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

Where I was it was in the 60's all day until the sun fell, then the temp dropped. Made for some good wood cutting though and I got a good haul in today, but it dropped like a rock when the stars came out, currently burning a little pine hemlock and a few pieces of American elm.

 

I'd LOVE to have 6 cords of red oak!

 

Still 55º here this morning. A light drizzle going on. Ash burning to keep the hot water for the showers steady.

 

A decent amount, but mostly only 1 morning and/or 1 evening fire to take the chill off. Last weekend was real cold and we kept the fires going pretty steady but we've had another warm spell here in CT the past few days so back to sporadic. Starts cooling tonight though and then stuff gets real this weekend!

 

Nooooo, mrbill! Welcome, where are ya?

 

FINALLY hit freezing last night--32deg. Highs only in low-40s today. Been burning night and day now for 2 days. Whoo hoo!

 

Woody asked Nooooo, mrbill! Welcome, where are ya?

SE Washington state. Only thing around for miles is wheat fields.

 

Here it was 63 on Monday afternoon,by Tuesday morning it was 26 with 1/2" of snow & 13 degree windchill

High temps 25 to 32 through next Monday is expected.Lows in mid to upper teens with occasional gusts.Possibly 1 to 3" snow on Saturday.

Nice in here though, mid - upper 70's in basement,a few degrees less on main & 2nd floor thanks to a mix of 2 yr old Honey Locust & Mulberry with a smattering of old wormy Cherry scrap,Silver Maple & the odd piece of wormy Redbud.

Have plenty of dead (split/stacked 2 to 5 yrs old) Red/White Oak & a little Shagbark for Dec-Feb if needed.....

 

I am originally from Spokane now living on the wet side, my kid is going to school in Pullman

 

That hearth & mantle are awesome. Is the mantel Red Elm also? Sure looks like some lumber/smaller projects I milled/finished in years past,especially the pieces holding it up...

 

36.5 on the Radio Shack Special, the pine and the hemlock are doing the job, 77 in the basement while the living room upstairs is 72.

We'll keep burning the same wood until the last rack we have inside is gone.

 

Down to 34º on the back porch now. Ash and Pine a goin in the Wood Gun.

 

Just put a dozen or so oak splits in the ol' smoke box. Should be good for 16 hours.

 

Down into the mid 20's now, it's COLD for here! I'm into the Madrone for the cold snap. The stove is putting on a show for sure. Here's what the view looks like..

 

, 32 now low 23 tonight, burning ash, Elm , and a couple sticks of red oak

 

Low of 16 tonight Burning an Oak log. Temp tomorrow 31-18 and 5-7 inches of snow predicted Thurs and Fri. Covered my woodpiles with tarps and hauled some wood on to the patio.

 

I think I loaded the stove a little too full for 30 degrees cuz its 87 in here
stove top went up to 725

 

-13 currently which calls for burning a very small stash of 13% mc gambel oak.
