    Just through 2 half chunks into the OWB. That'll hold it till tomorrow evening. The half chunks are cut-offs from a wood processor and range in length from 6" to 12" at the very best...but very rare. These two pieces were probably 8"-10" diameter. The stove is just idling as the blower on the furnace hasn't had to "kick on" dur to the warm and sunshine.

    Nice! Glad I didn't shut it down for 4-5 days.

    It’s 21* out and 72* in only added 4-5 pieces of spruce to the OWB, had enough from last night. I am loving the OWB even if it uses more wood, with the mess outside, I like it, wish I had got one years ago. Today we did 4 cords of spruce and had time for a sled ride. Now time for the buffalo burgers on the pellet grill to finish up.

    High 60s mid 70s during weekend. Too warm for my liking this time of year, especially when I'm sitting in the stand. Ive still been doing morning fires to take chill off.

    Another few days of mild weather here with highs of 57f/14c. It’s nice being able to save wood for the colder weather but it does feel that cold weather at this time of year is getting rarer.

    36F and rain. Its been around 70F and sunny for days? The forced air LP made the mistake of kicking on as I made coffee..... Noooo good I say!
    Just re fired the stove with Elm, Maple and dare I say...... Cottonwoodo_O
    Driest fuel I have ever loaded in this stove. This stuff has been SS and seasoning for 4+ years. Its truly amazing how nice and quick this stuff takes off, chars, and gets ready for a nice long burn setting. Feels like a blessing indeed to have a couple of cord of this stuff safely staged and ready.
