And collected this pallet's worth of deadfall just doing cleanup around the yard. Half a face cord by my estimate. I am going to miss Ash.
Mid 40's here. Quick fire to just knock the chill off and get rid of the dampness. Oak in the house and maple in the shop furnace today.
39 I think it may have been cooler overnight as temps were supposed to trend warmer before dawn today.
43, couple lumber scraps and punky oak burning. Spent yesterday working on the beech I hauled home. The middle was rotting and full of ants so I split that out and dumped it in the woods to rot away. Some split great, others split very wavy.
31 this am, still 70 inside after a fire last night with a colored packet the kids wanted to throw in. Buring punky oak, box elder, and other random wood from around the property.
34 Stinky ash. It may be a great firewood but I sure do detest the smell of it burning! And I've got a lot of it to burn. I did sell one trailer load of it a week or so ago though.
51, oak, maple, 2 sassafras branches. Mixed bag of odd cuts in the bottom of the last tote loaded in the trailer to sell. Decided I’d burn those myself and sell the nicer stuff. The new house cookstove firebox will fit all my chunks and uglies nicely so I’ll start to toss those in a tote separate.
I felt that way about cherry sometimes. The aroma of the heat vapor had a strange chemically sweet smell. Nice to burn, hated to be outside if it was burning inside.
Inside temps... mid 60s. Outside temps... lows... 30s to 40s. Just started burning for the season... mainly chunklies so far. No 24 Hour fires yet.
