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

Lit a fire last three evenings
have not needed an all day fire yet

and, oh

46F out
71F in

red oak

 

In the mid forties. Burning up a blowdown maple that I have finished chopping up . Was hoping for more useful wood from it bit at least it is just a trunk and rotted stump taking up space in the pasture

 

Since both my wife and I are home during the day, I will get a fire going in the morning when we get up and I may add wood once more, late morning. That will be it until the next day. When it gets cold, then I will be burning 24/7.

 

Currently 46 degrees after getting 1.30" rain today. No fires yet partially due to chimney getting damaged from a maple branch durning a windstorm we had.

 

Built a fire about 7:30 this eve. Had 63 inside so it was time. Currently 32 outside and predicting a temp increase rest of the night. Steady diet of chestnut oak in 21-24” length is keeping us warm. Up to 71 in the living room right now and just about ready for the evenings last reload.

 

74/40 windy and rainy out

 

Nice pic what settings are you using on your phones camera to get such crisp pictures?

 

Unfortunately, I’m unable to upload full size pics with this new(er) phone. These are screen shots of the original.



Sometimes I use the portrait setting, that's what these were taken with.

Guessing the quality won't be as great through yt, so if you can, select HD in the options (little gear). Had a neat swirl pattern going behind the front flame.

 

shoot! I hope its not to bad. Will you be able to be up and running before winter gets serious?

42 and I just heard the heat pump click so that means it’s 63 inside. Loaded up with white oak before I head out. There’s some sleet in the mountains.

 

36/66

 

Currently 41* and damp. Temps were in 30s this morning. Came in from treestand to a nice fire. Tossed some kentucky coffee tree and a few splits of BL to warm up.

 

26 early this morning, Black Cherry keeping us warm.

 

Only down to 45 tonight.
But it was a windy chilly wet day at work so we're burning overnight.
House at 62 on light up
Pine ash cherry black walnut tonight

 

Beautiful picture

 

I wonder if the temps on the sides of the stove are still within specs given that the heat shedding is much less like this?
I.e. are you not overfiring the sides by having your thermal mass that prevents much heat loss there? (Less convection and less net radiation)

 

75/45 spruce and sassafras currently burning.
