What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[thewoodlands]

It's 47.7 outside tonight, I had a small fire earlier tonight so I would have coals for the overnight fire. The basement temp started off at 73 with the temps up here 68 & 70. The overnight load has some ash and maple going in the wood stove.

 

[thewoodlands]

The outside temp was 36.8 this morning with some good rains overnight, both temps up here were 69 and the basement temp was 72. I took some ashes out and then started a fire around 11.

57F inside today so lit up a mix of cherry shorts, and an oak split with a top down set up using mostly just oak bark as sleepers on bottom and middle row. Twigs and pine cones on top.

Yellow and white birch lastnight. Today, nothing, it is warm woohoo!

Right? AC is on 74, not even idling. The pollen is insane, the world of horizontal surfaces is yellow. Trees are coming on hard.

Day before yesterday we had the place open and it's covered in pollen inside. Close it up, ac on for a place to get away from it

Same here. It is absolutely disgusting.

We have a small fire going that will burn down by 10 if not before, that will give us plenty of coals for the overnight fire.

There were a few nights where it was raining pollen. Vegetables feeling their oats.
I stopped with fires when it got up low 40s at night, a month ago. It might sound strange but as much as I love a heat source which provides endless hot water and limitless cooking while running, I switch to electric as soon as I can. The wood is too important to be used lightly for me.

Back home. 3/4 shoulder season load went in about 7:30. Just opened the air up some to get it down and ready for the overnight hardwood load.

 

[thewoodlands]

We have an outside temp of 33.6 tonight, the basement temp is starting out at 73 with both temps up here at 69. The wood stove has a load of ash & maple for our overnight heat.

welcome to Hearth @punky chunks !!

Currently 39 with a full load of ash, sugar maple and beech.

I threw in a small mix load of maple and cherry. It’s rainy still, and high in the low 40s today. I got home from work this am and house was 65 and the heat was on. I was surprised to find a fair amount of coal from Saturday evenings overnight fire, I thought for sure I would be doing a cold start. Pic 1 is of the new load on old coals and pic 2 is evidence we are approaching end of season with the not so translucent glass.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had a low of 28.6 this morning with snow coming in tonight. The basement started off at 70 with the temps up here 67 & 68.

After coffee, I started a fire with some maple with plans on putting in a small load of ash or whatever is in the area I'm getting firewood from.

25/78 it’s a chilly one out there today, probably won’t get above freezing today. Full load of Aspen burning this morning.

 

[Wildflush]

Upper 30’s and rain for the last 3 days, can’t take it anymore. Just lit the Vista up with mix bag of smaller splits. Wife said she is cold at work so will have a warm house for her.

 

[NickW]

Had a great pile of coals and the house was still 69 when I got up. I reloaded late this morning with 2 ash and a sugar maple to create the tunnel of love and a pine split and round off to one side. Simmering now...

 

[Dieselhead]

A low of 36 is forecast for tonight so I’m getting a head start on tonight’s load before throwing some smash burgers on the griddle.

Been burning a bit sporadically! Winters going stick around for a few more days it seems. I’ll be burning for the next few days and then that will probably be it for the season! Tonight, silver maple and oak.

 

[thewoodlands]

The outside temp is 36.6 tonight, the basement temp is starting off at 73 with the temps up here 69 & 71. The wood stove has 3 beech, 3 ash and 1 maple split for the overnight load.

 

[NickW]

26 degrees. 4 ash, 1 sugar maple and 1 monster chunk of honey locust that barely fit. Not packed very tight because of some odd shapes and poorly trimmed branch stubs.

 

[Todd]

10/70 feels like Winter again! Supposed to warm up to 42 today. Maybe 50’s this weekend. New Fireview has been working like a champ with these 12 hour reloads of Aspen.

 

[MRD1985]

Mix of hickory, silver and red maple, ash and oak this morning. Supposed to be very windy later on with dropping temps below freezing tonight without wind chill.

 

[shortys7777]

Oak. I'm running real low on wood. May need to break into some of next years maple. Definitely need to grab a few extra loads of ash at my parents this spring to stock back up.

 

[thewoodlands]

Our low this morning was 25, the basement temp started out at 72 with the temps up here 67 & 68. The first fire had a mix of ash, cherry and maple. Since the lows tomorrow morning are forecast below 20, I had another fire with the same types of wood, the basement temp should be around 79.

We've had snow all day, we should end up getting a total of 3 inches.

 

[Dieselhead]

33 and dropping outside, load of mixed hardwoods is in. Maybe the glass will clear up a bit after this load?
