whats everyone burning right now?

Steve NW WI,

Good point i think i used just over 2 cords of shoulder wood last year myself.
Very little high btu wood last year so you are probably right most of us have burnt most of it last year.

From the looks of it we will burn the rest this winter.
Box elder and poplar are going to look mighty good in the spring

Valuable Black Walnut.

Now, now....:msp_biggrin:


I'm burning the last bit of some walnut as well, and we got that free from a cutter, not this summer, but last. I use the walnut for aroma mostly, and our main staple is year and a half seasoned eucalyptus for raising the temp in short order, and two year seasoned valley oak for overnight.
The walnut is still leaving chunks the next day, even after a thorough burn

Sweet Gum & Box Elder and other light stuff till it gets cold.
Then mostly Mulberry.

You burning in an open fireplace or are you one of those "chimney sniffers" like iowa?! :msp_biggrin:

I've been burning junk mainly. Pine, poplar, splitter trash, sawdust, mystery wood, small rounds, etc, with a split of oak mixed in for the overnite or at-work-all-day burns.

Been burning red oak, white oak, hard maple, birch, few sticks of popple, some black ash, and some white ash. All my faster burning wood got buried in the wood pile last winter. I'll probably get to that in about January

one thing seems to be common its warmer all around the country. are we complaing? im not sure myself, i like burning 24/7 but last year half the work or should i say same work just this year have 3 extra cords

Red maple at the moment, but about out of it. Next will be red oak, then sassafras, then pecan, and finish off the burning season with silver maple and american elm.

Got home and the house was down to 65* with a predicted low of 50* for tonight so I decided to build alittle fire so it's not chilly in the morning. Got some cherry and red oak burning away in the ol' fisher trying very carefully not to let it get away from me.

I have a nose like a dog. A few wisps sneaking out the door when you open it leaves a scent that sticks in the house for several hours. also, in the morning when I walk my wife out and see her off, the court that we're in has aroma from the walnut I put in the stove a couple hours prior. I like walnut for its' ability to to scent the air without actually getting much of that burnt odor that acompanies woods like eucalyptus and others. Don't get me wrong; I like eucalyptus for its dependable heat output in short order, and if you don't cure it to death, it offers good nasal opening properties around campfires and outdoor firepits. I think the walnut is just not quite as harsh, and much more pleasant to wake up to

And by the way, we still have one upstairs, but it's illegal to build an open fireplace in this county now, and burning in an existing one is frowned upon even in optimum air quality conditions, and forbidden on other days. I like the open hearth fire, but it's not worth the harrassment from the farenheit 451 storm troopers when they see, or someone reports the use of it

Just started using my splits yesterday. Uglies are done till next yr. All soft maple for the day. ash and oak for night. Until it gets cold. then the piles change.

HOLY CRAP! I thought you lived in America.

American lives in me, but unfortunately not in many of my neighbors, and a whole lot of my government officials

 

[BrokenToys]

cherry and pear uglies still; with random pieces of some weird cedar-like tree as quick fire starting.

 

[Erik B]

Right now I am burning cherry and a few pieces of box elder.
