    I thought mine were echoing.........:D
    Started getting a slight coolness in here a couple hours ago, so I added 4 splits to the stove. Back up to 75 in here.
    Nice. Mebbe these creaky bones of mine will stop for a while.:rofl: :lol:

    Probably burned just about 1 cord by now, I've been burning the red oak lately but a couple of weeks ago I was still burning shoulder wood because the house was getting too hot! Got some hickory going tonight, smells great in here!! :thumbs:

    Looks like just under 2 full cords so far. Just about 1/2 way through our burn season and warmer temps are not too far away (I'm trying to be optimistic here).
    Hope to only use 4 cords this winter. That'll be nice, as some of the Oak I have for next year is a little bit questionable. I can maybe save that for 17-18', and use this leftover stuff next winter.
    The Ash I got last fall is burning pretty well after I let it sit near the stove for a couple hours. I put it in with dryer stuff.

    About 1 cord so far. Also burned a bunch of uglies at the beginning of burning season. All is good.

    I'd say we've hit a cord or a smidge over.
    Our smoke dragon hasn't been smoking like the neighbor's on the corner, getting a secondary burn with my addition of black pipe burn tube, but on-the-punky side Pecan and little better old Shag goes up pretty quick. Looking forward to next year's Osage and white/red oak!

    Had you considered putting the tube up higher in the firebox?

    Turns out replying to someone who doesn't add anything to their quote-bearing post won't show that I actually quoted you in my post. Make sense?
