My son and I built a little rocket stove so if the poop hits the fan we will be able to cook our chicken eggs;)

Hi from Brian in unseasonably cold for this early in the year Connecticut, I like to keep my house warm by burning wood too, right now I'm burning mostly red oak, some black birch,some hickory, and a little maple. I try to burn the lower btu woods like the birch when it's a little warmer and the good stuff(oak and hickory) when it's really cold. We too have a stove with re-burn technology, oil's expensive and wood is a lot of work so I try to get as much out of it as I can

dirt under your fingernail's is a sure sign of clean living

I know this may be funny but I'm just starting to realize that some woods burn for a super long time compared to others! It seems like a way better benefit to get woods that are going to burn longer and pay a little more because the burn time.

Do you know what Woods burn the longest?

Aside from pollinating and honey, what other things do you find bees to be beneficial for the home gardener/farmer? Do you do anything else with the pollen, their wax, etc. etc.?
