Looks like my stove will be empty until at least Thursday. Beautiful weather blew in and they are calling for highs in the low 70's until at least Wednesday.

Currently 21 out, house is 71. I put a couple pine uglies in,
We had a low of 35.3 this morning, more pine heating the house.

Coals right now. Will let it die out tonight. I loaded this morning with 6 splits of red oak and left at 7:30am and got back at 6pm to a bunch of hot coals and the stove top fan still going. It was a balmy 58° out today, house at 70°. I am happy with the 10+ hours and still have the ability to not have to do a cold start.

Ash filled cold stove tonight. There probably won’t be another fire here till at least Thursday night. Warmer weather has settled back in bringing some highs up to 70F.
I’m still grilling outside in a t-shirt, so I haven’t fired it up yet.
NOAA is calling for a low of 43, we're at 41.4 with another load of pine going.
Low headed for around 30 tonight, another pine fire in.
We had a low of 44.4 this morning with more pine going in the wood stove.

It’s only been -15C around here in the mornings lately. And, like always, there are only pine trees. Lit the main stove in mid-September and it will burn steady until mid-March. On pine.
Sigh.
Sigh.

Pining for something else than pine ...

This is the longest we've burned pine in November but since we usually go from winter to summer and skip spring, we'll burn the hardwood in what was spring.

Stove had a day and a half break, It got to 65ish as a high yesterday, tonight a low of 32, so a short fire for now until bedtime reload. Mostly boxelder, but I may also throw in a split or 2 of cherry so there are coals for morning reload.
Warning sarcasm ahead...
You all burning pine all of the time is liable to cause the magnetic poles to flip or the earth to start turning the other direction!
At the very least it may cause the fuel in your neighbors lawnmower to go bad this winter!
Stove is mt at the moment it’s 65F outside.

Lol. 1/6 of what I have for this winter is pine. Because it lights easier on cold starts and too-late reloads of the d*mned oak that I drown in that is 3 years old but still about 20 pct... ;-)
That was facts and sarcasm mixed together. The grass is always cleaner on the other side.

Lows headed for upper 20s…..the poles are flipping…more pine
So far it has been 100% hemlock/basswood mix. I am running out of kindling. Maybe will put some hard maple in this eve and hopefully have some coals in the morning for easy restart.
We had 41.2 this morning, I started another pine fire around 11 a.m., we have some possible 40 mph winds coming in so I'll get burning after supper and let it go cold overnight.
Tried to get through to tomorrow but the lows are going into the low 30's tonight. Today was beautiful but the wind was blowing pretty good so solar gain was low. A few tiny oak splits just to keep the chill off. True shoulder season here this year. Weather man is calling for 50-60's highs and 30's lows for the rest of the month.

Boy it was windy today. Before yesterday the leaves were pretty well still on the trees for the most part. Today all but stripped the trees of the leaves. Makes deer hunting easier. Amazing the difference a day can make.
Its 40 out now with a low of 35 for tonight. I have some post oak for the heat tonight.
