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

30 outside here and 70 inside. More small maple rounds in the furnace here. Brought the last of it up to the garage from the barn yesterday. Next time I need to restock the garage, I’ll be into some nice red oak splits! Looking forward to it

 

I could go for temps like that here! Seems we’re lucky any more to even get enough ice to go out on the water safely! Enjoy your “real” winter

 

What don’t you like about it?

 

It was about 27 this morning with another load of cherry going in the Lopi.

 

Been fairly warm (45*+) and quite wet here in the PNW past week or so. We have been having daily fires more to drive off the moisture and irritate the power co. than from necessity. The bad part is that we are now in the part of the woodshed that has a lot of Madrone, Cherry and Locust. I start the fire with Doug Fir and we burn only a few sticks of the hardwood per day. I let the fire burn down a bit before recharging a single stick of hardwood. If I use a couple pieces it gets too hot! Last split goes on about 4:30 pm or the house is to warm for sleeping.

 

Lack of BTUs.

 

Never burned it before. Good to know

 

24° outside. 73° upstairs of my split level. Burning 5 compressed bricks for the overnight load

 

I've been complaining about this & here I go again, no matter how much shoulder wood I have it's never enough. I ran Pine & Poplar mostly till late December, now I'm out & burning primo Oak in mild temps. Got plenty of it, but it makes for quick coal buildup when the boiler doesn't run hot. It's been +/- 30F here for 2 weeks with low gray clouds. Getting real boring.

 

29* out 70* in...gonna hang around the mid to upper 30s again today. We may get some rain or we may not. Either way its definitely yuck weather out there.

I'm starting to get towards the end of my red maple stash. Today's mix will include ash and oak.

 

We are warmer then normal, but going single digits this weekend.

 

20 again. Ash and Pine mix in the Wood Gun.

 

23 overnight. Nice and mild here!

 

Low BTU's but also a lot of ashes from it.

 

They keep saying that. The rest of this week is pretty mild. If it actually gets really cold, I've got a bunch of honey locust ready.

Until then, it's ash, Norway maple, elm, or whatever I run across that isn't too high of BTU's for stove food.

 

32f here. First fire this afternoon in our new insert that was installed yesterday.

This is a Regency Hampton i2450. It is working well!

 

Forgot to add I am burning some neighborhood scrounged silver maple that is nice and dry.

 

Our first snowflakes are forecast for Friday. I’ve been burning white and red oak in 2 stoves for a while now. Current outside temp is 41. Inside temp is dang warm.

 

That looks really nice!

Let us know what you think of it, especially once we get some cold weather.
