What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[thewoodlands]

Since the winds were still pretty high last night, we set the furnace on 62. This morning we had a low of 21.4, more cherry and some ironwood.

Tonight NOAA is calling for a low of 14 so we'll go with all ironwood in the liberty.

We had 16 .4 this morning with the liberty seeing more cherry and some nice rounds of ironwood.

Fed the Kuuma furnace some cherry tonite and probably let the propane furnace take over the heating duties tomorrow

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 36.7 this morning, more cherry providing the heat.

Cedar and locust this past week but we had temps in the 60's today.

 

[Dix]

Right now? some paper towels from cleaning the door glass, 3 paper towel tubes (yes, I save them ), crumbled up news paper (about 7 sheets), and 4 pieces of 3 YO oak & pine bark.

Just about ready to rumble

 

[Ashful]

Red oak. Really, why burn anything else?

 

[Chas0218]

As of right now only thing in my stove is ashes. I haven't ran a fire in it since friday last week.

 

[thewoodlands]

I didn't have a fire last night but we had one this morning, it was 37. We'll have a fire tonight with the temps dropping to 31.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 32 this morning, we have more maple going in the liberty.

We're doing small fires at night as the daytime highs are in the 60's & 70's. Getting rid of the uglies & branches. When the nights hit the 50's consistently, we call it quits with the fire. Thet will probably be in thr next couples of weeks.

Damn... I’m already thinking about sailing. We’re into highs in the 60’s, already. Lows 35F to 55F, depending on cloud cover.

 

[thewoodlands]

I'm glad that we kept nine rounds of ironwood for some overnight burns, tonight we should drop to 27 and tomorrow night we could see 18. We'll go with maple and some ironwood the next two nights.

There must be more than a half dozen completely unrelated species of wood nicknamed "ironwood". Of which one are you speaking?

To me, ironwood is and always has been Ipe, but you're not getting that 'round here.

We had a low of 22.6 this morning with some soft & hard maple providing the heat this morning.

I knocked down an old rotten shed and now my boiler is chewing on the unpainted (and untreated) lumber from it. I'm sure I will have to dig a few nails out of the ash next time I clean it, but that's what magnets are for.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 18.3 this morning, just another load of maple in the liberty to start the day.

 

[sweedish]

Temp has been hovering around 34 all day today, still experimenting with the stove. Pine is in it currently and has been for the last week.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 37 this morning so we went with the propane fireplace for a bit.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 47 this morning with the winds going pretty good, nothing for a fire today.

 

[thewoodlands]

The temp was 28.6 this morning so we turned on the propane fireplace while we had coffee.
