To be in the high 20°s Thursday, Warm enough to do a good coals burn down & empty the stove. Have near 2/3 cord in there, almost 3 weeks worth (that in its self amazes me) With several days of hot reloads , there's lots of coals to burn down I'll have room for another row of wood, & get back to some longer burn times
Cold here is 10° f or colder. We had a week + O° & colder. Above 10° is warm . All depends on your perspective
Dave, that cold will start coming in here tonight. Temperatures falling tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night before leveling off a bit. Hopefully the wind will all blow out before Saturday when the guys are coming to chop down some pines for our neighbors.
I go outside now, 23° seems warm. Don't need a coat , just 2 long sleeve shirt layers. Near time for you Rocky Mt'ners, & Northern Midwesterner's to bring in some of the "GOOD WOOD" Air mass coming down from Alaska & the Yukon, enjoy with My compliments
Oldest Daughter and family lived in Cali for a couple years. When they moved back, they were wearing parkas when it was 40-50 out. I just laughed.
its amazing how accustomed you can get to cold weather. I worked at a ski resort in CO and it was nothing to wake up and it be -15,-20 out in the morning. I knew it was a cold day when I walked out the house and my eyelids would freeze together. Miss every second of that weather though. Enjoy it Dave!
Does anyone do a partial cleanout? I have found that I only take a shovel or two about once a week in order to keep a good amount of ash in for ongoing insulation.
Wow I take about 4-4 shovels every few days!! Total clean out would have to be done once a week. I have a 4.5 cufy stove!!
Sometimes when I get a good burn down or I've forgot to load & it's a lot cooler & all ash Varies, in cold spells, I keep a hot one going & seems to have a lot of hot coals , & wait for a day 20°f or warmer.
