    We had about 23 this morning, I ran the pellet stove last night but shut that down this morning.

    I have a load of Cherry in the Liberty, it took a very long time for the blower to kick on (almost an hour) so I'll be getting a backup snap disk just in case that's the problem.

    It's about 28 so we have a load of Cherry in the Liberty. I did buy the extra snap disk for the blower on the Liberty when I was in town.

    Welcome saskwoodburner .
    Around here it is still warm compared to a normal year. Today saw a high of about 37ºF or about 3ºC. The forecast for x-mas is 53○F, about 12C. It is shaping up to be a brown x-mas.

    Do you get many brown Christmases Oldman47? We almost had one a number of years ago. In the 17 years I've lived in the Rockies we've been white every year. Sure is white around here right now thankfully. My son and I were out for a second day in a row shoveling the driveway. I grew up in Vancouver and don't recall a single white Christmas although I know there was at least one since I moved away.

    I warped the top of my stove I think a few years ago stuffing it full of Bulk locust! The top and the corners where the cats mount in the too of the stove. Its jut the inner plate and the steel around the cats that the smoke takes to exit when cats engaged

    Most years we can count on a white X-mas but not every year. This year I expect shirt sleeve weather on X-mas. I have seen temperatures in the low single digits this close to the holiday in some years in the past.

    We're finally getting some snow so tonight. 100_9670.JPG
