We have an outside temp of 21.6 tonight, the basement started out at something (I never looked, 77 ?) the temps up here are 68 & 69. The wood stove has seven splits of beech hopefully heating the house overnight.

Congratulations to all you Eagle fans.

Just got home from a Super Bowl party. 12 degrees and calm, house is 66 upstairs and 69 downstairs. Scooped some ash and firing up the coals. Will be ash, birch, beech and sugar maple tonight. Colder stretch coming. High of 26 tomorrow which is the warmest day for about 10 days, single digits forecast most overnights.

 

[thewoodlands]

The low this morning was 16.7, the basement temp started out at 72 with the temps up here 67 & 68. The first load of the day was all ash.

 

[Turbo89]

Some coals and ashes after about 13-1/2 hours or so:

Stove was still around 240, so that oak burned great! She’s going cold for a few days now.

Morning all. ☕️ home from work this am to find the cat just teetering on the active/inactive zone from yesterday mornings cherry, maple and oak load. I decided to have a spruce fire for today with one rouge stick of oak that found its way into my firewood cart. It got down to the mid teens last night with sunny and 32 expected today.

Yesterday’s load before work and a cold start this morning. Yesterday was oak and maple. Today the same with the addition of a split of ash.

 

[Pinesmoke]

Been running on the HP for a week now. Cooling off now so we'll start a fire later today. They are talking 3 storms coming through this week with rain totals around 8".

Mud season is here.

10 degrees with a light breeze. 68 downstairs, 64 upstairs. Ton of coals and charcoal, fired it up, pushed a bunch to one side, 6 ash & 1 birch just went in.

-6/68 this morning. Cold weather advisory out for the next couple days. Probably see -20’s or worse. Glad I have a good supply of Oak to fill my stove!

in the nwNC hills at the foot of the higher lands...

41F out rainy....

slumbering Grandpa Bear was jolted awake this morning...the pre-load of twigs, sticks, and limbs was lit off while the coffee fell....
070F stt up to 500F in about 7 minutes....seriously....

It burnt to a pile of coals by the time i poured a cup and went to reload.

Two Red Oak chunks, a white oak chunk, and two splits of Red Oak, and two of White Oak with some Oak Bark up front to get it over the stall since it had little coals to hold...

Raised the draft, it's rocking a steady 650F+ stt....

So, anyone get to STT that quick?

So I poked the Bear, and he's angry...house is already +5 from waking up...
He didn't notice the flurries mixed in the cold wind along the trees, by the river falls.

Been a bit from burning. Had my chimney swept. Things looked good after 1 2/3 cord. About a pint or so of powder. He went up Pipe from the tee with his camera and powder soot in snow was cap dislodging it in high winds or real hot burns. Everything normal. Good piece of mind. Load of oak and maple to get things going.

Welcome back!

Thank you. Totally missed burning. My wife said she is sitting in front of the stove after work.

650 STT love it!

Yesterday's 10.30 pm load is done. It was 34 max today, 29 now and going down to 19. Upstairs is 72.

I raked the coals to the front and added a split of spruce.

 

[Dieselhead]

A medium sized load of mixed hardwoods should hold us over well through the night. Lit off nicely with the coals of today’s spruce load. house is currently 72 and lower 20s outside. Low in the teens tonight.

 

[NickW]

Removed some ash, separated more ash & small embers to one side, and added 5 pieces of shoulder season wood. Hopefully will get some more ash out when I go to load for the overnight.

 

[Pinesmoke]

Got her going with some mixed limb wood with yellow pine splits getting into the game.

Mud season is here.

Can't like that unless your area has been dry, I'd rather have snow.

 

[Todd]

9/71 Evening load 30lbs of Oak. Gonna get cold tonight, forecasting a low of -18!

 

[mpaul]

Heading down to mid teens tonight. Went with full load of red oak for the overnight burn. House is at 71 as I loaded it up.

 

[stoveliker]

27 now.
Red oak and one white oak split.

 

[NickW]

5 ash, 2 beech, 1 each ironwood and sugar maple for the overnight.

 

[thewoodlands]

The basement temp started out at 77, with the temps up here 68 & 69. The wood stove has eight splits of beech in it for the overnight heat.

The outside temp tonight is 17.5, @Todd , keep those cold temps out there. Old @yooperdave sends us enough chit weather, pretty soon old @clancey will also be sending us some chitty weather.
