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

I'll have to dig that MSU study up again. I think the time needed at that temp was not that long. Where the EAB is from, it simply doesn't get that cold.

 

Heres a photo I took a few minutes ago out a side window in my living room. A beautiful but crisp day! Its warmed up to -27c/-16.5f. Doug fir heating the house.

 

I was talking to my dad this morning he was asking how much would we are burning. I did the math and came out with 220 SF in a month at this rate

 

You may be right. I cannot find the link to that study. There's a few dead links out there now. Sure makes it hard to find that excellent read.

 

It's sitting at -22 C feels -25 C or -7 F feels -12 F for the time being, warmest it has been in 9? days I think. I was wondering why the wood was keeping up and the oil furnace went silent.

 

-25C tonight. Our town's putting on a fireworks display. I hope they enjoy it
I'm not burning anything. My Jotul 602 is used to heat the sunroom which has 6' vinyl sliding windows on 3 sides. When it gets below -15C it has trouble keeping up, so we don't bother.

 

Got up to 16F here with sun & very light wind for a couple hours, burnt down coals with some Silver Maple & cleaned the ash box. Nice to have that done, also replaced the coupler on the splitter that broke last week. Will wait till later to re load with Ash & Oak. Back down to -5 they say. We ain't freezing nor starving, so it's all good. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! BE SAFE.

 

It never left the south side of zero today.
Did warm up to -6 though...and had sunshine.

 

6 with a real feel of -11. Got this lineup for the next reload.


Shorties of you tell me. Wow I'm burning up a lot of wood this year.

 

2 above heading for 10 below with a steady north wind. Stove loaded with enough hedge to get to geosynchronous earth orbit and pro-pain boiler is on standby.

 

Someone was talking about the nuclear button, I found these...

 

Getting colder early. This was at 8PM


We may actually see -20 overnight.

 

minus 8 now winds picking up, IS is trying stove room is 79.. It's cold out there.

 

-14; feel is -35. Crapping wind anyway.

 

3° with a feel of -°5. 69° in the house... 90% of what I've used this year has been ash.

We had a mild winter last year, and I was really hoping I would only go through about 5 cords of wood on average in the new home. I think 7 or so will be more accurate. Kind of depressing, but I don't know what else to do about it. I know my wood burning is saving me a couple thousand a year, no doubt.

 

-5 and the Bills are in the playoffs !!!

 

0* and predicted to just go negative. Heavy winds though and they are sucking the heat out of the house. The heat pump kicked on yesterday morning at 67* inside temp. I expect it to be running when I wake up. Red Oak, hickory, and ash are loaded in the stove. Happy New Yea, good night, and stay warm.
