    Still bouncing around the freeze/thaw mark, with the added bonus of rain. That's an oddity here, but should turn to snow n ice later. Pine in the reactor same as always.

    We were at 11* this am, since we were going to run out for errands, we fired up the pellet stove. I will be transitioning over to wood shortly.

    Took 1/2 day off, came home to a small bed of coals. Spread them out a little and loaded the firebox with newspaper/apple shavings bricks.

    A friend had his land logged for white pine, they left the Red Oak. I am getting that.

    Gone most of the day getting things, and getting things done. Anyway, got back an hour ago to 18* out, and 55* in. Maple and Ash are already kicking the thermometer in the butt.

    Burning around the clock.

    Red oak and a piece of black locust overnight.

    Red maple and ash during the day. If running out to do errands, a piece of oak goes in before we leave.

    Upper 50's forecasted for this Sunday. Looks to be a good time to give the stove a nice cleaning.

    54 and windy here. Finally got all the silver maple burned...moved on to some RR tie (untreated) cut-offs. I'll be burning that, probably until spring.

    Still pretty decent up here, few degrees below freezing all day, and might hit -9C/16F overnight. Average highs and lows for here this time of year are 14F to -4F but lots of times colder. I'll take it. Pine and more pine in small doses today.
