We had 23.5 this morning with more of the maples going in the wood stove.
Just burnin down some coals, while waiting thought I’d try the first cooking try, couldn’t remove my top as the stoves been going all day but threw some kindling in and tried it. Wasn’t too bad needed to get it a little hotter though. Tonight and tomorrow night are hitting around 10 again so more mahogany for the next couple nights. Cheers

Smoke or steam?A very frustrating load of cherry and oak and cottonwood. My chimney is pouring smoke even with the cat at1400+ degrees.
Oak, oak, and oak. Seems like a waste with temps around 30, but makes for nice, long burn times.
It’s smoke. Something is in there that is probably to wet and just smoldering. It took a couple cycles of the damper just to keep a flame in the stove and the cat from going nuke. I’m into a questionable section of wood at the moment.Smoke or steam?
I had a few similar burns this week. temps around 40-50 but needed to take the chill off inside . I threw in some pallet wood with cherry and oak last night and still had a hard time getting the temp up. colder weather coming in this afternoon though.It’s smoke.
