So it’s cold today and windy. Wife wants me to stay home. I can’t stand the dang heater kicking on because I’m a cheap skate. I’m out of firewood currently, you know what they say about the painter who’s own house looks horrible..... anyways I have lots of mulberry trees in my yard. I cleaned the ash out and there was still some coals down deep after a day, I was thinking There is always dead limbs so I grab my saw and cut a dead limb off a tree. I stacked it full of the little sticks and left the dampener cracked, vents open and went to pick the kids up at grandmas hoping it would light up while I was gone. When I returned the house was hot and fire blazing. I always dismissed this junky mulberry as junk wood, but I realky kinda like it. It’s even cleaned up my nasty glass some. I think I’ll go cut the rest of my dead limbs up they may make a cord worth. I’ll definitely start bringing this home doing tree jobs instead of putting it in the burn pile . What’s in there now has been lit for about 3 hours and was all small sticks with the dampener 1/8 open and air all the way for 1.5 hours of that .
