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

It's 32° and I just finished the detail shoveling on the driveway, after my husband snowblowed it this morning. Waiting to see if snow will slide off the roof and onto the driveway.
I'm still working my way through my shoulder season wood, into a vein of boxelder today. I'm throwing a split of oak on top of each stove load, for some extra warmth.

 

37* and wet snow flakes coming down. Burning red oak in the Fireview.

 

Cute children.Those clothes will be dried in no time.Where did you get your fans and how long do they last ?

 

Yup!


But I really didn't need to be reassured!

 

Thanks! The clothes get dry quickly there. The gate is up to keep the 16 month old boy out of the stove....

The fans, both are EcoFans. Both were bought online and one was given back to me after my folks moved from an old slammer insert to a pellet insert. They are around 5 years old and still work great. Seem to help move the air around however I don't know if they make that much of a difference.

 

Thanks for the reply.Five years I hear is very good for those type of fans.I may have to look into them.

 

27 and 77 and snowing. Supposed to be about 6-10” by the time it ends late this afternoon. Mixed hardwood in the Fireview

 

11 this morning with Ash, Pine, Beech mix.

 

31* outside 69 inside. Burning a mixture of hardwoods. A lot of Ash in the load.
Just got done hauling wood in for the next 2 days. Almost a disaster. As I came in the back door I had to take care of an emergency. Make note to self add another hole to the belt. The load was off balanced and when I lifted the load I stumble towards the wall. Thank goodness I regained my balance. I would have hit the wall and probably face planted in the litterbox.

 

31° now, headed to the 20's overnight, so all the packy snow we got will freeze up solid. At least no more snow in the forecast! All out of shoulder season mix in the house, so I've switched to oak for the night.

 

It was in the low teens this morning with a nice 1" dusting of light snow. You could move it with a broom!

 

26 outside/67 inside - assortment of crooked/twisted splits - enjoying the quiet w/a cup of coffee.

 

26f feels like 15f. Don't know if we had any snow overnight.

 

20 here this morning with Ash and Pine in the Wood Gun. Light snow falling.

 

And, mister, it appears that you're late this morning! Heck, I've got my morning walk in already! May have to put you on report....

 

High for the day was 38ºF. Partly cloudy in the AM, mostly cloudy this afternoon.
Almost out of oak so will be burning red maple (and pine) for quite a while. With the solar gain the morning it got kinda warm in here trying to keep a few coals in the stove between loads rather than let the stove go cold. Supposed to be a bit sunnier and warmer tomorrow so probably just a early AM burn of pine and then see how cool it is late afternoon. Our (forecast 1-3") nine to ten inches of snow is melted down to about 4-5.

 

Birch and spruce keeping things warm.
