:thumbsup: Is that from the trees which you used to build your bridge? I haven't burned oak since moving out of my parent's house back in 1980... I have to settle for rock maple and beech.

Yep all from bridge logs, I'm putting all the oak in separate pile just in case theres more wood then I need, if so that'll give more time for it to dry out. 3-4 year old oak makes good firewood but so doesn't beech but beech dont stay solid outside more then a year for me.

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.

Well the SI unit for each are both the Joule. So you are not wrong.

My Oma used to say: he who heats with wood is twice heated (or maybe thrice, but not sure which is the 3rd/thrice time).

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.

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