    I might have to build a new home so I can have a few free standing wood stoves.

    I heard that, possibly a foot of rain in California.
    I hope you don't float away on us

    Thanks Gasifier, I think I'll be fine folks that live near rivers might have some flooding....... Most of the time the weathermen never get it right.

    Geez oh peeminey. Wifey just messaged. Some new friends moved up from Georgia to help a buddy in his mechanicing business. Seems their furnace took a poop and she wants to know if they can borrow my propane cabinet heater. I told her I'd take it over after work if they need. It's all of 11 farenheit here right now. Good lord.

    We're burning shoulder wood that I planned to have used up by December, and pellets downstairs. The Hastings isn't terribly hungry as long as you keep it throttled back. Hope the rest of you are well and warm.

    Meh. Who needs a scale when you can do math? Dry (20% MC) hedge weights 57 lbs a cubic foot. My stove firebox is 4.3 cubic feet.

    My hedge is probably closer to 15% MC so subtract the weight of 5% of a cubic foot of water making it 54 lbs.

    I can't pour hedge into the stove like I could water...But I can stack it pretty tightly...So let's say 75% utilization. .75x4.3x54 = 174.

    Current temp 21°F going down to 13°F. The wind has us in the upper single digits. A little snow expected tonight. We have the pellet stove running and about to put a night load in the oakleaf.
