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

I hope you fellow hoarders are enjoying this holiday season.
It’s 26 here, heading to the high teens. I’m burning a couple pieces of bigtooth aspen on a sassafras/cherry coal bed.

 

Mild Christmas evening, mid 40s out.

Started things off with Eastern red cedar, red oak going in for overnight.

 

Merry Christmas, valued teammates!!

It’s 24 degrees here and snowing hard. A nice white Christmas. 73 in the house.

I’ve been burning Apple wood for the last couple nights (I know a guy). Good stuff. Burns ridiculously hot and Smells amazing.

Stay warm! -Love, Cash


Santa hooked me up!

 

Was at Mom's for a couple days. Kind of a white Christmas there.

Ridiculously mild temps until next week. Heading above freezing today, tomorrow, sat, sun and mon. Hopefully, I'll be filling a few pails of water and giving the vehicles a quick wash job as long as it is above freezing.

 

Cash How is bourbon? love apple wood; great heat, in coaling stage blue green flames. Smells nice

32 started a fire with Sourwood and Red Oak to knock the chill off.

 

6. Ash in the Wood Gun.

 

29/74 chestnut oak.

 

61 on the wall this morning when I got up.
15 outside.
2.5 hours later and we're at 68 and climbing.

 

Good stuff there Cash! I may drop by this afternoon!

 

40* early this am heading for 50*. I had left a couple of windows cracked north and south overnight. We had moderate S wind last night so the house was cooler than usual, around 58*, so after the fire had started well I threw in some very large and very dry Doug Fir bark. The house warmed up quickly!

 

Please do!

I love burning that big Doug Fir bark too! It actually burns for a long time.

 

32/70 ash and cherry.

 

17/76 was a great year
Black Locust

 

45/70. Had loaded just a small load this morning. Just getting some sycamore started now.

 

Wouldn't that be a hoot! Thank you kindly but I'll have to take a rain check. Just remembered the Learjet is in the shop for an oil change. I do have some Knob Creek Rye left so I'll make do and wish You and Yours "All the Best", from afar! I will throw another chunk of bark on in your honor!

 

Ha ha. Right on, brother. Knob Creek is good stuff too! I’ll toast to you and yours as well

That Doug Fir bark is an anomaly to me. I love the way it puffs up as it burns. I always tell people, it gets bigger as it burns!… for a while anyway. It puts out good heat too. A lot of the pine bark that’s left over after I’ve been splitting gets kicked into the woods. But I always save the Doug fir bark. It’s good btu’s!

 

Hey buddy!
The Buffalo Trace is very, very good. I tried it at a little bar in Denver during a fire department Christmas party earlier this month. My wife… eh hem… Santa must have noticed how much I liked it, and a bottle showed up on Christmas morning! I had a little bit last night. Holding off tonight. Maybe a little bit more tomorrow night.

The apple wood does put off crazy blue flames. I’m always mesmerized by that. I was enjoying the smell of it, as I was shoveling the decks last night. Great coals too.
