JHD, don't lose sight of the fact that you can't put a woodstove on the same chimney your central heating oil or gas burner uses.

Nope. Got a fireplace that I'm going to remove and replace it. Any help with the wood I.D.?

Can't help with the wood, I'm afraid. I'm really only familiar with the species we have here. Could be some kind of maple, but the grain looks a little punky. Put those pix up in the Woodshed forum here and you'll get better advice.

Note that red oak should have a couple years to season after it's split and stacked.
