Father and I had our farms timbered this spring. Oak, cherry, and maple. Got more tops to cut than I can handle. But I'm workin on it.:clap:
 
Like others, I'm running out of the fall shoulder wood. Elm, soft maple and some ash at night. Hate to get into the hickory and oak with this warmer weather but thats the way it goes. I do have more maple and ash but its all at the back of the shed and wont get to it until spring.
 
I've been burning just a little bit of apple in the fireplace... once this is out then it is slabwood until I get my stove installed in place of the ineffiecient fireplace around xmas when I'm off for work.

A Good Mix...

(1) Ash
(2) Locust
(3) Oak
(4) Mulberry
(5) Hackberry
(6) Walnut
(7) American and Red Elm
(8) Maple

Mix them all together on occasion. (5) through (8) keep all the rest burning like gangbusters. If no mix, good old (1) can do it all by itself. If cold and windy enough, like now, no mix is required because they all burn like crazy.
 
It's 12[sup]o[/sup] and dropping outside this morning, with an 18 MPH northwest wind putting the windchill well below zero... the firebox is full of oak! It was 65[sup]o[/sup] in the house when I climbed out'a bed a 4:00 this morning, but now it's a comfortable 70[sup]o[/sup]. Just gotta' love that oak when ya' want real heat.
 
Been burning a mix in the OWB. Very small loads in the evening for over nite heat and letting the coals cruise thru the day. Got the "temp set" turned down to 155 degrees, will turn things up if/when it gets cold.
Using a wood shed,(16x25), it's kinda' tuff to segregate the choice wood from the run of the mill wood so it all gets stacked together with fresh cut stuff on one side and well seasoned on the other. I have, for the most part, been tossing the locust, hedge and oak of to the side. I sure would like to have a few truck loads of poplar in the shed for this time of year/this mild weather.
 
Well, that sucks..

intakes used to be easy, today, dang half a day plumbing involved just to get to them...

Yeah, it's the 2nd one, first one done at 136k now less than 40k later it looks like it's failing again. Outbacks are notorious for HGs. Called Subaru of America and they said they can't do anything about it If only they had the same warranty as Fiskars :laugh:.
 
A mix of Sugar Maple, Red Oak, Paper Birch, and Norway Pine.

That's just what happens to be in the pile at the current spot I'm at in it.
 
burning waste oil in my garage gravity feed to the barrel stove stale diesel and used oil burns really hot. now in my house my old ashley circulator is stoked up with seasoned hickory and locust. :popcorn:
