Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

I'm starting to pump the heat to the house before the cold snap hits, we have six splits going in the liberty and I decided to turn the pellet stove on.

It's 77 in the basement (where the stoves R) and a nice 73 up here.

It's 19 out tonight.

 

9* right now, I just crammed the box with ash and beech.

 

2 degrees with howling winds (15 to 25 mph) out of doors, hi of 12 degrees tomolly.,, currently 70 degrees indoors.
That Hungry Monster out back is happily burning 2 kinds of hickory, ash, locust and cherry.

 

You had me instantly jealous until I read the rest of it. Its -23c/-9.5f right now but were on a warming trend from what Ive been seeing on the weather forecast and we know they are always right! Im burning through a bit of pine in anticipation of a larch load for overnight. I was gone much of the day and early evening so the furnace had to do some of the work. Stove room is nice and toasty though.

 

Still at 9*. the wife is having cataract surgery this morning . I will be stoking the stove tight with whatever I can fit through the door, I am sure it will be a mix of beech and ash with a small chance of cherry.

 

16 degrees here. Ash and Elm gassing and roasting.

 

21 and windy, big ash and locust going in the oslo real soon, 5:24 a.m. eastern standard time

 

A scorching 2* this morn'n with high winds and good ole lake effect snow that I get to drive into this morn'n, the ole wood-burner stuffed with ash......

 

Good luck to your wife.

 

The winds started howling last night. Supposed to really crank up around 10am. 27° but tomorrow's high will be 23°. Lookin' in the stacks for oak.

 

8 here with a 25+ wind jammed the Lopi with ash went out and plowed the 6"-20" of snow depending on where the drifts were and came in ate breakfast while sitting on the stove warmest place in the house! Oh and it's 72 inside

 

10
Windy
Fresh 6-8" of white crap
Schools closed
Unplugging the block heater on the workhorse.
Not going anywhere today ! BOOM!
Smorgasbord of hardwood and COAL in the Woodchuck.

 

Lucky!!!!!
I'm getting ready to go be out in it for the day and possibly the night

 

Yikes!

 

Yep
I pay dearly 10 months out of the year . 10-14 hour days 7 days a week.Maybe 4 Sunday's off a year. Dec and Jan are my slow months.
There's work on the list but nothing that needs done . I'll tackle permits and paperwork today. Better days are coming.

 

Stoke the stove put on the coffee and have a good day off or at least inside!

 

Now it is getting fun. Currently 3 F with gusts to 25 . 68 F inside burning a load of red and white oak. Loaded last night at 9:30 pm @ 70 F, reloaded this morning 6:00 am @ 67 F. We like it on the cool side (69-72), but on mornings like this I would love to magically install a PH or IS and let it rip. Should get some nice solar gain today as it looks quite clear. Hope everyone is enjoying this cold as much as I am.

 

Was only able to get 7 splits of Oak and Maple in the 30 last night, and the house was 63 this am at 7:30am. 45 minutes later and we're back to 66, but this may take a couple minutes to get back up to at least 70.
About 6 small-medium splits of Oak/Maple into the stove before I even got the 1st cup of coffee.
Oh, it's 10 OAT, going to 16.

 

2 degrees with -10 windchill. looking for a hi of 12 today.
Days like today remind me I need 1/2 a dozen new windows. 68 indoors and the owb pipes are plenty hot!
