    This is the latest "first fire " I've ever had. And it'll be 75 tomorrow. I could have comfortably waited another 2-3 days before the cold front hits.


    My name is Mike, and I'm a hoarder.

    I’d like to speak to the manager about why it’s warmer in Vermont.

    33 f and dropping to 25f by 5PM with strong winds.

    So far a small fire with three splits of birch is doing the trick.

    I threw in a Black Locust chunk cut in May 22 a little bit ago for a test run. Nice blue flames.

    32*. Just got the morning started with more kentucky coffee tree. Next week it looks like we won't get out of the 30s. Will have to bring in some big guns, these kentucky coffee tree splits aren't going to cut it.
