Small crap wood fire this morning to take the chill out. Going up to 50 today. Rain coming through tonight with a low around 40. Tomorrow is starting out warm with temperature's dropping all day and 4-8" of snow (according to the weather guessers) starting overnight Wed night and all day Thursday.

Right now just ash and some dying coals. Was out most of the Day Sunday and after coming home from Superbowl party was not interesting is starting a fire when it was relatively warm out. Burned one last night, but going to be warm again today. And being a bit deficient on burnable wood, see no need to consume the limited resources I have left. Will burn at night and if the daytime temp will be under 45.

 

[fvhowler]

No burning since last weekend. Winter seems about over for us but I'm hoping for one more cold spell. Will be near 80 degrees on Thursday.....sigh...

50’s today so no fire. 36 out now dropping to 30. House temp 68 so loaded stove with one medium oak split, one smaller maple and two smaller pieces of ash across the top. Top down fire going good now so added a red stone on top. Main floor should get in the the 70’s shortly.

Pretty mild here...24 hour burns of ash uglies...it has been a mild winter over all and only had to dip into my locust stash a few times...that makes me happy...

No fire yesterday as was near 70f. This morning was 45f so lit small fire just to take the chill off and keep flue warm. Still supposed to get to low 60's today with t'storms. Crazy! Back down to low 20's Friday night some maybe decent fire then.

 

[shortys7777]

Ashes. 68 today which is crazy. Probably burn some maple tonight to keep the house warm.

 

[JamesGuido]

predicted 6 to 8 inches of white rain all day today with temps outside at 31°F
Jøtul filled with parts from a former oak tree

Enjoy your nice day....

Some below freezing temps off and on for a couple of days. Thought maybe was all done burning.

Kindled up a fire with some splintered up pine scraps and some 1” and smaller stuff from the woods (filled a tub with sycamore, ash, locust a few weeks ago) and some slats split off of oak that is inexplicably not supposed to be seasoned. It all cherried out pretty quick - ready for a couple larger red oak splits.

We have 31.1 out tonight, the basement is starting out at 72 and the temps up here 69 & 70.

I have two splits of beech on the outsides of the bottom row with the rest of the splits ash.

 

[NickW]

21 and windy outside. Load of ash, maple & birch. Rec/stove room is about 78, LR upstairs is 69, bedrooms are 67. Really liking the controllability of the multi species fires. All ash filled to the gills gets hard to control. We'll see what happens when I put a damper in and change my horizontal run to angled for next year.

Got tonight’s load ready. Going to be 22 tonight. Two medium oak splits on two kiln dried sleepers. Two smaller pieces of ash diagonally across. Kindling made up of sticks from the yard and two pinecones as fire-starters.

 

[Wildflush]

Well another warm day 43 now so no stove until end of the week when temps drop in the teens. Strangest winter that I can remember

 

[Toasty-Yote]

How do you like it/how does it burn?

Not that it is important but what I thought was chokecherry is actually common buckthorn. Newbie mistake but it burns great.

Myra cruising with a breakfast of elm.

Was warm and sunny yesterday so let stove burn out to empty ashes and clean glass. Was a lot of clinkers...
