them.

Hksvr4 is that ash?
 
Do you have some other pics from some other pieces it looks like ash but the first pic you posted could also be locust. But I'm going to say ash. Great wood.
 
Looks like ash to me. Nice looking stuff.

It's 35.1 tonight and with the house temp at 70 we'll go without a fire.
 
39 and foggy tossed in a few small sticks and splits about an hour ago, air control is almost completely closed. Low and slow tonight just enough to keep the chill and damp at bay.

I've been mostly burning ash and maple, saving oak and hickory for real winter. I also mix bio bricks XL when its cold and have a pallet of NEIL's for the real cold to come.

Dont you have 100 acres of woodland?
We have 142 more or less but since we had the pellet stove before the land I cut on, we still use it. Also heating from the basement, it's always nice to have that constant heat from the pellet stove when the fire from the wood stove starts to die out.

The more or less comes off of the deed from the bigger piece I cut on, the house lot is 5.5 acres and the bigger lot is 136 acres more or less on the deed.
