We had 43.5 this morning with the temp up here still at 71, once we poured the second cup of coffee, I started a small pine fire in the wood stove.

Gonna get our first snow of the season tomorrow. It's about 40 out right now and have a load of maple and ash keeping things warm

Got a night fire going with some oak cutoffs and some sassafras. Supposed to dip down in the low 30s tonight. Currently up to 79 in the stove room. Rest of the house is a cozy 72.

Not that cold out in NE now but rainy and damp weather. Wife wanted the stove going to take the chill off so a load of cherry went in.
Bit of snow today. Now rainy and a north wind. A couple of weeks ago a load of junk wood was brought in and that’s what’s burning. A mix of mostly boxelder and quaking aspen. I’ll burn better stuff later in the season. Looks like 1.5 fires per day for a few days

Its 38 out now with a low of 25 tonight. I've got some hickory ant post oak for the overnight. I went ahead and loaded the wood rack on the porch this evening since we are expecting a few cool days.

30 with chance of flurries tonight. Bout to load up our first full overnight burn. Got silver maple pine ash and crabapple for tonight. Felling very lucky because first pieces I grabbed tested at between 6 and 13% Mc after fresh split. Much better than our first burn year (last year) when I was scrambling for wood and burning mostly upper 20s to low 30s mc%Mc. This forum has been a huge help
Lit the break in fire earlier in the day. Let her cool down and now a few splits of oak just enough to take the chill off and bring the stovetop up to a low 300 degree or so. 40 degrees outside and 70 inside. Im going to let it cool off and drive her a little harder tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well.
At the moment it's 44.2 out, I loaded up the Lopi with pine before checking the temp in the basement (it was 79) up here is 72 and I'm thinking the basement might hit 89. I let the load burn down some and then shut the fan off.
Nothing tonight, but it’s supposed to dip down into the 20s tonight and tomorrow night, so I’ll kiss summer goodbye tomorrow with some 2020 derecho hackberry.

We had 41.5 this morning, we started off with a basement temp of 72 and the temp up here was 71 but we still had a small pine fire this morning before I headed outside.
Tonight NOAA is calling for a temp of 32 for our area.

Currently 39 out, got in from work. Stove is going now with some sassafras and silver maple splits. Tossed in a few red oak cutoffs im trying to use up. Supposed to dip into the 20’s overnight.
Well, it's the first fire of the season already. Time just keeps moving faster and faster.
Just burning a couple leftover hemlock beam ends to take the chill out of the air.

Is that a cook stove as well? Can it heat your whole house? Looks very cool
Yup its been heating the house and cooking a lot of our food since 2016. Great little Amish built stove. No secondary combustion, but very air tight. Only takes around 1.5 cord to heat our house, with a minisplit in the shoulder seasons.

That is really cool. A wood Cookstove is on my list but the Mrs. Thinks 1 stove is enough
First burn of the season. Little ash. Low of 36.

Just loaded up before bed. Maple and sassafras again.

I am letting the fire die out and have the windows open currently. Been going on on low, with mostly coals today and in the 40s now. Heating from the basement I can heat the entire house including 2nd floor, at these temps, though a bit too warm for my liking. That insulation I put up seems to make a difference for sure.

More hickory and some red oak tonight. Expecting a low of 23 with 33 out right now.
Maybe one of these weeks I'll get to light my stove, we're still enjoying a prolonged summer, still running the AC in my truck everyday coming home from work. They're calling for snow on Saturday, but also +7c (44F), not sure how that's going to work? 🤷♂️
The outside temp is 34.5 tonight with the basement temp at 79 and the temp up here at 73. I loaded up the Liberty with pine tonight.

First Fire of the year. Likely the first frost tonight. Walnut in the stove. Sweet potatoes dug tonight. Garden done for the year. A change of season.
Been having morning fires last few days. Looks like a front is moving in later this week with first snowfall forecasted, calling for highs in the 40s and overnights teen-20s. I’ll be moving some wood around for that.
