After 2 1/2 weeks of nice and sunny 70's to upper 80's and no rain here in Western Oregon, today's high was mid 50's and 12 degrees colder than normal and raining. I've had to burn the wood stove the past couple of nights again. I came home from work yesterday and today, and the house was about 62 and chilly, so after dinner I cranked up the stove. It's 72 in here now. A couple more days of this, and we are back to sunshine. Last year, I had the stove going a couple times even in June.
I broke into my small stash of 3 year seasoned apple wood. That stuff is very light weight now and burns HOT. One small piece of apple and two small pieces of fir, and the stove was rippin'! I've been using the apple for cooking on the BBQ. Since I cut more apple wood a couple weeks ago, I have more cooking supply now, and wanted to try the apple in the stove. The results are in.......fantastic wood!
Anyone else still burning wood?
