Burning some older wood that was piled on the ground and isn’t real great.

That's no fun!

 

The daytime numerical low temperature . I got many readings around the yard that were Lo. Which means 60 below F or 50 below C or colder.
I really would like to find a quality , dependable thermometer that goes down below the coldest temperature we will get . . Which i know is close to 80 below.
Spruce short butt splits and half cookies doing great at keeping the house comfortable for the daytime . Split Birch for the overnight loads.

 

These temps are why my walls are9 to 10 inches thick . The ceiling joists/roof rafters are 12" and 14" and floor joists are 10" . All with dense packed cellulose insulation . Andvwhy I Thank God that I had the time and materials to enclose the porch/arctic entry. In winters past we would go through 2 wheelbarrow loads of wood per day in constant 50 below and colder temps . Today we will use probably 1+1/3rd . Due to getting the window and man door installed in the entry .

 

27 now. 2 Osage Orange splits, 5 small oak rounds, couple little pine branches.
Winds last night gifted a dead and dry oak branch today.

 

21°/74°

Honey locust acting like coal. Just doing it's thing

 

Low 50's here so perfect weather to split some wood. Over filled 1 tote plus worked on another. Not much of a dent in the pile waiting to get processed. Some ash, elm, and a split of HL in the stove for tonight.

 

Hovering around 10-15 here. I have more of the ‘not great’ wood in the stove and apple/cherry in the smoker for bacon. I didn’t weigh it, but there should be about 40 lbs in there.
