    Just lit it up a couple minutes ago. One piece of ash, one cherry and a piece of oak. I guess I'll add a couple more oak splits to carry me through the morning. Not awful cold tonight in Northern kentucky, about 30 to 33. Just happy to be back on the burn again.

    The firebox is loaded with Larch so I can get a nice overnight burn in the 27. Stove top is cruising at 675. When I'm outside I can hear the neighbors high efficiency furnace kicking on and off. Frost most mornings now.

    Started up the stove last night. Have a larger percentage of uglies & odd sizes and shapes this year. It gets fun trying to fit as many as possible in for a load.

    I imagine many of us are burning now and will be quite regularly for the next 5 months or more.

    Well, I finally hit it lastnight, enough to get those dust bunnies burnt out, cause I figured this morning I'd want to warm up a bit. With a cup of coffee in hand it sure does feel nice....:coffee:

    Burned a few times to break the stove in. Getting closer for the real thing. Funny, I do enjoy the stove and heat, but it is a lot of work.

    Got my first fire of the season going this morning to knock the chill off. Nice heavy frost this morning.

    Just a few pieces of hackberry and a piece of cherry. Should last until lunchtime and I'll let it go out.

    They're calling for 20's this weekeend so I'm sure I'll be lighting up again soon.
