What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[MoDoug]

We had a high of 54 today, so still burning oak and the occasional elm. We sleep in the loft and it gets toasty up there, so my wife took the flannel sheets off.

Beech and white birch . . . with this recent spate of nice weather I'm down to two fires a day -- one in the morning and one in the evening.

Currently 20 out and snowing, house is 72, I’ll throw some pine in for today

Both stoves have been cold this week temps have been in the 60's and 70's even the furnace hasn't been running. It looks like it will cool down next week so burning should start back up a little to early to call it for the year.

 

[Gearhead660]

Been rainy all week. Just running insert in afternoon and evenings. Got some oak and ash burning.

 

[MMH]

Low headed for around 18 ish it’ll be pine for tonight.

 

[MoDoug]

Low of mid 40's tonight, got oak going!

 

[MMH]

Flurries again this morning, but melted off and hit mid 40s by afternoon, stove went out after that. Tonight headed for around 20 more pine going in.

Cloudy rainy day here today. 41 outside and 63 inside...firing up the stove with a load of red maple! When there's no mid day sun to take over the heat pump would be running all day and that's no bueno. First fire in a week or so. Enjoy the ambient sounds of a wood stove heating up and young children!

We had 43 outside this morning with a forecast of rain this afternoon, the Liberty had some Cherry and Pine going in it while we had coffee this morning.

pretty soon it'll be red and white oak then maybe a little red maple

Wife is asking for a fire to help dry out some clothes but its 57 degrees outside now and won't drop below 50 until 4 am. Plus it's still 68 in here from the am fire. Laundry is going to have to wait...it's a heat pump night!

I don't like burning when it's this warm, just feels like a waste of hard earned good wood and the heat pump is very efficient. It's a little different in the fall when I have uglies to burn but this time of year it's only grade A primo wood left.

High of 38 today with lots of wind. Been burning small loads of silver maple. Overnights have still been getting chilly, so mixed loads of ash, beech & silver maple.

 

[firefighterjake]

Beech

 

[Gearhead660]

Sunny out but quite breezy. Burning some cottonwood.

 

[heavy hammer]

Had both stoves going this weekend ash and a big split of locust in the basement. I'm glad I filled the garage back up last weekend since I didn't have any time this weekend. I worked 16's from Friday on so home time was short.

 

[MMH]

Low headed for around 10 ish juniper and pine tonight

 

[Caw]

68 inside and 59 outside so the stove staying cold tonight. Looks like we'll be burning a bit Friday then just few overnight fires this week. The heat pump can carry us to the afternoon sun when its 40+ in the am.

This is true shoulder season in New England!

The stove has been lifeless for a couple days now, but with a low of 22 tonight, it's fired back up with oak and elm. We're under a red flag warning, with gusts up to 30.

 

[sweedish]

Low of 23, high of 28 Tomorrow, about 30 currently. More pine and quaky, looks like Saturday forward it’s one fire at night

 

[Lakeside]

Just some ashes right now. I am planning on firing the Fireview up tonight with low temps down to 20f and a cold Friday in the forecast too.

Nice looking pup, what breed? Looks a little boxer/mastiff-y!

As for me I have a big pile of bark in there right now just to get a little heat before an overnight light load of red maple.

 

[BigJ273]

Oak/cherry mix. One of the last burns of the season probably tonight or tomorrow. Just burning what I have left in the inside wood box
