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

-22 already so we have both stoves going with a nice load of beech in the Liberty.

 

Was 0 at 10 pm, now 4 ,supposed to warm up some over night , ash and sugar loaded

Some day it will be +1

 

Love Ironwood.
I'm a hoarder of the worst sort. Have 9 rounds I've had in the house for two years now. They are being saved for "when it is really cold". I always want to have some Ironwood available. Then it gets like this spell, and do I burn it? Noooo....I burn sugar maple. I'm keeping it for cold weather....???? Just doesn't feel right burning it, when I can go out to the stacks and get more sugar easily.
Truth is, I find wet, heavy snow and 25 degrees much worse AND more bone chilling than what we are experiencing this year. In that wet cold weather I just can't get warm. Dry extreme cold, I can get/ stay comfortable, except my hands. The other, when I don't want to do the shoveling, is what I love Ironwood's long burn cycle for.

 

-10 outside this morning and the house is 68-70 after a ten hour burn on white oak and hickory. Burning down some coals and putting more of the same in. Its so impressive that the weather man only missed last nights low by about 20 degrees!

 

-25c again and coaling down before heading to work.

 

It's -14 here and there is straight Ash burning in the boiler as I type.

 

Yeah....but the 7 day forecast shows a +1*C so there is hope

 

Wow, warmed up to -11 f this a.m. Raked up the coals for a quick burn down and then a reload to get things rolling along. 72 here in the cave after a 9 hour burn by both stoves. Everyone have a safe warm day.

 

-5 out and 70 inside...just another day

 

5f or so outside this morning when I got home at roughly a quarter of 7. Lovely lovely deep bed of coals in the princess. Raked them up and threw in a couple of kindling sticks, then let the pack back in. They were ready to come in.

It was all the way down to .... are you ready? 80. My wife is so spoiled. Stove top at 250 or so. Though to be fair it's only 65 downstairs.

Right now two slabs and a split of standing dead oak will have to get us through till I get up. Crazy night shift. Good night, all.

 

My wife would be pizzed if I got it to 80 in here.

 

Mine wears less laundry

 

It's a heat wave
20°F
-7°C
Burning mixed chunky monkeys

 

She's already down to not much at night.

 

I mean mine, haven't been watching in the winders.

 

Winder peeper! Winder peeper! LOL

 

Soooooo......... you keep filling the stove................????????????

 

No wonder you have been changing diapers for 6 years..................

 

We had -19.5 this morning, we let both stoves go cold until tonight. We have Beech in the Liberty with the Pellet Stove going in the opposite corner.

I cleaned the ashes out of the Liberty an then cleaned the glass & top of the stove.
