OK, lemme guess.."Time To Initiate Warp Wood Protocol"
I've got a ton of dead Sassafras all over the place but I figured that the way I hear it popping in the stove, it might stir up more ash dust and make me clean the screen and cat more often, so I don't burn it. I never experimented to see if that was actually true, though. I've been using straight Sass logs as pallet supports since they are so rot-resistant.
I just threw in a Cheery and two Red Oak splits. Going to 50 today, don't need much heat.

I thought you burned anything you want any time you want with no worries.

With temps 32 or above it's white pine. Went 10 hours overnight with it last night. It was 36 most of the night, and we woke up to 69 in the house. Love the white pine! One man's trash is another man's treasure!

We're around 23 degrees tonight with another load of cherry in the Liberty for the overnight fire.

Here’s my outlook for next week, looks like pretty typical winter temps for me; it’s starting today the winds are picking up and the rain/snow is supposed to be starting; had a morning fire today as usual but when I got home I stuffed some more in for the storm brewing with temps in the low 40s and the “feels like” in the low 30s. All pine still, trying to save the mahogany for December/January but might end up breaking into it next week

We have been burning pine scraps, but really only at night and the wifey lets it go out in the morning. The house has been staying warm and comfy all day. As the kiddos go to bed, we repeatthe process.

Very punky Thornless Locust. This locust has very low density not like its much admired cousins. Got to 49 today so not much heat needed.

All Red Elm in the on-deck circle. BTU between Cherry and White Ash.

Mulberry and wild Grape Vine. Yes, wild Grape Vine. Around here wild Grape can get around 6". Initially huge amount of water unless it's dead already but once dry (and it does dry fast) burns relatively well.

We don't have nearly anything big enough to even consider here. I remember I was turing Georgia though, and stopped at a place for lunch. Took nearly an hour to realize the tree we were sitting under was an evergreen. Nice big tree, 2ft dia, 80ft tall. I noticed additional trunks growing up the sides, vines large enough to engulf the entire thing, completly. A deciduous tree with an evergreen core.
