Well, I am at the bottom of the pile and that's black oak and old growth doug fir, not too shabby. I'll make it to May, no problem.

Cold nights, sunny, cloudy & windy days.
 
pallets in the chimnea - the stove is cleaned up and shut down for the year. i took the handle off to try to correct a bent latch and spring has finally shown up here on Long Island.
also on a similar note; I do not have a single log to split...glad my friend and I went to go pick up his TW-7 from being overhauled.
 
Of all things I am burning the unusable posts and studs from an hog barn I tore down. Most of it is rough cut oak and full of nails. When I shut the OWB down I'll sift the ashes and scrap the nails.
 
Still cold enough here to burn some mornings if was needed in the garage.

However, recently have just been burning camp wood while hunting for some wild leeks...
 
Right at freezing this am started the fire and burned Alder till about noon just started the fire about 15 minutes ago and burning Alder

Just over a cord of dried Alder left over from last year and about 1 cord of birch split and stacked cut last month and close to 2 cords split and stack Alder cut the last few days for next year :msp_smile:

Only need 3 more cords to cut and I've supplied 4 house holds with fire wood for next winter :msp_smile:
 
Birch, birch and more birch. 19 wed morning looks like it might be a little warmer this morning, mid 20's. wood season will be with us for awhile longer.
 
At this point? Mostly gas as we're pretty much out of wood for the season. Just bought the house in Dec, so intentionally went a bit light on buying wood as I didn't have a good feel for what we'd need (previous owner didn't use the wood stove!) and buying firewood around here isn't cheap. We won't have this problem in future years... I've got about 5 cords cut, split and mostly stacked already which should easily take us through next winter and I'll start working on collecting another 5 for the year after that once we get through mud season.
 
Ash, Red Oak, Maple and Hickory - all storm damage cut here on the farm. Two year supply seasoned and stacked. Working on year three now but so far only Ash and White Oak.

Yup..........That's me too. Everything sealed up for next year. But I'm still cutting and splitting.
 
Burning time today. With a late spring already, I'm dying to get some work done. Running out of indoor projects (at least without opening a whole can of worms). And while I'm whining, what's up with these temps? 40 f yesterday at 7:00am, 85f by 3:00pm. Tomorrow, back in the mid to low 30's.
 
ive been considering pellets ,what kind of chain are you guys using to cut your pellets with ? ;)
 
It's still winter here, no sign of spring yet... still have a little ice and snow in places, temps barely make it into the 40's and many overnights drop below freezing. The predictions are snow this afternoon, tonight and into tomorrow... this is the longest winter I can ever remember, with still no change in the 10-day forecast. We can't even catch-a-break and get any sun to shine... it sucks.
It's getting old... really, really, friggin' old.
I started burning my (so-called) "shoulder season" wood way too soon and ran out near a month ago. I've been burning oak the last few weeks... oak I wasn't planning on burning until next January!! Looks like I'll still be burning next year's wood in May!
