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

nailed it!

 

45 deg. here.....house was 64...figured I built a little take the chill off fire with some kiln dried white oak peices (small stuff)...works great for the situation.

 

Let the stove go cold yesterday morning. Made it up to 45 and only went down to 40 overnight so let the furnace take over. I was working on a rollable wood box and didn't want to get cooked out. Comfy when relaxing but down right hot when working near that thing.

Probably light it back up today as its 36 right now and temps are to drop all day down to the upper teens for tonight. Just have to put the fold down door on the front of the box and fill it up through the basement window and roll over to its resting place!

 

it looks like its actually going to get warmer after sunset this evening.

 

Just a touch above freezing now. Just. We already had the high temps for today.

Looks like a cooling trend throughout the upcoming week. Nothing much. Tonight will be in the teens.

 

A bit brisk out there this morning. Looking at -17 C, -24 C with the wind. Or 1 F feels like -11 F. Hope this isn't a sign of how our winter is going to be! Poplar feeding the reactor, with a few pieces of larch on standby.

 

Good morning saskwoodburner! We are about 7c warmer than yesterday morning. -10c/14f here at the moment. I woke up and found that Mrs Sean had loaded the stove with some spruce I grabbed a coffee and came and sat by the fire.

 

I could put about 10 pcs in my jotul f55

 

Lucky duck you are. I'm cursed with can't sleep much syndrome, so I'm last to bed, first to rise, so the only fire I see in the morning is coals.

 

That sucks. Even when Im heavily stressed I can sleep like a baby. Others in my family have a hard time sleeping as well.

 

Spent afternoon splitting and now burning 3 x 3 blocks I acquired ,and bone dry punky stuff from last year .
Now sprawled on sofa wi a cider and some spice

 

It's a blessing and a curse at the same time. By the time I'm 70, I'll really be 80!!! It's not so bad, the quality is there, just not the elapsed time. My body lets me know when I need more sleep anyways. I get kind of hellish if I only sleep 4 or 5 hours for too many days in a row.

 

Fire is out 60 °F , Thunderstorm just went through , Low tonight 41 °F

 

Welcome to da club bear 1998

 

Just looked at weather , clear sky's 2 c better get another log on

 

Your wife loading it up is a nice feeling eh? The lady here did the same thing just now. Snowing and blizzard like, 34-36 as wind fluctuations are happening right now. It was in the high 30’s this morning but warm house staved off the fire until my dog noticed I opened the window to the den...
The face on her said it all, “Fire it up Daddy”
