KE 40 stuffed to the gills with alder / maple mix. 28 tonight, currently 75 in the house
I ripped out a few small ponderosa pines 3 years ago when I put in the septic system. They were decked next to the driveway, and I was concerned about the fire hazard. Today I cut them up, no splitting required. I pitched a few pieces in tonight. I figure it is better to burn them in the stove than to leave them in the slash pile that will be burned when there is snow on the ground. It will be cold tonight, so I will load the stove with tamarack before bed.
Had an arctic air front come through, temps were negative to single digits with highs today 20-30s back to teens tonight; had some small odds & ends of mahogany and juniper from last year so threw those in for today. Had some nice secondaries going for a while.

I had our first fire in the basement stove Sunday morning and I lit the insert upstairs upstairs tonight as well it has been a cold rainy day. temps are in the 40's but the rain has made it feel miserable. The temps for the coming weeks don't look very warm so it looks like burning season is here. Ash and walnut in the stoves now.

Its 33 here now. Going to hang around that temp for the next 48 hours. I just put 4 rounds of post and red oak in for the overnight. I got a lot of smaller limb wood I've been trying to burn up.
Heading into the mid teens tonight so I put in some Osage splits and a couple Slippery Elm splits.
Looks like I'll be burning the next 4 nights with the forcast. I'll probably load up on mostly spruce with some mixed in oak or ash to get a longer burn. Gotta keep the wife and little ones warm for the mornings.
It's 32.5 tonight with a load of Cherry going in the Liberty for the overnight fire.
Had some pine for today; got home and house was 75, lows tonight in the 20s so I’ll let the stove go out for tonight
Not sure, wife loaded the stove before I got home.
It's about 36 tonight with a load of cherry going in the heater.

Been running the Tundra for last week or so. Oak, Ash and Elm.
NOAA is calling for a low of 15 in the morning, even though I cleaned the majority of the pellet stove at the end of last year, I went through it a week or two ago and it was already to go. Tonight I put one bag of pellets in for the overnight heat.
Currently ash and quaking aspen, and a few small pieces of pine and cherry

More ash and walnut we has lows in the 30's last night with the next few nights chilly. We are supposed to see 60's by the end of the week.
When we built our house the builder shoved all the trees and brush into a pile on the edge of our property. The pile is mostly hemlock and pine, so all of my neighbors have assured me it's "garbage" and that there is "no burnable wood" in it.
So I decided to salvage what I could anyway, bucking and splitting it over the last year or two. Now the hemlock is seasoned and I've been burning it exclusively over the last few weeks. It's in my stove now on this 30 degree day.
Either I'm an idiot and my house is going to blow up any second now, or this "garbage wood" isn't so bad after all.

All the batteries are changed in the smoke and our propane gas detectors this morning.

After my first two (ever) loads (maple) in the BK Chinook 30 Thursday and Friday, yesterday the wife had some people over, so I put some oak, cherry and sassafras uglies in for an evening with a flame show.
Back to the minisplit as it's near 50 maxing out at near 60 here today.

We had a pretty nice day yesterday 50's but then chilly overnight. Rain and temps falling now so both stoves are going to keep the house warm. They are talking about snow tonight but nothing will stick the ground is to warm. They are calling for temps in the low 30's. Me and the dogs will bring in more wood today and fill the kindling barrel up.

We are burning mostly silver maple right now. We got a ton of it from a tree service last year. We are trying to save the harder wood (oak, elm, ash, etc...) for the colder season.
