Nice avatar.....

7.5 cord oak from Jan '14.
3/4 cord oak from June '14.

Idk, I heard it was 50 degrees this morning up by you and it's the middle of august....

Yes 50 yesterday 51 right now. Made me feel like cutting a few trees down so walked out the back door and took down three dead standing red oaks.

Cut to 20" rounds it's about 1 1/2 cords stacked on my spare over flow pallet. Took about two hours of fun filled work. This will be picked up tonight by a friend so he can split and stack for his house.

This year is mostly hickory with some ash, birch, beech, walnut, hedge, hackberry, and cherry. Oh yeah, after waiting three years I've got some oak too!

Doug fir, madrona and locust. We use the heat pump for temps above 45F. It's a small blip in the electric bill. Maybe $10-15 in October? This is hard to quantify because we are using more lighting, starting to dry clothes indoors and the water going into the hot water heater is cooler too.

Next years supply is cherry, madrona and locust so far. I'll probably end up buying the doug fir like I did this year.

Bring on Old Man Winter! I am ready! 4 Holz-Hausen's for 14-15 (probably still only use 3), and enough split to refill three of them for 15-16. Mixture of mostly hardwoods (chestnut oak, maple, elm), with some soft as well (aspen and cottonwood... Which I hate but it burns).

I've 4.5 cords, roughly 50/50 Douglas Fir/Plum. I used around 3 cords last winter, so I'm hoping to have extra this winter. I split all of this wood last March. Douglas fir should definitely be dry enough. Not sure on the plum, but I intentionally split it quite small to speed up drying time. Douglas fir was left large to hopefully increase burn time.

I'm installing an Englander 13-NCI in the basement soon. Last year I only had the upstairs PE Super going, which is fantastic, but the cold basement below made the floor cold. I'm hoping this year we'll have warm floors.

 

[Osagebndr]

We will ( my neighbor and I , he doesn't burn so I get to take it) will be dropping some ash , red oak, Hard and soft maple, popple and poplar over the next 6 wks on my neighbors place. I'm guessing at 20 or so cord altogether when it's css

 

[toddnic]

Red oak, maple and cherry....about 5 cords.

 

[Ram 1500 with an axe...]

For the following year I am saving some black locust, then I have a batch of honey locust, a mother load of red oak and some sassafrass....I'm pretty stoked about the wood selection.....

 

[Longstreet]

This year is mostly hickory with some ash, birch, beech, walnut, hedge, hackberry, and cherry. Oh yeah, after waiting three years I've got some oak too!

From now on we will ask you what you are not burning. Will be a shorter list that way.

 

[Ram 1500 with an axe...]

Yeah, 8 different species, now that's a mix....

 

[Hoozie]

In a few more days, I should be up to three years worth. Just found a guy 15 minutes from here with split Juniper/Pine for $75/cord, and split Elm for $50/cord. *sigh* ok, I'll come buy some Three or four cords from him, and I'll be at around 15 CSS. About 6 cords of that is Poplar though Rest is pine/juniper, and a little bit of some assorted hardwood. 4 cords of pine has been stacked in single rows since April, so I hope it'll be ready in another month. Otherwise the next two years are looking great.

Maybe a face cord for this winter. No idea what kind of wood it is. My meager scroungings from the last year don't mount up to a full cord, and it's mostly all this bizarre looking twisted limb stuff that doesn't stack well. I'll take a pic tomorrow to put up, it's kind of funny how irregular it all is. I'm not in trouble for keeping my house warm, I'll just use electric heat mostly this year. Next year will be better, and the year after I hope to go all-wood.

The other thing is so much of the wood that I piled up is still very wet. I don't think the woodshed is in a good location. It doesn't get any afternoon sun. There's another spot I could use, it gets a lot more sun. It would change my garden though. Guess I'll have to choose blackberries or wood heat.

 

[blacktail]

The biggest components of my supply this season are doug fir and alder. The rest is a mix of big leaf maple, hemlock, and birch.

 

[JTRock]

1st year with a stove so no reserve. Have 3 cord of seasoned mix hardwood being delivered 8/31 and probably pick up 2 ton of Envi Bricks. Just in case

 

[NYLife]

This is my little shed 20x10 I have some locust maple and oak . Just waiting on a few rebars and I'll be done

If I was in your situation, I would buy some wood to bump you ups a little. It's worth getting some what ahead as opposed to always being behind...but let's see what it looks like, we will be waiting for that pic.....

4.5 cords - Red/Chestnut Oak, Black Locust, Osage Orange and Mulberry. Oak will be 3 years the rest 2 years. All high BTU woods and after this winter I have nothing but red and white oak in my stacks for '15-'16 and '16-'17.

 

[midfielder]

4 cords - 1.5 of which is 4 years old, the rest cut last November and now at 20% at the center of a fresh split. All stacked in the barn. Mixed sugar maple, yellow birch, ash, and white oak, and a little hop hornbeam. Hoping that will do most of our heat in the new Woodstock Keystone.

I've been the king of miscellaneous scrounges. Except for what I'm splitting this year, there have been no big scores just a tree here or there.

Ram,

The last time I did the math, it only made sense for me to burn wood for heat if I got it for free. Otherwise, I would be paying for the privilege. I was weak on scrounging the last two years. There's still enough time this year for me to scrounge a couple cords that might be good next year, or maybe the year after. I have a source, but haven't hit him up for the wood.

Here's the pics. I'm in the process of re-stacking it... it was actually worse than this earlier. Looking forward to piling up the wood and getting it dry.

 

[DuckDog]

I've got about 3 cord ready for this season. Mostly sugar maple with some beech, ironwood and a splash of ash or elm. CSS since last spring.
