28 this morning! Had a fire last night so I wouldn’t wake up cold. Comfortable 71 in the cabin this morning.

We haven't had a fire yet but this mornings low was 36 so tonight we'll get some heat in the basement so it's nice and toasty up here.
I still need to clean the chimney 🙄. Highs have been in the 60's & 70's, lows in the 30's & 40's; so not a big deal. Will probably get it done this week.
I just did ours about a week ago, not sure why I wait but there's always next year I can do it earlier.
It was 41 here today. First fire of the season for me. Only about 3 hours, but its 75 out now, lol.
I’ll have a small fire tonight, supposed to be below freezing tomorrow morning.

No fire as of yet. We have had low overnight temps but our house gets full sun from about 10:00 on so it warms up enough during the day at this time of year. I’m sure by the end of the month a load or 2 will of made its way into the stove. I have a couple cord of 2 year CSSTC’d spruce to use up during the mild days and nights.
I have a small load of pine going in the Liberty, it's our first fire of the year. It was 58 out tonight when I started the fire, usually I like it colder but having some fires will put an end to the dehumidifier for this year.
It's raining pretty good out at the moment with some thunder going on.

A few ash splits to keep me and the retired dog warm.
Hopefully nothing till mid Nov. Got to be stingy with wood this year to make sure we're not screwed next year.
Gonna be using junk branches for shoulder burns when needed.

The second fire tonight is going, before I call it a night, I'll shut the fan off.

Feeling the Heat
nothing inside the F500 now, yet.
sitting here wearing bed shorts and an old hoodless sweatshirt, it's 44°F outside & 63° in here.
tempted to fire up the 1st of the season.
am I nuts to do so?

No you are not nuts. Your stove, your wood, be comfortable. If it cold enough to draft and you are not comfortable I say fire that boy up. I know I would. We have the same temps here or at least close. It 47 outside and 65 in the house but I still have a fan in the window and it will hit 78 or so today.

Nothing yet. Won’t burn until around Halloween. Mini splits to take off the chill if needed.
Our morning lows have been dropping below freezing even with the highs in the 60’s. 26 this morning so a small evening fire is nice to keep the cabin temps comfy by morning.
We had 35.4 this morning, two quick fires had the basement at 79 with the temps up here hitting 73.

May be dipping into the 40’s here on Long Island the next few nights, I think the house will still retain warmth from the daytime temp but I may light a fire just because. .
Nothing yet for me. Probably not for another month unless it gets really cold. Mini splits can take care of anything needed. So far haven’t turned them on.
I'm hoping we can go until the first of November before lighting up, but we'll see. The past couple of days have been nice and in the high 60s.

Had a small hot load last night to take the edge off. We are in the high 30s overnight but hitting 60s and low 70s during the day. Seems like the night fire works good for my setup house was still 69 this morning and will likely see some solar gain through the day. Next week shows 50s for high so that will be nice.
We had 38.5 out this morning, we also received some rain last night. This morning I did a quick first fire and then loaded it up again after I came back from the store. The last I checked the basement was 77 with the temps up here 70 & 71.
