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

Woke up to -23 this morning. No new snow and not much wind at all.

 

We had 11.4 this morning with another load of beech going in the Liberty.

 

4F here this morning, got to 24 today, so that felt good! Light wind. Been burning an Oak & Ash mix. Pulled two stone cold cars from outside & the heaters ran for 25 min straight. Boiler kicked on at 170 & burned for 3 hrs. straight to maintain temp. Gonna try Rope 's "wall method" to see what happens.

 

Oh my! It's 30* and 4" snow coming overnight. It's Feb. Stop freakin' out over winter!
Freakin' snowflakes!

 

I positioned my OWB so the only an east wind (not very common) would have any affect on the burn while the draft damper is open.

And even then, it is situated so the storage shed would break the east wind and get it confused enough to not have much of an affect on the burn rate. The shed is probably 20' or so away.

14 years at this location and the largest factor affecting the burn rate would be the sustained sub zero temps.

 

We hardly get wind to speak of here at the house, but walking up the front sure slows down the natural draft that the louvers 3rows of 4 that below the auto draft. That lower section is free to move air, so I whooo it down a bit, works here for me, helps the spruce last.

 

13* at the moment. Going down to -3* overnight. 71* in with Ash.

 

It's 6.6 tonight with a load of ironwood going in the wood stove.

 

23 with high teens expected by dawn. Ash and black locust doing the bull work with mimosa lending a few BTUs to the overnight haul.

 

38 F burning Lodgepole. Supposed to get snow tomorrow.

 

21° and snowing. Wouldn’t have known it except the plow passing by woke us up. Going down to 9° overnight.

 

Was -12* when I left the house and saw between -8* and -22* on the commute. Left some spruce in the OWB to keep everyone a warm.

 

6 here this morning. Just put some Elm and White Pine in the Wood Gun.

 

-32 right now and have not hit the low yet. 9 mph wind so its feeling like -54 outside. ppffffttt!

Hey Rope ! Do me a favor and look out yer window to see if it looks like somehow a yooper moved in next door? Might be an unexplained time warp and another dimension or something.....

 

Howdy neighbor!

 

-4F and 63F. Cranked up the stove fans with 2 additional Elm splits for coal melting. Feels wonderful. Single digits above and below for highs, and down to teens below zero for lows for days to come.
Finally burning the last of my cord and a half stash of mixed hardwood that was just outside my back door. 2/3 of a cord of predominately Elm is up next on my front porch.
Stay warm everyone.

 

We had a low of 3.9 this morning, more beech in the Lopi.

 

-35 this morning low. I'm burning half loads every 4 hours to keep the coaling down and for a more even heat.
