38º and raining here, still getting some heat off last nights load of oak. Weatherman said rain moving in by late afternoon.....he was only off by half a day.
I threw a load of oak in on Thursday night, and last night I went back to walnut, and burned a load of walnut this morning, and gonna burn a load of walnut this evening, and will likely burn a load of walnut for the next couple nights....... I don't mean to sound like a broken record..... I had a neighbor, Bob, he burned a wood stove full time, old fella said one day......CheeeezusHcrimeuhnelly I had to make fire in JUNE
30º this morning. I let the boiler go out while I was away. I'll fire it back up this morning with some more Pine slab.
I'm not sure what the temp was when I made coffee but it's 34 at the moment, we have a nice Hemlock fire going.
Been teetering on a fire or not......45º outside and 73º in. I've got some kindling, small splits and a chunk of super cedar right by the stove.....about the same as last night and I didn't mess with it, boiler kicked on a few times this morning. Supposed to hit 34º by morning. OK, heading down to light it up.
Besides for the fire going now for the night, it looks like 2-3 more this week around bedtime might do it for the season ( I've said this before ) still burning SS stuff with a hint of oak.
Once in a while, but pretty much done. Just need to get what I cut this winter finished splitting and stacked. Got a little done this weekend, and of course Buddy helped.
Buds is looking great as usual chief. Up at 3 this morning and if i had a bunch of smalls in the house the stove woulda been lit. Will be ready for it tonite.
No fire since Monday night......we may be done until Fall or at least I don't see anything in the forecast for a fire in the next week. I could have had a small one last night as the boiler kicked on a couple times this morning but probably didn't use anymore gas than a long shower with the hot water heater. I'll leave some wood on the patio for about another week and then look at the forecast......gonna be time soon to clear the wood rack off the patio and move the table and chairs up for drinking coffee in the mornings while the sun comes up.
Good man Loon! Got down to the mid 20's here overnight. 99 told me last night it was going to get cold and I offered to build a fire inside the basement right away, but....... Might stay at the cottage tonight and she will have a different answer to the "build a fire" offer!
Looking at the 10 day I "think" the chill chaser I had light night will be the last of the season. It worked out good this year, I only have two splits left in the garage.
Beautiful fires Loon. 41 this morning? I was HOT all day. Not looking forward to summer temps. Last night had a tiny fire, burning stove load of twigs. It roared and got hot quickly, a huge noise signifying nothing....anyway, took the chill off the air, and it was still in the 70's in here this morning. No fire tonight. Brought some odds and ends from stuff I split in today, and now I have mosquitoes flying around in the house....
