What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[thewoodlands]

It's 48 and dropping and with the temps tomorrow only hitting 38 or 39 I started a fire tonight, we have some cherry and maple going.

I think we had a high of 64 or 65 today so the house was still 72 tonight from the fire we had last night.

Same here had good temps last few days lows weren’t even terrible (30s) but temp tonight is dropping like a brick, in low 20s and still goin will be around 10 for the low. Couple little rounds of juniper and mahogany in with the pine tonight

 

[Purodude]

I’m burning birch at the moment. But have Garry oak, American chestnut, European horse chestnut, cherry, western red cedar, Douglas fir, deador cedar, cypress, black locust, so pretty much anything that’s free. Lol

 

[Deets]

Red elm and some white oak

 

[HisTreeNut]

Burning the end of last year's wood along with scrappies & uglies..

 

[Grizzerbear]

Its 43 now with rain and supposed to stay there for the night. I have two sticks of pine and two red oak rounds going in for the overnight. It's been unseasonably warm here for the last two weeks....60s and 70s for the most part. I will be glad when it cools down for good.

Load of ash. Low of 34 tonight.

 

[heavy hammer]

Still burning ash with walnut. A little maple here and there. I have been working a lot these past couple of weeks 16 hour days with the wind and some of our lines burning down from a storm a few weeks ago so the wife has been doing a good job keeping the house warm for when I get home. A couple of the cold days were tough nothing better than a warm stove to come home to. I fell asleep in front of the Kuma in the basement for a few hours the one night on the tile floor with the labs I was so cold and worn out.

Cooled down today and this evening 40 degrees right now I'm betting down to low to mid 30's by morning. I let the house get cold this afternoon in hope of some solar gains, no dice. House got to 60 degrees and it was time to light up. Started off with some red oak limbs moved on to some white oak heart wood. House is up to 75 degrees now. I still have to learn this stove. I would like to keep it about 70 but not have to start off with a cold box when reloading. My house is really small 1300sqft (if that) and this Mansfield is a lot of stove. I have still not yet fully loaded the stove, most I have loaded is probably about 1/4 full.

We went from 32 to 40 degrees tonight so the overnight load is all cherry splits.

 

[MMH]

Had another little cold front move through today with cold air behind it for the next few days, highs 30s lows in the teens or lower. Got off work this morning and house was 60, got stove goin and threw a decent pine round in stove cruised on that all day. Now we’re a good 72 in the house; I’ll stuff her full of pine for the night fire.

 

[Diabel]

VC is stuffed with 3 yr old hard maple. Will reload in the morning with softwood.

 

[thewoodlands]

It's 31.5 tonight with a load of cherry going in the Lopi Liberty for the overnight fire.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Low 40s tonight for the low. I got a half load of post and red oak goin just now. Sadly I'm out of pine lol.

 

[heavy hammer]

Another cold rainy night, some ash and a little walnut with maple.

 

[Jay106n]

Another cold rainy night, some ash and a little walnut with maple.

How does the Walnut burn? I’ve never burned any, but my neighbors yard is full of them, so I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before one comes down and I’ll be able to snag some.

 

[MMH]

Low headed for low teens; more pine for Dorothy to eat through

 

[Gearhead660]

Rainy night. Perfect weather to sit by stove. Full of Ash for tonight.

 

[Qvist]

37 tonight Burning Silver Maple

 

[Mark N MO]

The morning reload; 2 red oak , 2 white oak, and 3 hickory splits. All lovingly aged 3 years, and combine to make a satisfying glow in the belly of our 91 Buck. I expect this load to last till this evening. Life is good.

 

[heavy hammer]

Jay106n the walnut burns great. I just notice a lot of ash. The wood seems to leave a large amount of fluffy white ash once burned but other than that I like it.

 

[thewoodlands]

It's 34.2 tonight with some cherry on the bottom row with two splits of maple in the middle up top with two smaller splits of cherry up top on each side.

 

[MMH]

Currently 21 out with the feels like 13 low of around 15 tonight; burning down coals from the load at noon. Trusty ol pine still goin strong, tonight I’ll throw some decent sized juniper and mahogany rounds in with the pine. Happy Thanksgiving all.

 

[NickW]

Been burning 1/2 loads of silver maple as needed during the day, mix of ash and silver maple overnights. Highs have been close to 50, lows in the 20's or 30's. Been burning off & on since Oct 2nd. Have only gone through about 1/2 cord of mostly softwood.

 

[heavy hammer]

I cleaned out both stoves and filled the garage back up today as filling the kindling barrel up. we have 50 and rain so I have a few ash splits in the basement stove. I probably won't fire up the upstairs one till tonight. Me and the dogs spent some time in the woos this afternoon doing some retrieves so now a warm stove feels good. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone
