Finally got a good pic of the Branson and a decent load of wood. Guy down the road is a tree service guy. Had a load of silver maple he wasn't going to use so he gave it to me. Maple is my favorite wood to burn in the stove. We live in a small 1000 sqft house and the climate is such here in SE Tennessee where we don't need the high BTU woods. If I burn oak and hickory all day our house turns into a sweat lodge. Maple coals up nice, seasons quickly and puts out sufficient heat.

Interesting, our Maple out here does not store well, even to the second year.

Hmmm, I have never had a problem with it.

I am sure you have better varieties of maple. Or less powder beetles

Found a couple of weird things today. A couple of you guys might like this mouse nest made from a recycled snake skin that was in the wood shed. Nothing strange about a mouse nest or a snake skin in the shed - find lots of them. But never a nest made from a skin.

Then I came across this funny balsam fir while I was working.

Snake skin nest only seen one over the years.

"funny balsam fir"....I heard stories from older folks saying there grand parents call them healing trees,if child was sick pastor would pass child through hole of the tree to another while saying prayer,the tree had to be young and healthy....I came across such tree but not as good find as yours.

I wonder how many mice made up the snake skin parts.

Depends on how you count. 1- cut and split. 2- move/transport to firebox. 3- burn

I was always told 4:
1 cuttin' it
2 splittin' it
3 stackin' it
4 burnin' it
