What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[MRD1985]

Had the stove going today. Never got around to posting anything. Here is tonight’s also. Oak, maple, and some hickory made it in. Lows in the mid 20s with lots of wind

35 going down to 28. 72 upstairs.
At 1.30 pm I had added two small splits of pine, two splits of spruce, and two oak shorties.
That is almost done but I am tired. Apart from driving kids around I split a bunch. Three more rounds and then all, apart from a pile of uglies for the neighbors, is split.

A reload with oak, and one small pine split and a thin slab of spruce to fill it to the top.
Tomorrow 44, and then 33 overnight will likely be the last fire for the year of the forecast is correct.
Except for One more firebox cleaning hot fire later.

Just tossed on a real big oak split and a 5” or so oak round. Stove has a great bed of coals, STT sitting at 600, CAT settling in at around 1300, and shops already 65 (outside air at 27)…. Should be nice out there in the morning.

Just got home from work and stuffed her full of Bradford Pear before heading off to bed.

 

[Turbo89]

probably went out a little too late, lol. Shop at about 58 and enough red coals left to re-light, but STT at 175. She’s re-lit and off to the races now:

Maple and cherry this morning. Won’t run as hot around 600 STT.

 

[Turbo89]

Mid afternoon re-fill, shop got up to like 76 at one point… i felt like I was in Miami for a second! 🤣



It back down around 68 now… stoves going to be on low now until it goes out.

Last night's load of red oak is done. A load of spruce and pine. 46 out, going down to 33. Tomorrow in the 50s.
Don't know how warm it is upstairs because I've been out all day. Apart from four knotty pieces that will end up at the neighbors all of that (for me) monster load is split and stacked .

This will be the last load for a while, possibly until next burning season.

Impressive burn time! Was that like 20hrs?

10 pm to 7 pm, 21 hrs.
But it was warm today and we had solar gains so I ran the stove quite low.

We didn't have a fire last night, I set the furnace. Today the first fire was some chitty white birch, the second fire has some beech providing the heat.

I haven't been looking at what the temps have been, inside or outside but it looks like the warmer weather will be moving in tomorrow or Tuesday.

No fire at all today. Just got home, house is chilly, 43 degrees outside. Cleaned out some ash and firing up the charcoal with some paper and kindling and warming the flue. 3/4 load of hardwood going in shortly.

 

[MoLumberjack]

Full load of Hackberry for tonight's burn. This may be one of the last burns for the season for us here in southern Missouri. Supposed to be highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s for the next week here.

 

[stoveliker]

The stove has gone cold. If no further colder weather arrives, see you next season on this thread!

 

[NickW]

Will be no fire tonight here, but probably a quick shoulder season load in the morning. Typically we are still having overnight fires into May, but the house closing here in SE WI is before that... I would expect I could burn through May when we are moved, but with the gas furnace up there I probably won't be nearly as diligent about burning in shoulder season.

 

[thewoodlands]

The first fire of the day was started at 6:30 tonight, a few splits of birch with the most being birch limb wood.

 

[thewoodlands]

It's 32.4 tonight, the basement temp started out at 72 with both temps up here 69. The wood stove has five splits of beech in it for the overnight heat.

 

[begreen]

Mix of fir and madrone in the stove tonight. It's going to be a cold week.

Feeling like the shoulder season. Just running half loads in the morning both Monday and today. Waking up to house in the low 60s / upper 50s but with mild temps and lots of solar gains the house heats up relatively quickly.

 

[NickW]

Mixed load of ash and shoulder season wood this morning. House is chilly at 66 up and down. Mid 40's and sunny expected today.

 

[Dieselhead]

5 spruce splits and one piece of red oak. It got down to 29 last night and the house was at 61 upon my arrival home from work. Solar gains will help today and a fire tonight is not likely.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had an outside temp of 35.1 this morning, the basement temp started off at 70 with both temps up here at 68. The morning fire has some smaller rounds of birch going in the wood stove.

25 this morning, supposed to be high 30’s today so loaded up the Fireview with 5 oak splits and burning a low and slow cat burn.
