I say probably cause I'm no expert. I burn firewood, that's it. I know just a handful by sight. When I zoomed in to pic, it looks like maple to me. Every time I guess on the wood the father in law corrects me. He's the expert but not so good at teaching. Unfortunately if you don't know something in his eyes your an idiot. But he's old & has bad ticker so I just leave it be. Grateful for the wood though
The one James posted a picture of recently was one of those.

it was walnut. That's why there were no pictures of it turned into firewood.The one James posted a picture of recently was one of those.
The leaves looked like walnut, he said no walnut, the bark looked like ash/elm as did the other closeup of the leaves. I'm sure if either of us were there we would have been able to tell quickly, maybe
Little fire this morning to take the chill off. Apparently the smaller the fire the bigger the picture.
I had the insert running last night. I still need to figure the thing out. I had the family room up to 80°F last night. The rest of the house was in the low 70s. The wife was not pleased - that's just too damn hot.
We are roughly the same latitude as the rocky mountains. Whole different world.
Yes. A/C fan was running, moving air all around the house, and I had 9" fans blowing air into and out of the family room. That insert just puts out that much heat.
No it’s all private woods around here but lots of farmers are happy to have help cleaning out fencelines. We are fairly temperate due to our proximity to the Great Lakes.
Less wood. The air was shut down as low as it would go, AND I had the stove's circulating blower turned off. This was the first real burn for heat and I'm still learning the stove.
Larger denser piece of wood won’t burn as fast or hot as smaller less dense wood.
