Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

Here it’s called wild cherry. Black cherry makes sense. Scaly black bark. VERY PLENTIFUL. Burns great. Aromatic seasons quick. I love it and have access to more than I can use

 

Never had an issue. In my 8th season now. TV 30”
Above insert with mantle in between.

 

Also NOT a good place to put your prized Deer mount. The heat and any smoke that may escape will age the hide and the heat will crack the putty work. Advice from my taxidermist. I do have one on each side of the hearth maybe 6ft from the center of it to either side. Got mirrored similar sized deer. One look left and one look right. So they look toward the center of the hearth. Both are offset shoulder mounts

 

Yeah, I have been curious about others who have done it. We don't use the fireplace so it's just an open waist of space. it has glass doors on it and I sealed the flue off to limit the cold air coming into the house.

 

Tacoma WA. 50* last night. Stopped putting wood in an easy fire about 4PM yesterday. Couldn't sleep well it was so warm in the house. 52*out right now and drizzly, 72* in the house. Will stop throwing wood in sooner today. Have been starting the stove with Doug Fir and throwing what ever comes out of the wheel barrow/wood shed next. Could be more Fir, Madrone, Locust, Cherry or Maple. Just split two buckets of fatwood Fir for kindling and loaded the wheeler and put her downstairs in the garage. Wif has a huge pot of beef stew on the stove and will be siding with cathead biscuits, butter, honey and or cherry freezer gel. We need much colder weather in order to keep heating (and eating) like this!

 

Hold that plate, I'm on my way..........

 

Got up to *9 this morning. Threw a couple of splits in to warm the house a little and then started racking the coals down.
*22 now outside, this is suppose to be our low tonight, and *72 inside. Stove eating a mixture Ash and Oak.
After bad mouthing Woodstock last year I will say the AS is running great this year. I am a believer now.
Burning 2 year old wood this year. Oak Ash and Maple. The other thing was the chimney was partially blocked in the tee where the pipe enters into the liner.

 

Glad you found the problems and it is heating you nicely

 

Head on out! We'll leave the pot on the stove and the porch light on!

 

Low teens at night here in upstate NY. Low teens past couple nights. Burning some Silver Maple up before I get to the oak and locust.

5 degrees at 5 am... house is warm, driveway is a sheet of ice.. bring on winter

 

Got up to 32ºF for a few minutes today, 25ºF currently.
Some big chunks of Hemlock and EW Pine in the stove all day, some oak for overnight.
I had a stack of hemlock up against a stack of EW pine that fell over during the Summer and got all mixed together. Without the bark they look pretty much the same to me.

 

Crap did it get cold last night 6 degrees, to early for this chit. Pulled out some 3 yr old oak to burn, house was 65when I woke filled her up again. After 10 hrs of work house was still 62.
Take that oil man.

Hmm we love mystery wood. Wonder what it was.

 

Happy birthday, Oakman! Burning a couple sticks of pine to burn coals down. Guess the overnight will be silver and sugar maple. Single digits the last couple nights, little early but we'll take it. Will be nice if the ground stays frozen before the first snow needs moved. The couple inches from the other day wasn't enough to get excited about.

 

Love it too man!
