What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Some soft maple going right now

High of 28 and 20+ MPH winds today. Had the day off work so kept the stove fed with some nice 4 year aged red oak. It's a beautiful thing.

We have a temp of 10 degrees already and the wood stove is burning down some coals which will be ready for a load of sugar maple for the overnight load.

In the opposite corner we'll have the pellet stove set at 76, both stoves are in the basement.

We just hit a temp of 7 degrees tonight at 10, the liberty is burning along with a load of sugar maple in it.

Ash - seasoned 2 years
Ash - Seasoned 1 year
Ash - split/stacked last month
Ash - stacked in rounds yet to be split
Ash - in neighbors yard waiting for me to have the time and pick it up for processing
Ash - standing dead on back of property line waiting for AEP to come through and take it down for me

So.....

How does the ash burn?

Load of red maple and some birch dialed in before I head into work, brisk here this morning ~5F

We had 5.5 for a low overnight so this morning we had a sugar maple fire. Today when I was clearing trail, the wife ran the pellet stove.

At the moment we have some pine and cherry going in the Lopi Liberty.

Sitting in the dark with no power. A tree fell on a line with all the wind and rain. Made some chicken and pastry on the stove. You must really have to have that stove rolling to boil water. It’s not terribly cold so one split at a time of oak is keeping me at 400 degrees.

Im hoping we avoid an outage. Lotsa ice tonight. Ash and cherry, topped with some red oak. Oak is a little over two years css. But i board split a lot of it and its burning fantastic. Didnt expect that so im very happy as i may need it this year.

Worked 30 hours over the last 39 hours leaving me with stone cold stove during the first real snow fall of the year, looks to be about 10 inches. The furnace has been running heating the baseboard heat. But good news is I just got a load of black cherry, maple, and ash lit up in the stove.

yeah thats from the other stove we had, magnolia 2015, it needed a lot more R value in the hearth than the madison does, turned out alright for a first time amateur doing the work

Looks good. I just figured it was a preemptive build in anticipation of a stove. Extra ember protection is a plus though.

We had a low of 25 this morning so we had a fire with some cherry splits, nothing burning in the stove this afternoon.

Silver maple, some ash and a few chunks of sassafras popping like a cap gun.

 

[thewoodlands]

Last night I ran the pellet stove which had the basement at 82 this morning and the main floor at 72. Today we've been burning cherry which we'll use for an overnight fire tonight.

 

[weatherguy]

Since I have 4 cords of ash, itll be ash all day every day. I'll mix NIEL's on colder days.

 

[Stinkpickle]

Ash and mulberry is roaring now.

 

[jatoxico]

All hardwood all the time. Oak, locust and hickory. If I had some softwood I'd use it but not a stick to be found.

 

[woodey]

Burning a mix of ash and cherry now and saving the maple and beech for the colder temps.

 

[Anduril]

I'm currently burning a mix of Russian Olive, Box Elder, Tree of Heaven, and Pine. My property is overrun with the Russian Olive as well as Tree of Heaven.

 

[thewoodlands]

We have more cherry in the Lopi Liberty and since it won't be real cold tonight, we'll go with more cherry.

 

[StihlKicking]

Chestnut oak, temps in the high 30’s here tonight.

 

[Dobish]

One pine, two aspen and 1 elm

 

[Wood1Dennis]

Elm and white ash. The Caddy is burning really nice!
