    Yup. Typical fall burning. Heat the house and then cool it a bit too. Ask My IS heats my home about how to do that! :rofl: :lol:

    In a case when your in Michigan in the springtime, at a friends house, and you friend wants to keep himself and his guests warm...you open the sliding glass door. Warm to him is 80 deg. Fun fun

    How much do you have stacked up in there? I have about a cord in my basement bin ( 6' x 6' x 6') and was wondering how long it will last. You say that will last you 4 to 5 months in AK?

    4+ cord
    So far, it's been above avg temps
    May make all burn season (thru April) if it stays above avg.
    Though; "Solar minimum " periods typically result in cold Winters, we'll see.
