Up at 6 this morning. Just enough coals to glow again with some air feed. 17* out and house warmed up with one load of mixed hardwoods. Ash, sugar, cherry, apple, and possibly one split of beech. The bark was off it and the grain looked similar. Exterior wood surface looked a bit more like sugar though. Heat none the less. The Dragon enjoys.

Last night was mostly chunky oak maple and cherry. I had a couple load worth of those species come to the wood racks from the pile. Large and odd shaped they don’t pack the best but still no problem with an overnight burn with plenty left to get going in the am. Outdoors was upper 20s last night and today cloudy low 30s. We have a fresh inch of snow on the ground. The king will have a spruce load for brunch, with the house at 71 I don’t think it will be a full load. Have a great day all, stay warm I’m getting up for another cup-o-joe. ☕️👍🏼
Big pile of coals this morning. 26 out and fine snow falling. Running some pine limbs to get the stove back to hot and then need to dig out some of the ashes before I start pushing hard for the day. It's not gonna break freezing today and into the teens tonight.
Time for another coffee.
Start warm y'all.

Tossed more splits in the dragon's throat. Just 4 but 2 are bigger sized. All Sugar and ash. I'm gonna say that questionable split was beech. It was coaling but still in split form. The others were mostly broken down to coals.
