What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Its been the weirdest winter.. to warm for a fire. But sunday night into monday is going to be in the teens.

Geothermal has been doing the work this week. Looks like temps will be cold enough for some burning tonight and for the week ahead. I'm ready with a cord stacked on my porch of Ash, Red and White Oak, some Walnut and a bit of Honey Locust. I've got a bunch of Beech and Shagbark Hickory for next year to try out and see how they burn.

Pretty premium selection...

If you've never tried it, season some low BTU stuff for those in between days where the geothermal isn't quite enough but a "premium" hardwood fire has you opening windows. Aspen, box elder, cottonwood, soft maple, pine, etc. are great in shoulder season and are ready way faster than most hardwood.

35 out now with rain turning to snow/ ice in a few hours....not expecting much accumulation.....and some red oak and hickory in the buck. Temps will be falling through the day with a low of 10 this evening. Looks like we finally will be getting some consistent cooler temps with another good cold front and chance of snow Thursday.

It's been colder than usual out here on the west coast. The stove is full of eucalyptus and bay right now.

Yesterdays high was in the low 60's. Woke up this morning to 18 and some pretty good winds. A few red oak splits is the cure. Hope everyone is warm and toasty.

19°F outside with 6” of fresh snow and a cozy 72° Indoors…
Jøtul F500 burning oak…
It’s lovely!

Burnt some beech and maple this morning to build coals.. getting ready for a cold front today and tm. I have ash beech and maple warming up on the hearth.
And yes i plan on finishing the wall and mantle with some brick or a nice slate style tile

Y'all get any snow down there. It just ended here with maybe a inch.

Nope it spit some flakes and that was it.

18 our right now, some ash in the stove currently, tonight will be a mix of ash and cherry

 

[stoveliker]

41 out now, a low of 30 tonight, a high of 31 tomorrow (and snow... No idea how much), with a low in the lower 20s tomorrow.

So I restarted late this afternoon. Pine for the night.

 

[NickW]

6 now, going down to 1 tonight. Brought some beech in to mix with the ash for the overnights. Won't see above freezing in the foreseeable future, will be below zero overnight several times in the next week.

 

[MEngineer24]

Finally got our first snow of the year. It’s been mild for the last week so the stove has been cold. Got a load of black locust maple and red oak burning this morning. Temps are still dropping as this system moves through.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Had 11 this morning with post and red oak going in the stove. Last night we had some post oak, red oak and hickory. Expecting a high of 37 today.

 

[Riff]

61F yesterday, today we have 3+ inches of snow and it's 29F. Have a mix of maple and red oak in the stove to burn while the little ones burn off some energy in the snow.

 

[Beer Belly]

Mostly Maple....maybe a piece of Ash or Oak, not sure, just threw it in

 

[stoveliker]

31 all day so far today. Decreasing to 24 or so tonight. They predict snow, but so far the precipitation has been on the ocean. Maybe some this afternoon. (Kids are hoping...)

The pine of last night is done. Two crooked pine pieces and a curved cherry piece, and two 11" oak shorties for now to have enough heat to dry some snow gear later this afternoon (they hope) and before the oak reload tonight.

 

[thewoodlands]

Our temp bottomed out at - 9.6 this morning, yellow birch was what the wood stove started the day with.

Our temp hit 7 above after I came in from sharpening eight chains.

 

[stoveliker]

So the baby load from earlier today is already done. 29 outside and decreasing. Quite windy too. Evidently burning faster.

So I reloaded with red oak for the night. And a stick of fir - because that's what the BK thread is all about today...
(Literally a stick; 1" dia, top of the Christmas tree of last year.)

 

[sweedish]

A bit of boxelder and quaking aspen, trying to burn my coal pile down from these past few days of cherry and ash. Tonight will be more cherry.

 

[MMH]

Have had temps in the negatives, it was negative 10-20 last 3 nights, singles to teens for highs. Warming up today as a warmer front comes through, temps back to teens-20s at night. Had mahogany last night, pine today; pine and juniper for tonight’s fire.
