    I loaded the Liberty with some nice Cherry, it was 21 degrees this morning. Looking at the weather report, things will get much colder starting on Wednesday night.

    It looks like the lows at night will be around 3 degrees thru Saturday, not too bad.

    Yeah we have a propane fired baseboard system that was sizes for the house with single pane windows and very little insulation. House now has insulated windows and improved insulation. It will heat the chit out of the place at -30* and cost a small fortune in the process. 200k BTU!!!!! I turned it on before I left.

    Boy the wind was whipping today. I stood outside for about 15 minutes today talking with another employee as they sat in their vehicle, no hat on. Got back in mine and my ear hurt so bad it had my jaw hurting. We have about 20º here now and I am ready to load up for the night. Expecting around 12º by morning.

    Right where I want to be.
    We're within a ° of our high of 13° today. Woohoo!
    House is just over 70 with a full load of Maple in anticipation of leaving the house for a few hours.
    That didn't happen, so I'm just watching the fire and thinking of having another cup of coffee.:thumbs:

    We had 10 degrees this morning with some wind, still burning the Cherry, 72 in the basement this morning, 68 upstairs.

    I'm still saving most of the Sugar Maple and Beech planned for this heating season for the colder weather,(-10 to -30), or until the boss gives me the orders.

    Back porch thermometer says 0° this morning. The boiler went through a full load of White Ash from 9pm to 6:30 am. A good, thick bed of red hot coals waiting for the next load was there. I put a few larger splits in last night.

    12/12/2013 Not much wind.

    Here's the gauge. The Stove is nicely full of coals I'll let burn down some more, I put a big azz Oak split right in the middle of the load last night, and a pretty good sized oak split toward the back. I'm not buring the junk now that shoulder season is gone at least for now. This is two year old oak, mainly hardwood.

    I've got the VC going downstairs, that will be ashes and a couple small coals. If I'm lucky a little kindling, and a supercedar chunk will revive it.
