Had a wind chill readding on the weather station Thursday morning of 45F, and the house did feel a bit on the chilly side. It should warm up during the day I figured and got ready to go to the hospital and give moral support to wife and her sister who's hubby is having some test to find out what caused him to pass out last week end and make his defibulator go off. Turned out to be cloudy all day hard and heavy rain started falling about 4:00 PM so when I got home it felt just as chilly. I had a bit of elm behind the furnace in the stack I keep there so split it into kindling and laid a 8 inch round on top of that fired up the torch and had a fire going in about 5 minutes. Let it roar for about a half hour then layed another 8 inch round on and choked it down,tite around 7:30 PM. House is nice and toasty this morning at 6:20 AM. I love my England 28 3500. Al
Damp and cool all week. 60's daytime and 50's at night I built the second fire of the season tonight. Some kindling and 5 splits. Starting to get toasty.
Not bad having a short fire Al. Don't know about the wind chills but we've had several mornings down in the 30's and have had several fires too. 36 this morning but we didn't start a fire and it's not bad in here. Looks to warm up this afternoon so we should be okay.
Same here...1st one yesterday, 2cnd today...nothing major, just a partial load of sticks and small stuff...1 small split of Pine in there today, boy that made the stove get HOT. After it burns down I'll just let the blower run on low the rest of the day. It hasn't been getting quite warm enough during the day here recently to be able to open the windows and gain temp in the house.
