    Cold here in south central WI, 3 degrees going down to -10 tonight, burning splits of red oak with a mix of soft maple, the house is a comfortable 78 degrees :thumbs:fairly new to the group and enjoying reading all the good stuff on here and seeing all the people that share my passion for cutting splitting and burning wood! I grew up with wood heat, dad always said firewood warms you 4 times, when you cut it, when you split it, when you stack it and when you put it in the stove.:yes::yes:

    Mid 20's here, we just got a couple or 3" of snow. Mid teens tonight, burning sticks and Oak pallet runners. House is real warm and stove has lots of coals, so my fire is actually a small one.

    Welcome Kevin WI like you say... being around like minded folks lets you know youre not completely crazy :loco: :crazy: Its 29 now for us, man I cant remember the last time it was this warm! Its nice for a change. Burning a bit of lodgepole as usual but not stuffing the stove full, if I did I would be roasted out!

    Same here. I have to get some bucking and hauling done this weekend. I'll suck it up, whatever it is.

    It's 2° out now, heading to minus whatever. I'm burning shagbark hickory and I could care less about OAT.

    papadave , I'd like to see a picture of the roof rake in action if you feel like taking a picture. Don't know how I would rake my house if we were in a snow belt - two story home with too many valleys; the rake would need to be 50 feet long for me to reach the peak from the ground.
