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

How can you let both stoves go cold when its so cold out?

 

We had to leave for about five hours today so we never run them when we're gone, we set the furnace at 58.

When we got home we kicked the pellet stove on and for quick heat we ran the propane fireplace for 15 minutes.

 

I see, fireplace and furnace backup

 

I don't think it got that cold here last night..maybe a few below...Guess I lucked out...suppose to be about 12 below Friday night...I can live with that...

 

Well, I finally busted up 5 big pallets that have been in the garage, what a pain in the a.. SO, I want to burn this stuff and get rid of it right? Great for kindling, or restarts, or watching it blow up in the stove. However, I just mixed some in with a little Black Locust that was split in the summer. Thermonuclear Night!

 

Not supposed to see double digit temps for 3 days. Chit ton of hedge cooking in the stove.

 

Right at 0º here before bed time. Another early night tonight. Just filled the boiler with straight Ash again.
I'm going to have to bring in some more soldiers in a couple days to give them some time to get warmed up and dry out even further inside by the boiler for a few days.

 

Tryin to catch up,just read 5 pages of posts,I really am now feeling sorry for you guys!!Warmed up for 2 days,then went to crap,warm in valleys and rained but snowed and wind blew up here.Tomorrow gonna be warm but storm coming in fri.As far as people talking about block heaters,almost all vehicles out here get them new.the mag mounts work great but most new engines are aluminum(I use one on my air compressor out in workshed).Oil has changed,electric motor technology has changed(starter motors) and block heaters in a lot of lower areas will become obsolete.Stay warm my friends!!

 

Right at 0º this morning as well. Full load of Ash did well overnight for 9 hours. Loaded with White Pine now.

 

Wasn't to bad last night at 17 degrees outside so I'd didn't put a full load in the stove. Burning some coals down and will be putting in some oak and hickory. Just looked at the 10 day forecast and it looks like lows will be around 0 degree all but two nights. So far the temps have been 20-30 degrees lower than our usual average this month. Honestly I am ready for it to warm up a bit.

 

-11 f again here this a.m.. After 9 hr. runs last night both stoves had nice coal beds and were ready to reload with beech and maple. Stay warm everybody...............

 

-2 when I left for work at 4:45. Loaded the volcano with some red/white oak and kicked the pellet stove up to level 3 for the mrs and baby piney. House was a toasty 69 and climbing as I walked out the door. Wishing I was still there to enjoy it haha

 

10 day still doesn't look good for nearing the end of February! Getting back to "normal" temps sometime soon would be nice.

 

I'll second that ,Thursday night is going to be a cold SOB

 

That yellow rocket fuel I put in the stove last night at 8 wasn't even half gone when I checked it this AM at 6. Love that stuff.

 

A big X3 for me!!

 

10 when went to bed,30 when got up.Supposed to be possibly 60 down in the valleys today!

 

It's BETTER than making money...no taxes!!

 

It's 24 degrees here!!!!!!! That is the warmest it's been in a while!!!!!!!! Wish I was working in the woods.

 

As the crow flies you may be 60 miles from us, and we are at 13 with NE wind. Milder than it has been....
