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

25 here. Running with the Defiant and the 30. 80 in each stove room. Wearing a tank top. Wife and cat are out cold... or warm in this case.

 

13 Here now, Forecast says a low of 9 hear, Getting ready to reload waiting, for coals to burn down a little, Burning ash and oak mix

 

-3 F here now. 75 in my stove room, 70 farthest room away. Burning ash. After reading all the posts, I think my stove is to small for my house. I have a coaling problem in this cold weather. But she still keeps us nice and warm!

 

14 with 0 windchill.Almost tropical compared to same time yesterday.Mix of 1 Hickory round & a couple odd chunks of Honey Locust & White Oak from the scrap pile.Just started snowing,its very light.Supposed to see 3-4 inches by late tonight.

 

Sunday morning. Got down to 7'F last night, currently 23F. We're supposed to get a nasty mix of sleet and snow late tonight into tomorrow.

Fireview is not breathing hard keeping the house warm and cozy currently at 71 on the far wall of the stove room, and 69 at the very back of the house over the garage, thanks to one of those little Toronado fans that makes minimal noise set to lowest setting.

Wife loves the Fireview.. no more listening to "oh, do you have to light the stove"

 

On and off sleet here with a few snow flakes thrown in. Need to run to the barn and put a load of wood on the patio.

 

Well, we hit the forecast low of 1 at 3:30 a.m., threw another split of lodgepole on the fire and went back to bed. Woke up at 7:00 to 2 outside and 57 inside! Loaded a couple of nice, solid oak splits and I'm trying to get the secondaries to light off. Bring it!

 

19f last night at 1:00 a.m. 23f this morning. Had a mixed load of hard maple, hickory and locust burning. Supposed to be warming up and chance of freezing drizzle overnight. Yuch.... got some american elm and hard maple burnin......The little lady and I are heading out now to cut a Christmas tree.

 

It's about 21, still burning the hemlock & pine, we'll throw some cherry in for an overnight burn.

 

It has been a cold week. Record low temps in the mid 20's with highs in the 40's. That may sound like a day at the beach for some of you east coasters. Here, we usually don't get a freeze until January. Keeping the place at 65-74 with mulberry. Noisy outside with all the neighbors electric heat pumps going non stop.

 

Right now it is 21 (insert new degrees Fahrenheit smiley symbol here ). Boiler is currently burning through some more Ash and a little Maple. Ran into some pieces of Ash that are about 23-24 inches long. The boiler will take splits that are up to 26 inches in the burn chambers longest places. But, at the center of the back wall of the burn chamber there is an air intake pipe that will not let you get one in that long. Maybe 24 ".

 

Funny you should mention that, I finally took the time to look up the special character keys for the degree symbol. Hold the ALT key down and press 248 on the 10-key pad, release the ALT key and ° voila! It doesn't seem to work with the number keys across the top, it might if you don't have a 10-key pad. You Mac people are on your own.

 

° -success! I never remember where to find the menu. Where is it?

 

Nice and toasty in here enjoying a bowl of Vanilla ice cream with bananas

 

Dropped down to 26°f, last load close to burned down.
House 74°.
Will give it a full load, "of Birch" of course, later.

To get down to 23°,
about 12° above the norm for this time of the year.
Saving wood at these temps

 

Wow you're pretty warm up there.
27 is nice here right now compared to the 10 last night

 

Hah
Feels good to be above the norms.
But you can have this freezing rain stuff.
Give me snow any day before this weather.

I'll take 20° days & single digit to teens at night , all winter
& not miss this stuff.

 

19° (hey. cool. thanks Mr. Whoopee ) And I am starting to wonder if my thermostat on the back porch is broken. It has been 19 or 20 in the morning when I get up for 4 or 5 days now. The Wood Gun is going through almost a whole burn chamber full of Ash wood in 10 hours at these temps.
