Coldest the house got was 64F on both the GF's reloads and return home - and those were afternoon temps with some 20-30mph winds @8-10F with 2x4 walls if ever decide to build a house it will have 8" walls
I've got 20 tonight here in western Iowa. Today the wind dropped off a lot. In the stove I've got hackberry. The house is a very comfortable 70! On tap a Stella Aetois.
Been below zero most the week here and 70-74 in the house with pacific energy summit burning cherry, white elm, soft maple and walnut.
10º on the back porch this morning. Straight Ash in the boiler. Will be cold out when I go out with the tractor after that firewood and logs I cut yesterday. Hopefully there is no wind. I have not been out yet, other than to open the door for the muttleys. The trees look calm though. But, it is Sunday. So I am going to give the neighbors a little more time this morning before I start making noise. I think eggs, sausage or bacon, and toast is in order this morning.
'Warm enough here this morning to let the second stove cool down for a clean-out. Supposed to be fairly warm today, tonight and tomorrow with about 4 or 5 inches of snow starting tonight. Monday night it is supposed to snap down to -15 so refire will be in order. Breakfast sounds good Gas.
Went down to 7°F last night, currently 10°F going up to 30°F today. Its been all pin oak this week. We're expecting a mess of sleet, snow, and possibly freezing rain late tonight through mid day tomorrow. Temps rising at or above freezing this week.
Sounds like our exact forecast! Had 6 degrees this morning house was 71 this morning after a 9.5 hour burn on Shagbark Hickory. Loaded up a bunch of maple, oak, and walnut. Temps should be headed up above 30 today and freezing rain/wintry mix tonight and tomorrow.
Up to +2 now, from -7 at dawn. The highest low I see in the next week's forecast is +16. Very glad to have a modern stove and dry wood. My best stove-tender goes back to college today, but I'll have use of another one for one more week.
28 degrees with light sleet. 68 in the house with the lopi at 475 shelf temp. Not nearly as cold as up north, but I'm glad I have a wood stove.
We have a few cold nights starting on Monday, -17... Tuesday we have a high of 4 with - 15 at night. I did get a nice load of Beech in the Liberty so we'll have the house back to normal. I had family up for the weekend........they like sleeping in cooler temps so I ran the pellet stove most of the time. We saw some nice Div. 1 hockey games, the game last night was a track race (fast) it only took 22 minutes to play the first period.
Up to almost 40 today, finally a chance to get the stove cleaned out. A few soft maple splits for the afternoon.
Warmed up here too today. Hit 33°F so the house is low 70's Mopped up, emptied the ash pan, and cleaned the window. Life is good!
Was 10 this morning but climbed throughout the day to 35. Been burning up some cookies I made with the new saw. Kept the cave warm all day without burning a split since 9 am.
