What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Oak, maple and a little ash this morning.

We had a low of minus 8.3 this morning, I didn't have a fire last night (set the furnace) and ashes will need to go out before I start a fire this morning.

 

[NickW]

-3 with a good breeze. Heaters were kicking on. Ash & shoulder season mix this morning to start. Not expecting much solar gains today.

 

[Wildflush]

17 outside. House was 64 and furnace kicked on. Quick top start of maple and oak brought up temp to 67. Added a very large elm splintered split on top of the hot load since want to keep the heat going. STT 650.

 

[vatmark]

34 outside, house at 67. 4 oak splits.

 

[JRP3]

34 outside

That would feel like a heatwave around here this winter.

The oak of last night 10 pm is done. I had ran it a bit hotter and it was a nice 71 upstairs when I exited the bedroom. It was 17 then with a wind chill of 3.
21 outside now, going up to 29 today.
A load of spruce now.

Ha ha. Yes I bet it would. Here we say it is freezing cold out. I don't know how you people do it with these temperatures in the single digits and negatives.

-1 with wind chill in the negative double digits. Second load of the day just went in. Coals pushed to the sides and 3 bigger chunks of shoulder season wood in the middle. Got distracted and set off the flue alarm for a few seconds... Oops. Getting a little filtered sunlight. Upstairs is up to 65.

 

[NickW]

Up to 2 above. 3rd load of the day, another small shoulder season load. Small pine and aspen loads run hot and air a little more open don't last long. Sun is still helping a little, but it's only 66 upstairs. Hoping to get the temperature up and some ash out later...

 

[Wildflush]

Getting some melting finally at 28 outside temp. Feels warm out! Keeping downstairs at 75 and upstairs at 71. Reloads have been some lower BTU stuff like some maples and cherrys. Also cut down number of splits to 4 on reloads.

Wear outdoor cloths indoors.

 

[NickW]

4th load of the day is a mix of ash and shoulder season wood. Got some ash out again but the house temperature needs work... Ripping along pretty hot and will keep opening the air as it comes down.

 

[weee123]

Full load of red oak cruising along at 650 STT and 600 flue. Cranking out the btus 76 in the stove room and 25 outside

 

[thewoodlands]

After picking a few things up in a nearby town, I finally took the ashes out just after 1 this afternoon. The first fire had ash with beech splits, the second fire is all beech, six splits.

 

[EbS-P]

I thought/hoping I was done for season last week. Nope. Went top shelf, live oak, dogwood and some maple. I will light the basement stove tonight

 

[fvhowler]

Snowing and mid-20s tonight...its all 3 year old white oak in the wood stove.

 

[Wildflush]

House got too warm plus I knew I was cooking dinner. Let STT drop way down to 200. Had just enough coals to get things going again. Oak, maple and elm. STT 650 teens tonight.

 

[stoveliker]

The spruce from this morning is done.28 out now, going down to 16.
71 upstairs and a reload of red oak and black locust.

 

[Todd]

7/73 Load of Oak in the rebuilt Fireview. Cruising at 575 STT.

 

[Slimdusty]

Brrr! Just a few coals in the stove. Burning propane while I swap out stoves.

-36!! Of all the days to swap out stoves you pick this one?!🤣

Ha, I know it just happened that way. At least I didn’t have to go outside.

 

[Todd]

8/66 A little chilly in here this morning, not use to the new stove. I did have a good 10 hour burn with plenty of coals left. Just loaded her up again with Oak.

 

[NickW]

Currently 5 and rather windy. Was able to keep the heaters from kicking in overnight with my typical ash, beech and ironwood load. Ash, birch and shoulder season wood going now. Will see around 20 today with sun. Deep freeze looks to be over, after tonight temperature looks to stay in the double digits. Looking to get ash under control over the next few days.

 

[Wildflush]

Load of 6 splits of ash, oak, maple, cherry to start the day off. Snow coming this afternoon. Warm weather is on the way. 40’s coming.
