I'm not sure what the temp was last night but I had another overnight fire with five splits of beech.

This morning the outside temp was 30.1, the basement temp was 72 with both temps up here 68. I didn't start another fire until 10:30 this morning with some birch and ash.
 
The outside temp tonight is 28, the basement temp started out at 73 with the temps up here 69 & 70. The overnight load has beech, maple and one smaller split of ironwood in the Liberty.
 
32 degrees and holding steady for now, then rising overnight. 3/4 load of mostly ash with 1 sugar maple in for the overnight.

It was 28 when I had my first cup of coffee this morning but after I was done with my second cup, the temp had dropped to 21. The basement temp started out at 72 with both temps up here at 68.

The first load this morning had cherry, maple and some ash in it. We should hit around 45 for a high today so the next fire will be after supper.
 
High 30s outside, so I lit the shop stove while I’m doing some outside projects.

I’m burning a piece of pine and 3 more of those punky oak pieces. Shops already at 65, so may be a short lived fire:

We had a low of 25.7 this morning, the basement temp was 72 with both temps up here 68. Nothing for a fire today but before the chitty weather comes in, I took some ashes out.
 
No fire today. Currently 75 and will be warm overnight. Rain through the weekend turning to snow Sunday night. Temperature will drop all day tomorrow into the 30's by evening, so the stove will be cold until then.
