21/72 just loaded up for the evening with a 50/50 mix of black locust and oak. Coal bed was a bit thicker than typical so I only fit 2 of each.
I had to do a hot cleanout this morning. Been burning 24/7 for for a bit. 20/65 this 6 am. Loaded up with N/S red Oak 23/69 now. Nice and sunny outside!
44F out, didn't need a fire during the day, got one going just before sunset. Random bits of oak, tulip poplar, and cherry. Might be too much for these mild temps. Happy New Year!
31/71 burning ash and cherry in the Buck. Snowing steady for most of the afternoon and evening, small flakes so only have maybe 4 inches. Down to 11 overnight, have some big ash splits and a little hickory on deck.
Well . We had a good day yesterday. Got water pumped and hauled . Plowed out the subdivision and homestead. Got some other things done . I was holding out hope that I could go to the woods this morning. Nope. That ain't happening Spruce short butt chink doing the daytime burn . Birch for the overnight.
8/71° 2026 Fir and honey locust in the quadrafire. Total yin and Yang in the stove but it's happy and we are too.
-2f with the windchill 71 inside about to do a hot clean out and fire back up with some white oak. We shall not talk about last night's game. I knew it from the first few minutes
18/68 burning the last of the white oak for now. Brought up a tote yesterday and I think it’s mainly red oak from a 12” branch that was caught up in some trees so long the bark fell off. Pulled it out and split and stacked it. I burned some in the fall and it burned very well! Happy New Years!
Not a buckeye fan but was rooting for them. I can't stand anything Miami U when it comes to football. Especially the current coach. Then they kept panning to a couple of biggest jacka$$es that played football, rat lewis and irvin. 22 and oak
6/68 it's snowing again and it looks like a gentle snow globe. Burning Box Elder and Maple that was dropped in our backyard January 10th 2023. It was split and cross stacked soon after that.
I can’t fathom 54 below zero. I’m 67 years old and the coldest I’ve ever seen in Wisconsin was 28 below zero. The diesel milk truck I was driving gelled up.
