    Stop listening to Rotti then. I know not of what you speak. Maybe you have me confused with Smoke Show?

    Burning more elm splits 19° out and falling. Got the fire going after we hot home, and had valentines dinner out. The room with the FP is already a couple degrees warmer.

    I'm so looking forward to having a nice efficient insert next year.

    Our power company gives us an "Average Temperature" during each billing period. No idea where in the state they measure it, or how, but here is the recent history for January, in degrees Fahrenheit:

    2005 15
    2006 27
    2007 23
    2008 24
    2009 18
    2010 21
    2011 15
    2012 25
    2013 19
    2014 16
    2015 13

    It is -8F now and falling. Luckily there is no wind. The cows had been choosing to sleep outside, but some were in the barn tonight. I'm down to 3 cord in the woodshed, but will be able to get back out to the stacks by the time I need to replenish.

    4 here in RI as a low tonight. I remember temps like this as a kid in the 70's, but not much like this in a very longtime.

    Got 8 degrees outside, 78 inside. :dennis: Think I have just enough of the ash left to get through this cold snap, then I'll start working on a cord of red maple.

    Right where I want to be.
    Almost 10deg. this morning and the house was 70 just before 7 a.m.
    Looked at the forecast and it shows OT falling steadily all day and night until tomorrow morning at 7 will be -21F.
    That WAS NOT in the forecast yesterday, or the day before. Looks like the DV will be working all day and night ......again.
    Looks like MY forecast for firewood use this winter is going to be wrong too.:headbang:
    Anyway, put a few small splits in the stove to burn down the coals and warm the house a touch, then a full load will be going in. I may have to set the alarm for 4-5 a.m. to make sure the house isn't getting chilly, and I have a feeling I'll be leaving the primary open a little more than usual for a hotter burn.
