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

Was 15F when I went to bed, same at 1:30 AM when I got up to check fire, at 5:30 when up to add wood, it was 29F! Went back down to 25 at 7AM.
Strange weather but I'll take mid 20's instead of below 0 temps we have had all week.

 

Again believ me or not, it doesn't matter
My house has been consistently at least 5f warmer with the blocks.
If it did nothing or made it worse I would not have them.
I did this as an experiment and am pleased with the results, I had most materials on hand so it cost me very little
I may make a bigger better version next year

 

Todd Thats a chilly morning! Were -18c/0f under clear skies. A full load of larch with a piece of apple for the reload this morning. Happy Friday! Hey question for the group... my lovely wife wants to paint the basement this weekend which includes the walls behind the wood stove. Ive been wondering how heat affects curing wall paint? I would have to let the stove go cold for a bit to safely work around it. Im also thinking those two wall might wait for a milder stretch. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

 

The heat will speed drying, but I would wait for warmer temps to shut the stove down if you can.

 

Warmest I have ever seen a January day. Going to get some wood bucked. Fire up the Silvey get a few loops of square grind, remove some raker and let the ported saw eat.

 

It was -4° this am. Dogs were like, nope. Not going out.

It was 71° inside at 6 am when I saw the -4.

Ash and Honey locust in the stove. Been emptying the ashes a lot more than usual.

It's supposed to get the mid 30's tomorrow. It's 15° now.

 

They said it was supposed to be 8 last night but actually it was 16 and it's 15 right now 74 inside , they say low 10 tonight we will se.
Supposed to warm up some though yippee

 

9/71 red maple and white oak going. Been home and hour and my feet are still cold and worse a few fingers are cracked. Need to reload the wood racks and plow the driveway too.

 

I tried a lot of different things to keep my feet warm inside with the cold floors in the winter.
These electric slippers are the cat's azz my feet are never cold inside anymore warm your feet up in 5-10 min

 

Nothing unfortunately! In a rental
Currently with no chimney. Im going back home next winter though so I’ll be back in the game!

 

Load of ash in the Fireview. Temps are back up. It felt like a heatwave outside today. Stove is keeping up just fine.

 

Those look awesome lol. I might look into some heated socks but don't want to get shocked with all the slop I trudge through.

 

We have a ceiling fan in the stove room that we use.

 

Heated socks are great for outdoors I have a couple pair , just make sure you don't get them too small, If they are tight they are uncomfortable , you're not gonna get shocked they don't have enough power to shock a aunt, but they will heat your tootsies up good, The heated slippers are just way more comfortable for indoors

 

there are so many to choose from on Amazon I like the high tops to keep my ankles warm but only the bottoms provide heat.

no I have not washed the ones I have but they say The heating shoes can be hand washed.

 

If If you do some research you might find some that you can throw on the washing machine but I don't know
