What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Wildflush]

Been 3 weeks since I cleaned the glass. Just a light grey white haze. 21 outside this morning. Loaded with mostly red oak and a split of elm. Was cranking at 675 STT. Did one reload today with oak maple and cherry. Back to 650 STT. House 76 and let it die out since outside temp was 35 this and wife is now cooking with the oven. Tuna loin casserole from my buddies tuna. Staged more wood since dropping down after tomorrow.

A.load of 3 oak shorties (e/w in the bottom middle) and the rest pine.

Edit, the pine is split small here as I wanted it to be ready in one year (which it was even for a few thick splits that I resplit and were 14%...)

20 currently outside with a real feel getting close to 0. Going down to 8 with a real feel around -15 forecast by morning. Full load with 6 ash, 2 ironwood and 1 beech. Just got home from a day out visiting and the house temperatures are 65ish .

I had a few daytime hours and some evening hour burn time on and usually at this point the stove is relatively cold. Well I got a surprise tonight. Look at this lovely bed of coals! Loaded some nice ash on top.

I miss burning our Moe.
I will be next winter. He's getting a new chimney.

Load of oak, elm and 🍁. 20’s out but mild later today in the 30’s to 40. Dropping to teens and 20’s for the next few days.

Temps dropped fast last night once the sun went down. -4 this morning so we have a full load of elm, oak, and a thick poplar split to get us to the afternoon.

So that colder weather we have coming in is being sent by U!

I ended up waking up around 9 last night, not late but I just didn't feel like starting a fire, I set the furnace again and then called it a night.

This morning the Liberty has a load of maple in it, the low this morning was 24.2.

I was at work yesterday so the wife threw a load of oak in around noon. This morning I’m burning down the remainder and will do a clean out and chimney inspection before the cold and winds come back to visit tomorrow.

7 with -7 real feel. House is chilly but heaters aren't kicking on yet. Big pile of coals, so a full load of shoulder season wood going in shortly. Hoping to get some solar gains once the sun is up.

After I got the kids to school, I cleaned out some ash and cleaned up the stove area a bit. gave the glass a quick wipe too. I took a peek down the chimney just to see if there is any buildup and there is none whatsoever. So loaded up with ash, oak and maple with some pine kindling. House is cool at 64 so gave it a full load.

Never got above 0 today with -20 wind chills! I’ve been loading the stove every 4-5 hours with half loads of Oak and burning at just a tad below medium air. This keeps the stove hot, the coaling down and my cabin in the mid 70’s.

SE WI hit mid teens today but very windy. Good solar gains so I was able to get the house temps up early enough with a full shoulder season load followed by a 3/4 shoulder season load then some bark to burn down some and will get a little ash out shortly. Temps are dropping already so another shoulder season load is on deck. Able to keep up much better with 8 hours reload after the overnight rather than 12 hour. Start a little later, get up a little earlier, nap as necessary 😜.

Cloudy here, but 40 F for the high.
Last night's 8.45 pm load of mostly pine is done. 20 hrs Adding three odd pieces that get me to the evening reload.

Oak

 

[stoveliker]

Reload with 2 cherry splits, some maple sticks and oak shorties.
Found a vein of maple in my stacks that I'll consume before the hot spell (48!) this weekend so that I can empty the ashes during the cold spell that will follow.

We’re already well past the forecast low of -8. Currently at -15! Full 30 lb load of Oak in for my evening burn. Supposed to have a two day warm up into the 30’s later this week but then another arctic blast next week! Roller coaster ride.

Dragon has its usual mix of hardwoods in. One this morning at 6:30, and another when I got home 11hrs later form work. There were barely any coals. Perfect time to sift them out with the litter scoop and remove most of the ashes. Gathered the coals in the center and put 2 splits N/S along the sides. Loaded some splitter slag on top and some E/W splits. Some more N/S on top of those. All smaller wrist sized. A little lung air assist, through the copper pipe, had the slag fire licking at the splits in mins. Left the door cracked a open and air on full. Breathing a good fire in 20 mins. Added 5 more splits and slowed down the air. House warmed back up in an hour. One more load since then so far. Another 5 splits. Time to go back in the lair for another feeding soon.

I'm trying to stretch it out a bit before the overnight which, will be soon.

Ramping up 4 ash, 1 beech and 3 ironwood. Currently 7 with wind chill of -13 and supposed to be 0 with wind chill of -23 by morning... Not quite what @Todd has in NW WI, but still rather chilly.

Pretty stove it is.

We have an outside temp of 25.3 tonight, the basement temp is starting out at 73 with the temp up here at 70, not sure what the temp in the sleeper is. The overnight load has five splits of beech with four splits of maple.

I put 3 or 4 big splits of oak around 4 (first photo). Just reloading now for the night with a huge split of cherry, 3 big splits of red oak along with a few cut offs. Overnight stack isn’t the prettiest, got the wood jammed up trying to load it, so just loaded cutoffs around them.

We want to see more flames @MRD1985 !

After another 5 split load, to hold everything over, the overnight is staged. Red oak limb wood, couple good sized splits of beech, and some pondering of what else. I'm finishing up my laundry so, got time.....
