It's officially over 20° here for the first time in weeks it appears.

Burning a bit too long split of box elder angled into the stove to fit, over a bunch of ash coals from last night.

I'll let it go chooch valve open until we go out for dinner. Then I'll reload with some box elder and ash.

Welcome to FHC!

If the picture is over 8 megs, it won't load. Take a screenshot or crop to get it at 8 mp or less and it'll work.

 

18 oak 6-8” of snow on top of the ice pack from last Sunday and still snowing. We need emergency milk, egg ,bread and ice melt deliveries. I told my wife to sell our snow sleds for a Benjamin per.

 

15F going down to around 10. Burning oak after cutting up storm damage all afternoon.

 

-6 outside right now just reloaded with some ash and white oak. Both racks on the deck are basically empty so that will be the first chore tomorrow.

 

5/71 Shagbark

 

9/68, oak with some cedar and pine trim kindling. I have to bring a tote of wood up today for us and a tote for the neighbor. Started with 19 totes for the winter and I think we are down to 7 left.

 

4 / 68 haven't loaded up yet, but there's oak and ash awaiting their turn.

 

Huh we didn’t get above zero til daylight and another inch of snow
Burning dry wood yellow birch and maple

 

10 feels like (-3). 70 in stove room. Took dogs out at 530 and reloaded with BL. Room wss 58*. Thats the cycle. I don't run the stove blower overnight because it cools stove down too much. Get up, room is cold, upstairs is warm...er. Get the stove back up to temp and turn blower on. House gets warm in short order.

Fighting frostbite on my buff orpington rooster. He has a huge comb. He's gonna loose some of it, but I won't tell him yet.

If Phil sees his shadow tomorrow...I have some lead pills for that rodent!

 

5/59. Cold stove. I’m the first one up. Just loaded with 7 year dried Red Oak. Prob 11-13%. Starts up with just a few pieces of paper.. Should warm up nicely.

 

16 and climbing. Supposed to hit 40 today which means all this snow will turn into mud.

16/64. Red oak warming things up.

Already up to +24 at 943 and heading towards 44 for the high. Will be working in bathroom tearing up multiple layers of vinal to see what the subfloor looks like, fingers crossed it's not as bad as I fear.
