This is the latest "first fire " I've ever had. And it'll be 75 tomorrow. I could have comfortably waited another 2-3 days before the cold front hits. My name is Mike, and I'm a hoarder.
35F, still waiting on first freeze. got things started with poplar/pine then burned exclusively red oak overnight.
33 f and dropping to 25f by 5PM with strong winds. So far a small fire with three splits of birch is doing the trick.
37\°\68° when I woke up @1AM. Fire was out, built another and now have it cruising at 76°. A split of elm in the back, old oak chunks in front...
32*. Just got the morning started with more kentucky coffee tree. Next week it looks like we won't get out of the 30s. Will have to bring in some big guns, these kentucky coffee tree splits aren't going to cut it.
