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

High winds last night into today, 1st time I fired up the stove in over week. Burning some uglies and a bunch of limbs to take the chill out of the house, calling for lows in the mid to upper 30's this evening....

 

Cold outside today. No sunshine to help out either. Ended up with a little snow flurry activity, just enough to collect on the ground.

Sunday, Mon, and Tue are full of wet heavy snow forecast.

 

It about 28 out. Had snow overnight. About an inch and a half. Sun peeked out for a min. Then the snow is back.

 

Well, still burning as the colder temps want to stick around.

A few days ago I let the stove go cold for 2 days. Then alternating with rechooching at night and letting it go out and just restoking on any coals at night. Now for the next week or so it will probably be all day or most of the day burns with highs in the 40's and down to 25 a couple nights.

It will be pretty much all silver maple being burnt from here on out. That's how I stacked it on the patio. I could steal from next year's stack that has a ton of ash in it if I need more coals than silver maple provides. I always have a few splits of high BTU wood inside of I seem it necessary. Ironwood, apple, hickory, silver maple, and honey locust...

It's a fine line this time of year between warm, cold, too hot, and windows open.

 

We’re up to 41 now, and just threw some cherry splits in the furnace downstairs. Yesterday was even colder. Can’t trust that spring weatherThats alright! We got something to take that chill off, right?

For about 3 days it was so nice out, even at night I didn't even mess with the OWB and let it die out. The sunshine coming through the house windows kept it nice in the house. It got fired back up the other day tho and will be prob tell the end of April from the way it's looking.
I wish I had some SS wood to burn but I am still burning a mix of oak and maple.

 

After not burning for the better part of the week it’s back down to 30 so I’m getting some ash and cherry started

Warm and sunny days - during the night still sorta cold.

Burned Pine and a little Oak this morning.

 

29 right now....Loaded the stove last night with a mix of oak, ash and maple. I have maybe 1/6th of a cord left in the indoor wood bin. Been hesitant to toss more in, I want to clean out the bark and debris, and keep it empty for the summer. Right now I just loaded the stove with little chunkies. Still have about 1/4 a cord left of them that I want to get rid of.

 

-3c/26f here and gonna actually be sunny today so we plan on splitting outback and elm still brewing in the box.

 

31 right now. Bright sun for the sunrise. Bad weather is supposed to start tomorrow.

 

27 or so this morning. The fire went out in the Wood Gun. So the bubbling goo took over. Fire now restarted and there is Ash, Pine, and Beech in there.

 

29 here early.... Burnin Cherry and Silver maple today.

 

30 when I got up. Feel asleep last nite before the reload. 63 in .
Loaded some slab wood on coals and a big chunk of maple. Topped off with some punky spruce and pine and about 10 shovels of chips and bark .
Brought in about a cord of old spruce rounds a week ago to block off under the smoke dam in boiler. They are drying of nicely.

 

Couldn’t find a thread that was relevant so as Uk is shutdown I’m sat in garden photographing stars wi a laaarrrgggeee glass a jd .
Hope everyone’s keeping safe

-15c/5f right now under clear skies. Larch in the super 27. It will warm up again in a few days. On my sunniest garden which is up against the house and south facing I noticed the hard neck garlic was just breaking through the soil. The opposite end of the yard is frozen ground and snowy lol.

 

Yesterday was a nice spring day with temps into the upper 40's!

31 at the moment but by noon-ish, the day is supposed to take a dump weather wise.

We'll have three overnights in the low teens this coming week. OK with that, I'll light off the kicker stove in the basement and burn up some leftover wood!
