It’s that time… probably started my last fire for the year.

Started a fire last night with temps at 46º and dropping. It was 42 this morning and the fire got a reload. I may let it limp on coals. Outside may get up to 52º today, but the nights will remain cold through Friday. Then it looks like things will start warming up.
 
Lots of burn season left up in the hills here. At least another month, maybe two. Sure, there will be some warm days sprinkled in there between the rainy cold days but there is no shame in burning wood for heat whenever it's needed.

So how did you woodstacks hold out? I've been burning aggressively in both the house and the shop. Not holding back. I'm still about a cord under what was allotted for this burn season so I went through 4.5 cords so far.
All that was left of the 3 cords in the woodshed and I’m done burning for the year. I’d say I had the perfect amount. Finished refilling that side of the shed with 2 year seasoned wood which will sit for a year and half at least while the other side gets used for next season.
