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

22 and gusty. Supposed to drop into the teens, so I brought in the emergency sticks of BL. Burning poplar, maple, cherry and oak throughout the day. I also had some pieces that I believe were Hophornbeam.

 

16/75 and quite windy. Maple lumber cutoffs and black locust now.
Ash and black locust on deck for the overnight

 

0f for the start with a high of 23f. Burning locust but will switch back to lower BTU woods tomorrow as 40's for the week. Looking like a brown Christmas again, but I don't mind.

 

Still below zero here but supposed to be 25 tomorrow. Keeping the stove filled with oak, elm, and other mixed hardwood. I am tempted to go out tomorrow and dice up some doug fir slabs.

 

I felt it burned pretty good when I took 2 down. I've seen it compared to Ash btu wise but thought that couldn't be. However I was pleasantly suprised and would say it is pretty close. The smell though oh god the smell is terrible when processing it.

 

It is 2 now and will drop to 0. The cold snap ends tomorrow with a high being a balmy 28.

 

13f/74f white oak and a piece of black locust going. Not looking forward to working in below zero wind chills all day tomorrow.

 

18 going to 11
We're about 1/3 of the way through a 2 cord stack of ash. Much of this winter's wood is ash & there is more coming. I wonder if this will be the last year of cutting ash?

 

I was trying to figure put why the house was so cold when it doesn’t get that chilly inside until the temps drop to -40. Yep, sure enough, I forgot to plug the pass-through pipe in the basement wall when we wired the new shed. A 2” pipe just blasting sub zero air right into the house! All fixed now and the house is warming up quickly. Can’t believe I forgot to plug it.

 

-43 on the snowplow blade , -40 on the outside wall of the arctic entry . Spruce short butt chunks in the stove . Will load out with Birch for the overnight.

 

14 Red oak and BL

 

8 Winds are picking up

 

15 / 68 mix of ash and oak

 

14 going to hit a heat wave of 25
Burning a mix of oak and beach

 

0 here. Been just burning dead ash and elm i cut over Thanksgiving week. Gonna get warm almost 60 by Thursday. Rather it stay 0

 

12 heading to a balmy 25. Tulip poplar, sycamore and red oak to start the day.

 

71 in. Wide open drafts to burn down coals this morning before the reload. Oak doing the work. The 2-3” of snow we got isn’t going anywhere with these temps.

 

The Wood Wolverine said it for me in the above post

 

x2

 

It was -10 when I went to bed. I don't know what it was when I got up but I think temps went up a little overnight with south wind.

Right at 0 now. The boiler still had a good bit of yesterday's load of oak and hickory.
