What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Tom123]

I’m burning chunks of ash from a stubby round I️ found in July of 2016.

Hickory x 2 stoves. Great wood, or at least the bugs seem to think so.

Ain't that the truth! All the Hickory I have has borer holes like crazy.

Temp dropped like a rock over a 12 hr period and had to rush to blowout my water lines.

Smorgasbord of oak, cherry, hickory, soft maple and a bit of locust all sitting on a pile of last years ashes. Yeah I slacked off there.

Red Oak and Hickory from an older stack. I found the stack of ash and maple that I was expecting to burn this winter was still sizzling.

Silver maple and box elder, from my "I need to get rid of this" stack. Burning fine @ 650 degrees, but I know it will be short lived.

i'm pretty sure we have literally the exact same wood piles....

Ashes. Hoping there's a few sparks in there for a re-light tonight.

Is that better or worse than finding out you're married to the same woman?

Finally got the first burn tonight. Been cold enough just hadnt had a chance to clean the pipe and reset stove. Ash and cherry are fine for now.

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your install, you did a serious undertaking and it came out great, be very proud of your work, I bet the boys really appreciate having a dad that can conquer anything.

Thanks man, I appreciate the compliment!

Red oak, ash, and maple combo tonight. The house is pretty toasty.

Pine from the ginormous tree that fell in our yard. Burning nice and getting that early morning chill out oh the house.

Ashes and some old MacDonald's garbage...NO PLASTIC though!

 

[Jay106n]

Used some of my splitting left overs, basically kindle of black cherry and ash, to get a nice booster fire going in the open fire place tonight for "ambiance". The stove is full steam in the basement as usual with red oak.

 

[FaithfulWoodsman]

Cherry, one big ash split and one big red oak split. Looking forward to burning 24/7. We get to 60 tuesday. Ohio never knows what it wants to be in fall/spring.

 

[Tar12]

A packed load of locust and cruising right along...

 

[Rangerbait]

Tulip Poplar at the moment...upper-50s today, and now mid-40s...supposed to barely get down to freezing tonight. I'm loving the Poplar for this kind of weather!

Just ash right now. Not the wood, just the burnt wood. Been 60º some this week, about 10-15º warmer than usual

30 - 40 out lately still running 24-7, Douglas Fir and Tamarack.

Most... boring... thread... ever. It’s still amazing this one is going, at over 1000 posts!

Yes, I’m guilty, too.

its only boring because you only have oak

As of this morning before I left for work, Red Maple and Ash. I can't wait for that red maple to be gone. Seems to coal up terribly, about as bad as box elder.

Mostly. But, I split a sassafras last weekend! Neat wood, in that it looks as clean as the day it was split, after three years in the stacks. Smells great, too... but it’s a lightweight in heat, I suspect.

I love sassafras. Dries fast and I have been happy with the heat.

Just loaded both BK's to the bursting point with heavy red oak. It's going to be warm tonight, at least inside.

Sassafras is fun, but when mixed into a pile of oak, I almost accidentally throw the splits when I pick them up. Something like 32 lb/ft3 vs. 44 lb/ft3, for the rest of my wood.

We just love to brag about what we are burning after hours and hours of bucking, hauling, splitting, stacking, waiting years, restacking, to loading our loot right into the mouths of a fiery beast.

Temps were in the 20's this morning. I woke up and checked the firebox of my All Nighter Moe, which I found still had some coals from last nights overnight burn. I tossed in a few pieces of pine to get it started up again, shortly followed by a link or two of cherry which coal up real nice, and topped off with some ash splits to last a few hours.

I vary my wood types by time of day, outside/inside temps, and length of burn. What is in your stove right now?

I had a Mid Moe for quite a few years many years back. Replaced it with a Jotul #3 about 21 years ago, and burning it ever since. Mostly well dried black locust with some oak mixed in. Pretty much burning around the clock at this time. The All Nighter was a good stove for it's time. With the blower it really pumped the heat out. Wished I kept it after I removed it. I would have liked to experimented with installing a baffle.
