Take a closer pic of the hickory if you get a chance. I have some stuff that looks just like that but I dont know what it is. Super white, super dry, super light but super hard.

Neither Hickory is light. Sounds like Ash.

Nope. 90% of the stuff I have is ash. Ash is a dead givaway. I can smell that stuff a mile away.

Picture of a different tree that still had some bark. Stem and branch are included. Dead standing, the wood color fades to a blonde almost white, especially if it starts to get punky.

Different tree that blew down. Color is much darker “green”.

Your first pic is ash, second elm.

Felling leaning cottonwoods today for a new fence going up in the spring. Yes I heat the house with the crap!!!

Was outside today doing Christmas lights, let my chickens out for a bit etc. it’s been unseasonably mild, so I grabbed the maul and puttered around the scrounge pile. Split some silver maple (seen here) ash, Manitoba maple, and balsam fir. Felt good to swing the axe except for the tennis elbow. Surprised how much I did without really going at it hard. Anyways, some is stacked for next winter and some for next camping season. Plus the lights are up so my wife will be happy.

Today’s scrounge. I went for the oak but there is also a huge cherry tree down and available. Oak all cut to length by homeowner. A bit too long for my liking but not going to complain.

I heat 3,000sq/ft with one stove. An Englander NC30. Single story ranch. 1,500(ish) upstairs, same in basement. (I'll have to measure my basement to see exactly what I'm dealing with). The advantage I have is natural convection/air flow. The stove is in the basement on the west end of the house. Big hole in floor above stove. Big hole in floor for return air at east end. 64F at the thermostat in the hallway is good for me, which means its like 68F in the living room which is plenty warm for me.

Correction...25x50 is the inside footprint of my house. Single story ranch including basement, bathrooms, closets and hallway, which isn't counted as living space as far as home value goes or the auditors website but its still space you have to heat. 2,500(ish) total sq/ft. With one stove, and plans for further modifying air flow in the works....
