Woodstove Recommendations

[skeet]

As Adam said..it took me about 2 weeks of cutting splitting stacking etc for my wood for the winter. I did use a bit more than 4 cords though. Double that, approximately. Ii cut the trees in the winter and cut them to length and split in the early to late spring. I used mostly Beech and Oak. The beech was a cleaner wood. By cleaner I mean no bark mess etc when taking in the house. We stored the wood in a barn. I also used quite a bit of Wild Cherry and some Osage orange from a friends farm. He cleaned out a hedgerow..That OO is really hard to cut. Hard on chain saws. There was more than 40 cords in that hedge.. I burned it all.. Been burning wood since the later 60's. A lot of work. My helper..hereinafter known as de broom ridin Boss still helps me cut and split the wood we burn. She really likes wood heat

Fabs..no matter what kind you go with...get a good stove and have it installed prefessionally. I also am a very firm believer in MASONRY chimney's if you go with a real wood stove.. Now..gotta go light de stove in the broom riders bedroom
