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

I can contest to that! I have 4!!!!

 

10° out and dropping. We're breaking records for low temps. But it's warm inside, with the furnace quiet. My wood stove is 675°. Back hall is 67°, t-shirts and shorts in the family room probably mid 70's in the stove/ living room.


This is all ash.

 

After a late afternoon run, I started the Wood stove to get the chill out of the house. I’ve been burning a mix of Black Cherry and Red Oak seasoned for nearly 3 years in my wood shed. 73 inside the home, 21 outside. Very comfortable.

 

Getting down to 22 here in the Deep South tonight. This is the strongest cold front I can ever remember in mid-November. I’m burning Live Oak and Red Oak.

 

Was 61ºF this morning, almost that at noon.
30ºF right now with some pine in the stove.
Will put some oak in in about a half hour.

 

15 right now but it says it feels like -1 with chill!

That's unusually cold for early November! I sure hope fall comes back before we get into these temps permanently.

Not sure what exactly is in the OWB but I loaded it up full and bumped the temp up to 180! She's cranking.

 

It’s already 8F outside. The low was suppose to be 8 overnight. We may get to 0 at this rate.

The new ceramics in the Wood Gun are making it run very nicely. I just loaded it up with Beech.

 

25* os...71*is....temps are still fallin....noaa states 15*s for a low tonite......just threw in 2 split of oak...ill load her up before eye eye time...

 

Wow, you guys are getting damm cold early!!!

We are abnormally warm right now, and dry. In the low 70s still but maybe a chance for showers and 40s next week with low 20s... Those numbers would still be a heat wave for your weather right now.....!!!

 

Nice fire! Silly question... I see most people on here say they are burning cherry. Is that cherry, like the fruit cherry tree? Are there really that many cherry trees where you guys live? Do they grow wild near you guys? Most people on here seem to think cherry is mid-level firewood. I cut down an old dead cherry tree on my parents ranch a few years ago. It burned great! Smelled great and put out a lot of heat.

 

Black cherry, or wild cherry.
Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) - Learning Stations at Ariel Foundation Park

 

Interesting. I don’t think we have those in Colorado. People have cherry trees in yards and on farms out here, but they are a more traditional cherry tree.

 

Choke Cherry is what we've called them. Birds love them & they're like giant weeds. Fast growers & season quick if cut in Autumn or Winter. Really great smelling fire wood.
14F here, & partly cloudy. Wind died down & it's another nice night. 6" of nice snow makes it really bright out. Today was partly sunny, while just 20 miles west they got hammered with 16" + of lake effect. Oak in the boiler.

 

We have Choke Cherry here, but it's only around creeks, and the trunk is maybe 6 inches at its thickest. The bears, Jay's, and Grouse love its fruit, but it's not plentiful for a fire wood supply.

 

We have choke cherry bushes all over Colorado too. But they are a bush, not a tree here.

 

Yeah, some people call black cherries choke cherry here but they're not choke cherries. Maybe because horses might choke on them ? Who knows.
The birds love the tiny black cherries when the ripen, you can tell by all the purple splatters all over anything parked under a tree or wire. The tent caterpillars prefer the leaves.

 

Like my white shiny truck. I had to move from my favorite work parking spot for a while.

 

We had about 3 inches of snow this afternoon, currently its -8c/17f and I have a slow lazy spruce fire going. Im trying not to over heat the house. Ill probably do a big load of spruce or lodgepole before bed instead of my overnight wood of larch. Its looking like we are headed for a very mild week of temps up to 9c/48f which kind of sucks but at least Ill be saving on wood. We will see, often the weather guessers are wrong.

 

18f and burning back yard downed oak limbs. Ya look dry but burn like they are wet.
