    Only 37 out, 74 inside. Glad I only put 2 beech splits in about 8:30 so it didn’t get too hot. Just enough coals to keep it going this morning with a couple hemlock splits. It’s a hemlock sort of day, around 40 with a chilly rain. Forecast looks like the stove won’t be going out for the foreseeable future.

    14 this morning at 4:40am. Room was 67. Stove was full of orange embers. Easy re-light with a load of pine board kindling and 4 splits of 3 year old ash and white oak.

    19 here for my walk. Had to shovel the deck; more of just pushing the shovel since it was less than 1".

    Not even worth mentioning............Crap! Already did! :doh:

    A light shower went through. No fire overnight but was 66 inside this morning so it did not take long to get the stove warmed up.

    It’s a very damp 36F here and I’m overkilling it with a roaring fire of cedar, tulip poplar, black cherry and sugar maple. There’s a solid bed of coals established so now it’s time for some shut eye.

    29f and windy outdoors. Nice inside. Looks like a high in the mid 40's with potential rain today.

    Wow. That sounds like a really big load for this temperature. I usually put in 3 splits at most.

    20 outside and no fire overnight again. Should have been though but the stove is going nicely now.

    On a bad not, rain tonight followed by high wind and tomorrow is opening day for rifle deer season. Does not sound good and more wind during the week.

    Heavy frost dripping off the metal roof this morning. A NH mix of maple and oak in the belly of the beast. It will be a nice day to make some firewood.

    Definitely went overboard. The pieces were on the smaller side though, not much bigger than kindling.
