Smoking Things Up

Last spring, we trimmed trees around the property (mostly tree-of-heaven), and I made a small pile of what I considered burnable-sized pieces that I put in the woodbox, but they were exposed to sun most of the summer. Today I burned it all. It did provide most of today's daytime heat, but I reckon I burned it sooner than I should have done.

( Not a Clear Stack )

I guess I should have left this stuff out to season for another year before burning it if I wanted it to burn more cleanly.

Oh, and yes, we do need to trim back those branches near the chimney. Job for this weekend, I reckon.
