In this summerly winter I've been holding out on my prime stock. Ten degrees and dropping, my best oak is now indoors.
Woodstoves make cold winter days fun. Almost.

Awwwww come on you know you really want to see what happens......besides you will enjoy the adrenaline rush and staying up half the night babysitting the stove lol. :lol:BrotherBart said:I have some "mystery" wood that is going in the 30 tonight. The only tree like it on the place. 80 footer. Cut it down because it was dead three years ago. The wood when I bucked it was almost drippy sopping wet and I told myself that it was going to be feather light crap like poplar when it dried but put it on the stacks anyway. Well, this year those splits are heavy as bricks and dry. I have burned a few and they burn like gasoline and burn forever.
In the teens for the first time tonight and I am tempted to load it full with them. But kinda scared to at the same time. :blank:

My first winter here me and the girlfriend sat bundled up in front of the old fire dragon I inherited with the house. I was heating the great outdoors.

It is natural gas with bark on it. When you have a tightly packed full load N/S and the front two tubes light off at 350, you know something special is about to happen in your wood stove. It is cruising at 650 and lovin life. I could heat this barn on a cord and a half or two cords a year of this stuff!
