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

Yup, gloom and doom mountain man.....gloom and doom!

 

Yooperdave,
Any good pasty's in your neck of the woods?

 

yup 5 degrees at 5 am burning maple and ash ... it snowed no idea how much bare in spots 1 foot drifts in spots so wind is blowing.. 20 to 25.. all over news dangerous wind chills... well no duh.. it's cold and windy 75 inside

 

Couple of bakeries in the immediate area whose pasties I enjoy.

Pretty much anywhere in the U.P. has pasty's....haven't ever found anywhere without 'em!

 

It is 21° and some ash and locust along with some oak uglies burning in the boiler, supposed to see 33° today.

 

We are finally! Starting to have a New England winter here. We had a lousy January, warm and chitty. We got a foot of snow this week, and another foot coming of the next couple of days, with real cold. 16 for the high today and the next few, cold forecast for the week ahead.

 

Nice snow pics and nice stacks NH mountain man

 

That picture sure captures your weather well.

 

Not sure if this is the right thread or not but can you give me some insight to the benefits of your 400 gallon buffer tank? Firewood savings? I'm guessing quicker water temperature recovery time which would add up to less wood used? What type of tank is it? Insulated I'm thinking? I have a CB 6048 owb & was wondering if a tank could cut down on wood usage. Also best location of tank in system loop etc. Thanks!

 

Whooohoo, had three flakes of snow at plus one so stocked Nellie up poured a jack an moved to hearth rug

 

I don't know that it cuts down much on the amount of wood used. Some during the shoulder seasons. I believe it is best descibed as making the system operate more smoothly. Like you said, helps with recovery, stores heat energy for your entire system. Less on and off cycling. It is a used air receiver tank, nice and clean when you get them. Fittings already there, etc. I sprayed it with a closed cell spray foam kit I bought. Sometime when I have more time I'll try to remember to post up some pics, or links to some post I've already made. Gotta run.....

 

Finally you going to get a decent snow storm...Unfortunatly we are too...

 

Low 40's to low 50's next few days with rain guessed at.
tossed some cherry and ash in the Greedy Beast, busted the good wife a skinny "rick" of small-ish splits to feed thru the weekend.
You good people be safe thru the big snows you're talking about.

 

Thanks, we'll be fine, 12" to 16" of snow around here is just a heavy dusting.

 

We just got about 11'' yesterday. 1-5'' tomorrow, then the weather folks have us in the "jackpot" zone for Sunday into Monday 12-24''+ and they are "hinting" about another big one Thurs. Let 'er rip!

 

It's about 8-ish here tonight with snow. I didn't even see it in the forecast the other day when I looked. I saw the snow was coming for Sunday. But not for tonight. Now we may possibly get 3" or so. Oh well. Then between Sunday and Sunday night a total of 5-10 " maybe.

I've got Ash and what looks like a little Oak I found in one of the stacks . Nice.

 

19 degrees fahrenheit (outside)
72 degrees fahrenheit (inside)
Snowpocalypse Orson is guesscasted to be rain for me


oak fire

 

Looking at -16 C ( about 4 F), but warming slightly overnight, and some great weather on the way. Poplar and a stick of willow in the reactor.
