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

47. Dog woke me up way early so lit a nice fire. Aspen taking the chill off.

 

Well, it's that time of year again.

A few cedar scraps from the mill to get it going then a mixture of slab wood.
Not too bad at 45 here so just enough to take the chill off.

 

58 at 5:15 this morning. Still haven’t had a first fire for the season. I typically try to hold off until Halloween at least, so I guess I made it. Waiting for a couple soap stones for the stove. When they get here I’ll take it apart, install them and new gaskets and a couple other parts. Cleaned the chimney a couple weekends ago.

 

Temps in the 30’s overnight. 63 inside so I lit up a full firebox full of chestnut oak this morning.

Rainy, chilly, breezy Sunday. Tulip poplar keeping the damp out.
