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

17/72 burning elm and sycamore cold night ahead with another cold day and night tomorrow before we see 40 on Sat. Deer chili simmering on the stove

 

17f with a load of 8YO locust and friends in the stove.

 

12/77 just got home from work looks like the wife reloaded with cherry and spruce.

 

24 wind chill 11 it is cold ash burning now and it is nice and toasty inside

 

I really like burning that combination.

 

It's a weird combination but works well straight blue flames and nonstop secondarys

 

29/73 - just reloaded for the night with a mix of black walnut, cherry and red oak.

 

Cherry by itself is kind of underwhelming in my experience. It burns with low flames, not a lot of heat and leaves piles of charcoal behind. But mixed with a hotter burning wood like spruce, pine, aspen, or ash, you get the best of both worlds. A hotter fire, some coaling and a more complete burn once the inferno dies down.

 

15 degrees here supposed to get down around 10. Black locust, red oak, maple and ash getting going for the overnight load.

 

12/75 reloaded with 4 year old BL and Shagbark. "Now witness the power of this fully operational battle station"

 

Totally agree I usually mix it with elm or red maple. If I burn just a big load of cherry even if really dry it'll dirty up my glass in no time.

 

Covering of snow again, just got a load of ash, elm and sycamore up to cruising speed....good night FHC

 

About 11 out. Mix of mulberry, some smaller hedge splits, white oak, and silver maple. Random pile of splits that were uneven lengths and not easily stacked

 

3° out it's not quite as cold as last night,
78° inside. Red oak and Honey locust in the quadrafire.

3 yr dried honey locust is the sweet spot for it. I reloaded yesterday and this am with all HL in the am. Tons of flames and very nice heat output

New blower arrived for the stove.

Furnace is quiet.

 

-33 tonight. I couldn’t believe the thermometer. It isn’t January yet! We watered the rabbits and their water bowls froze over in just a few minutes.

We are burning hard maple, oak, and locust.

 

26 white and red oak

 

Just took the dog out. It dropped to -42° F. Not a lick of wind, thankfully. Saw some rabbits out and about. The dog did his business and we came right back in. My Carhartt coat sounded like an empty plastic feed bag when I moved. I tossed some bigger chunks of oak in the stove. The house is 70°.

 

Straight White Ash. Up North we were fortunate again. 0” of snow. All stayed South of us.

 

17/72 and a lot less wind than yesterday. Black Locust

 

15f out gonna warm up to 29 today
Stove room at 56 for am reload.
Big big bed of coals today threw some fat chunks of ash and cherry on
