All I have now is Toby a Welsh Springer who believes
every ball in the world belongs to him also all the stick-tight
burs on this farm are to be stuck in his ears

I've got 16% mc ash on the porch, a spotless flue, and it's 55 degrees. It's taking a lot of willpower to not light something off.

 

[thewoodlands]

It looks like the warmer weather will hang around until October 6 when things cool off, maybe we'll start burning then.

 

[ozarkoak]

We doing flue shots? I take a picture every year just to make sure its clean and to prove to my insurance that I actually clean it in case of the worst case. Love the soot eater. Whoever here that recommended it... Thank you.

Ice in the birdbath this morning! Lit a small fire to take the chill off.

Willpower failed, cracked a window or 2 and had a small fire as well. Trying to get better at being more efficient with my wood use in the shoulder seasons not using too much and overheating the house.

No ice here not even any frost! A fire, by the forecast, maybe at the end of October
or early November. Still talking 70+ for the next 2 weeks.
I guess the fire pit will have to do

The forecast is for a little cooler, today -- high of 71°F. It is damp and cloudy.

What I have on my stove is tomato juice -- it's time to can that for the year. What I have in my stove is a mixture: box elder, elm, and sassafras. At least, those are what I have burned so far today, but the day is far from over.

Despite the damp, cloudy, and not-so-cool weather, the Waterford Stanley is drawing very nicely. I re-cemented it last month, so hopefully it will be tighter than it has been. Anyone else disappointed in Rutland's stove cement? I think that is what I had used a couple years ago. By last season, it was all gone.

Our stove manufacturer highly recommends a beginning of the season break in fire. Have not done it yet still too warm. Always end up waiting too long and break in fire is on the first day we need the stove. Going to try to do better this year.

 

[BillBurns]

Im itching to burn too, but the longer I wait, the more wood for winter. Im good to go on wood, so thats a load off y mind.

 

[Todd]

37 this morning but I’m burning a little propane to take the chill off. Gotta make sure that works too.

 

[Caw]

What, did you cover it back up after cleaning it??

I’m just giving him a hard time, I’ve met his dog, he’s great. Gentle giant

 

[Niro]

No need to rush the fires, it still motorcycle riding weather here. 70s all week.

I have a power brush to clean my walls and ceilings every month from calcified drool. When he shakes it gets everywhere. First year it messed up my stove paint so I've learned to be proactive lol.

Like calling the bald guy "Curly".

I had a very large buddy, that I used to call "Slim".

So that means that because my brother calls me "Ugly" I am good looking, right...?

Hit low 40s yesterday so this mornings coffee was accompanied by a small helping of ash and elm. I'm liking the way elm burns.
