What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Kevin Weis]

English Walnut and some White Oak. Down to 21 tonight.

Headed to 17 tonight and 13 tomorrow tonight...I am repeating last nights load but increasing the amount of locust..that locust burns like coal...good stuff!

 

[sweedish]

High of about 25 today, was busy in the shed all day and was late with the reload, got a load of cherry on high, then a mix of cherry and ash tonight.

Something unrelated to firewood, I shot a big dear yesterday.
If you count it the old hanging ring way, it’s a 27 point, 1” or longer tines it’s a 24.

Low 20s tonight with a "real feal" of 8° beech does such a good job heating my house 👍

 

[stoveliker]

Was out late today. Did not have time to refill the wood next to the stove with pine. So I reloaded with red oak and the last split of pine.

31 out now, 71 in the living floor, 77 in the basement at knee height, 82 at ceiling height.

Low of 25 with windchill of 14F tonight. Topped off with oak and locust and 2 pieces of biobricks tucked into open spaces. 69F in living room and hoping to maintain 65F when I wake up tomorrow morning.

 

[zmender]

20min after reload with air at ~30%.

Ash....

Got my buck this morning too. Nothing like the one @sweedish got - a 5pt, but on the heavily hunted public land I go to I see a buck about once every 5 years. Last one I tagged was like 12 or 15 years ago. I usually get at least one doe a season though, so the freezer gets stocked.😁

I'm burning Canawick bricks this year. I started late (I'm a skinflint, plus I couldn't find my Sooteater to clean the flue until Wednesday), so I'm only on my fourth sleeve. So far, so good.

I've burned Biobricks, Envirobricks, RUF, and processed my own cordwood. These bricks seem pretty much like the others. Price in northern NH was $400/pallet, plus a flat $100 delivery fee, so I sprung for five pallets.

 

[incinerator]

Red oak chunks and lilac. The lilac i cut over a year ago and seems plenty dry. Excellent burning wood--i wish i had more. I'll save the bigger chunks for colder weather. 11F right now so still shorts and tshirt

We’re supposed to get a bit of snow today. They say 2-3’. Just loaded up the BK with maple and ash. 22 degrees outside and 77 degrees inside.

I’m not sure we’ll get that much snow, and maybe the weather guys just got scared by what happened to Buffalo, and are predicting more just in case.

Pig nut hickory 4 years old.

12 outside. We were out late at a freindsgivinh thing last night an messed up reloads. Got maple ash and Bradford pear in for moring. Stove room at a brisk 44. Back of house at 40 or so. We cheated qnd used space heater upstairs last night

 

[zmender]

House cooled down far more than I expected... 61F in living room.

Plenty of coal for relight although I might've gotten ahead of myself by putting a too big of a gnarly piece in that's not catching. I'll probably have to spend rest of morning putting in small splits in any spaces that opens up.

 

[Marconis]

Oak. Margot approved.

 

[stoveliker]

Maple uglies going to be loaded now, as last night's oak is done for.
36 max today, and stormy (no rain but a lot of wind).

26 for a low tonight so I'm going to run it a bit harder and hope this'll get me to around 10 pm for another load of oak.

 

[BigJ273]

Loaded up some super dry holly tonight. Coldest night of the year so far.

 

[zmender]

Random branches I found in the yard. My stove is probably 60%, 70% of coal. Gotta burn these down next couple of hours.

Holly the shrub? How well does it burn? I'm curious, never heard of it being used as firewood before.

Actually quite well. My first year trying it. My buddy has a TON of it he was clearing off of his hunting property. Giant trees (bushes). Dries fast and burns great., nice and hot.

 

[EbS-P]

First fire of the year. Tulip poplar.
I Love how this stuf burns. Say what you want about it as firewood down here it’s all I need 75%!of the time. It Just lights fast and on a full load close the air all the way and just run on complete secondary combustion.

A lot of what I burn is quaking aspen and boxelder, it all burns when dry

24ﾟ with a wind chill of 18 right now going down to 21ﾟ tonight the woodstove is loping along burning walnut slowly overheating the house. 74 upstairs 79 in the basement.

 

[thewoodlands]

It's 13.3 out tonight heading to single digits, the pellet stoves going in the basement with the temps up here between 68-70.

 

[PAbeech]

Same as last night, upper teens and single digits "real feal" beech as usual doing a dam good job being the only heat source I'm using so far this winter
