I'm mixing a little bit of ash in with loads of hickory.
As long as the skies clear, my wood stove breathes great and I can really tweak with the amount of oxygen I give my wood, however if the skies get cloudy and overcast I usually have to open up the vents a lot more and burn more cautiously as it becomes easy to smolder my hickory logs (only seasoned for 6 months)
Edit: Not factoring windchill: it's 1.9 degree F.
gosh, how crude. More like 1.8995321 degrees F.
chad, you must not sleep much........
I throw the wood in, and it burns, makes me warm and fuzzy.
Ok, I was fuzzy when I was ten.
A hairy individual, very hairy. Had hair over 99.867389 % of my body.
Had hair even all over my palms........ But I rubbed that hair off...............

Fish when the skies are clear my stove burns way hotter and faster. I too just "throw wood in" but try to pick through my pile (which is 4 ft from stove) and mix it up so I don't burn all hickory at the same time. I'm not a real particular fellow like you make me seem....and about the not sleeping much: dunno what ya ment by that, that statement sailed over my head.
The 1.9 degrees came from my outside digital weather station; guess I should have rounded up eh Fish

Have the lopi running slow and steady Oak and Birch. The old Nashua's on the other side of the house, will be packed for the night with a few fat chunks of tasty oak!

No, I just like stirring up some turds, on a cold and breezy night.
Nothing personal, just business. Sweeps week is coming up, and I must do
some instigating.

It's still warm here by the lake. 6 degrees.
It's 74 here inside
Half seasoned Cherry mixed with Sassafrass and Red Oak to keep things HOT in the firebox. Am saving the Hedge for when it gets cold.
The only thing not comfy is the Humidity in here.
The Humidifier is going full blast and it's still only 22%.
Stay safe!

Fish, I missed that you are the resident "chainsaw instigator" <-- in that case,
it's all good. Someone's got to give the "new guy" a hard time. It might as well be you.

Lodgepole pine. Douglas Fir or White Birch when I leave the house.
Couple weeks ago, when it was -30, same thing. Now it's only just below freezing though.
