    This will be the coldest night so far this year. Supposed to get down to about 6. This is the most wood I've had in this girls belly. First year with her.
    BL and white oak.

    Yea
    But you talk Celsius &
    with an accent ......eh?

    6°f = -14.4° to you

    LOL :)
    Who would want to use a temperature scale based on 0° being where water freezes ?? ??
    You want to use logic eh?

    A whole 1 degree at 10 am here.. Going to warm up to 21 today, then into the 30's with a rainy mix Sunday and Monday then back to below zero at night again Monday and Tuesday... Farmers Almanac was right, colder then normal . I forget what the snow forecast said, I thought it was above normal snowfall...

    It only got down to 9 last night.
    Reloaded around noon. Plenty of coals left.
    I wish I would have kept track of the temps throughout the night.
    Fan set at about 1/3. Tstat set between the first and second dot.
    I suspect temps stayed around the 500 degree mark for a good portion of that 16 hour burn.
    I know for a fact it was around 500 from 830 till 230 when I went to bed. After that I lost track.
