It was around 5 last night and we woke up to 12 outside. Real heatwave. Headed to upper 20 today and getting warmer the next few days. We might have another day with overnight temps below zero this week.
Oak in the Lopi.

 

16/73 elm

 

2c/35f and pouring rain. We still have snow but its getting eaten up quickly. It seems that much of the cold air this year has been staying to the east of the southern Canadian Rockies. Its been a long time since I recall it being this warm in December. We havent burned for a few days now. I took apart the PE yesterday and the blaze king is being installed now.

 

It’s a nasty tree for many reasons including the smell. Last year I cut down a few monster tree of heavens that were dead standing due to lantern flies. Thankfully the stink was gone!

 

Thats wonderful ! That you get a new Bkaze King that is . Which model ?
Sucks about the rain though !

 

But , at least you don't have to shovel the rain !!!

 

Current temp 12/15/25 5:15 pm.

26F out. Oak.

 

I flippin' hate shoveling H2O that is frozen! The year before last, gave up pushing it around with a 1 ton, no thank you!

 

Currently 33 degrees out heading to 23 degrees for the night. Locust in the stove keeping us toasty warm.

 

18/75. Fed the firebox all my floor scraps from throwing splits into the basement, then reloaded for the night. All chestnut oak. This load marked the end of my first full row in the basement.

18/77 white oak doing the work

 

19/70 tulip poplar and sycamore. Black locust staged up for the reload later.

 

20 right now. Heading to 40.

Winds began early this morning once again. Somethings got to move those warmer temps up here, no?

 

We are above freezing for the first time in a while, and going to stay that way until Thursday night. All the snow should melt off and make a lot of mud.

Burned some cardboard boxes in the boiler this morning. I try to save them up and get a raging hot fire every so often to clean things out. I'll load it up with whatever is closest to the door this evening.

 

14 this morning, 28 now.A friend who is a part time carpentry instructor at a local high-school brought over 25+ 5 gallon buckets of DF cut offs earlier today; these are doing a great job of keeping us warm. They are 6-9% according to my moisture meter & belting out BTUs!

 

We purchased the Princess 32. Im doing lots of learning right now. Its a lot different from my Pacific Energy stove. My first full burn was last night at 14 hours on a half load of larch.
