I would guess basswood. Probably explains why he is giving it away!

True but I would add Free

Yes correct. Free fire wood.

 

[Bill G]

Free is good no matter the species. My boiler never seems to complain. She might smoke a bit and blow smoke at the other 5 boilers among the farms but never say anything

Agreed. I've been the recipient of many dump trailer loads of free pine over the years because people won't burn them in their indoor stoves.
Generally, I'll attempt to mix it in with the good stuff because it burns hot and fast by itself.

Not that they are very popular, but When I got it outdoor forced air stoves were a lot less common than today. This guy is from Ohio and builds them out of his shop. Being he was a small buisiness owner and a face I could actually talk to went a long ways in choosing his stove. Today there are much better options than Hopsco. I had to make improvements to the draft to better control the temperature. The door was poorly insulated so I made improvements there, along with the insulation on the front side unit behind the exterior skin. Functionally speaking The only part I've had to replace is a thermistor, so it's been reliable in that sense. Keeps the house nice and toasty. It can be below zero with the wind blowing and it's a nice 72° inside.
