Wood stove woes - wood moisture

As a Long Islander I can say this statement is 100% true and we consider north of Albany ( Canada ) And the Adirondacks are past the arctic circle

I live in the north western foothills of the Adirondacks and I have to tell you, the last few days have felt like we're past the arctic circle.......

I live right in the heart of the Adirondacks, literally 5 minutes from Whiteface Mountain, and you're not kidding about the temps, been darn cold, makes me glad I have a few years ahead on wood.

Amen; we are near Star Lake, not generally quite as cold as you are in the heart of the hills.....

What did you think of these? I have wood but wanted to try these so I just bought several 3 packs.

I've used those. They do relatively well. Maybe a 3 hour burn time.

they're not bad, I like them, i've picked up a few packs and burned them by themselves and mixed with regular wood, burned well both ways
