Same old locust and oak...very nice combo.
 
Back at the lake this weekend, playing with the Princess. Seven splits of basswood should provide decent heat til tomorrow afternoon. Still unseasonably warm here. Calling for 8-10” of snow tomorrow. Then A bit of a normal Jan temps starting Mon. Loaded the VC with sugar maple before leaving the city.
 
We had temps in the mid 40's today but the rain and snow moved in so we are back to the 30's now. Cedar splits and ash feeding both stoves.
 
Reloaded the Princess about an hr ago with hemlock and white birch splits. We actually got 16-17 inches of wet snow. The trees are not liking it. DA09FF32-AC93-4998-92AE-ABF2E5005273.jpeg

Back from the new arrival; got us a little boy (1st kid) hectic times. Weather during day unusually warm 40-50s almost hit 60 our first day back I heard of for this month. Should be cold again in a week. Low tonight headed for teens. Trusty pine saves the night again.

Was in 30s yesterday. Only running the insert. Load of elm last night, filled with pine this morning. Installed a better blockoff plate and it seems to be heating better. Carried the load last night and only lost 2 degrees.
 
Have some locust, oak and walnut going tonight. First fire since thursday, but that's because we were gone for a couple days. So far, it's been a very mild winter here.

@MMH, congratulations on the new arrival, exciting times in your household!
 
Fired up the Tundra yesterday. Loaded with oak and elm before I left for work this morning.
 
Ash and walnut with some cedar splits here and there to keep the house warm temps have not been to bad in the upper 20's at night and 30's during the day.
