“When I stuff the stove with maple, tulip poplar, and cherry, I'm burning 30 year old sunlight. I can fully participate in the cycle by returning their ashes to the fields and nurturing the saplings that are emerging there. That's the type of seasonal living we need more of.”
As a fellow wood burner, I appreciate this beautifully written post. I call my man a "wood scientist" and love watching him move from the woods to the shed to the stove as he makes his decisions. Long live wood stove culture!

This is beautiful.
Thank you!
