6/4/2012, Harman XXV Burning

[Defiant]

I can not believe this is happening
Wife is happy, she likes it warm photo was from last year back deck, but it is raw here.

Gotta say, I am tempted to burn tonight. Had I been home today and not a work (no, the heat is NOT on here brrrr), I would have. Considering I wont be home until 8PM, I can most likely not burn.
Damn, a week ago Saturday, we were on the M/C in the warm 88 degree sunshine and doing yard work in my shorts a week ago Sunday and Monday ! ! ! !

Is that the north pole?

Pretty stove and a nice setup.

 

[DexterDay]

Mine was on June 1st (at night) and on when I left for Work (June 2nd)....

I literally just turned the t-stat down 2 degrees to stop it, because it just turned on minutes ago. It was almost 40° on June 1. Its only 55° outside now. So we should be fine. If it fired up now, I would be sweatin in a few hrs...

Supposed to drop some more tonight. So if it kicks on later? I reckon I will let it go. Today was my B-day and wanted to have a Fire in my new Pit.... Never happened. Maybe tomorrow.

Pits finished. But it was to dark to get a good finished pic with rock surrounding it. Maybe tomorrow

Thanks Hoot, Eaton, Smoke, and Defiant....

Yeah, its a cooking pit. As Smoke show said, I got the idea from member Scotty Overkill.

I lined the sides with Firebrick, that I got for nothing. The bricks on the bottom were free and so are the large rocks I have put around it. There has been an empty house next door. Someone moved in 2 weeks ago and told me yestersay, that I could have every rock, brick, and firebrick in/ and around there old barn.

I will get a daylight photo as soon as I get a bag of sand and fill in the cracks of the bottom bricks..

The pit is 5' in diameter, with the cooking pit being 18" x 18". Here is a shot with no brick

Oh and to stay on topic. The stove was on at 4:00 a.m. when I got up to relieve myself. Set it to 66° with a 2° swing.

Could your new neighbor be Don? He has only been averaging 23 hours a day on this site lately.

I know I dont see a lot of the new neighbors? ? Lots of work to do over there. Its an old Farmhouse, built in 1905. Power was off for 2 yrs. The water was waist deep in the basement! !!

Anyways.. Its done. Laid sand in to fill the cracks amd lock it all together.

Pretty chilly now. Only 57° outside. Back in the 40's tonight!! WTH?!?! I cleaned the stove last year, a week or two before Memorial Day. Never burned this late in the year......

Toss a hog on that sunbitsh.

When are you going to get it dirty? Looks great.

Gotta go back to work tomorrow. Just had a long weekend. Probably have some friends over this weekend. Looking for a nice grilling surface or grate to put over the cooking area. The search is on this week.

My Son has baseball games everyday this week. He plays on the Minors (10-12 yrs old), but when his coach from last year is short some boys, he plays up in the Majors (12-14). So Today, Thurs, and Sat he plays for his team, and Wed and Fri he is playing with the Big Boys. Him and 1 other kid are the 2 that get to play up. Both have natural talent to play the game.

Pics will follow of pit. But I will either add to Scotty Overkills thread or start a new one. I have jacked this thread. I apologize Defiant.

 

[Defiant]

Quite allright on the thread jacking (I do enough of that myself as you know) here is a photo of my pit.

That's really nice...Must have worked on that for weeks!

Mad Dog, Awesome job on the pit!

 

[Boobo0]

Sad to say that I had my Harman on from yesterday afternoon until this a.m. I'm glad I haven't done my final cleaning yet. I also pray that's the last time it will be on

 

[gbreda]

Okay, I caved last night and lit the stove for the evening. Guess I have to change my vote................but don't see that I can

 

[The Ds]

Is that the north pole?

Nope,it's Conneticut
