i've been saving big pieces of maple. normally id use oak but ill take the huge maple pieces over small oak pieces in this weather. most of my wood is split small as i split it to go in the insert. ive abandoned the insert in favor of a woodstove in the cellar this year. so from now on i dont have to split the pieces so small :clap:

the wonderful midwest
hickory and ash

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.
