Tonight will be the last fire we burn for the season. The next couple weeks show highs in the 60s and 70s. Today though sunday will only be in the 50s so it give me a chance to burn some ugglies and use up the last of what I brought up to the house about a month ago.
In total for this year I burned only about 2/3rds what I burned last winter. Most of my wood was pecan, elm, and white oak. The pecan and elm were great for the shoulder season we had most of the winter and the oak I burned was really a waste most of the time but I kept it burning pretty slow. I'd say I burned a good 2 cords and never had the heater kick on except for a couple cold mornings. When it kicked on I promptly got out of bed to turn it off and add some wood to the fire. I'm a cord ahead of where I thought I needed to be this time last year.
How much did you get by with this year?
