Half size shoulder season load just went in. Separated some ash & embers to one side and started to melt & deform my welding glove. A bit warmer but cloudy & windy today. House temperature isn't going up much. Might give up on trying to get some ash out...

I know that feeling. Some times dragon breath wants to bite my hand, glove or not. Have to toss splits in from 8-10''es away. Kinda like feeding a starved dog bacon.

We had a low of minus 10.5 this morning so the furnace kicked on. Since I had other things going on today, the first fire was locked in around 12:15 this afternoon.

I had some not so great maple that should provide us with enough heat and coals until the next fire, beech and ironwood.
 
More Oak. It's 28 outside. 70 inside.
