How big is your wood? Pics

[Paragon Builder]

So how big can you fit in your stove? My stove loves big pieces. Door is 28"w x16"h. Check out the pieces I put in the other day!

Most of my wood is this size.

The room stays about 110 degrees and with my fans blowing on it drys out pretty quick. It's great I don't have to split too much.

how do you keep 110 degrees in room

I have a 1000 gallon water tank to the left of the boiler that I keep around 180 degrees and the uninsulated stove vent up to the roof transition makes that much heat. The room is in my garage and well insulated. Water piped underground to my house.

Nice job! Nothing like the satisfaction of building yourself what others sell. And often better than theirs!!! [emoji106]

With a little Ash mixed in? I burn a lot silver maple. Burns hot and fast but I couldn't turn down. I should keep some nice rounds for overnighters. I forget when splitting though. Nice Stove!

I have to thin my grove this year of the Silver Maple. Previous owner planter too close together and they need some room. Not going to be fun, but got a skid steer, a ladder and a pole saw. Could get interesting......

i'm actually impressed with the silvermaple I've been burning. it burns plenty hot and leaves a decent bed of coals. i was surprised. I expected it to burn like cottonwood. also the smoke smells way better than cottonwood.

and dont put the ladder in the skid loader bucket to get more height. but if you do, please film it. lol.

if you want a junk wood to burn try hybrid poplar.

Yeah, my wife showed me a couple going around on "the Facebook". The worst one a guy had a ladder in bucket to tree, then an extension ladder in tree extended, going to top it, by the looks of it. Will try to find.

Burning some Silver Maple now, go some long logs that just fit in stove. Mixing in but it burns good.

Yup, some ash, oak, cherry, and a few hickory.
