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

Morning ya'll, I have 11* here, and fired up the coals from last night with some bark and splitter chips using the bellows. If any of you don't have/use a bellows to bring those red coals to life, you are missing out, you'll have flame in a minute. Anyway, I've been using said bellows for decades and decades. Right now I'm burning Maple.

 

Upper 30's to low 40's and windy.
Gonna' feed the Greedy Hungry Beast a pile of doady maple, good weather for burning junk wood.

 

Looking at -17 C ( 2? F) at the moment. That was a surprise. Burning poplar.

 

We had -5 this morning but I just started our first fire, the temps hit 25 today.

 

11 degrees here this am, about coldest its been the winter. Filled the stove with with ash and got her burning came home 10 hrs later outside temps were 28 indoors was 60. HHO just kicking on at 60, filled her back up again with ash now at 73 and cruising nicely . Don't care about outside temp until we do it all again tomorrow . Keep your ash warm.

28* and cruising along with a load of locust and ash. And snowing.

 

Heading to 9 tonight, we'll throw in some wood in the Liberty and then set the P.S., on 78.

We only burned about a quarter of a bag of pellets last night.

 

Winter came back, -19 C feels like -28 C. Or about 0 F feels like -18 F. Poplar and pine.

 

You're throwing out a lot of numbers there, I'm hoping there isn't gonna be a surprise quiz.

 

Not at all lol I just don't think in F, and I'm sure my neighbors to the south don't think in C.

 

I actually keep a temperature conversion table open all most all the time so I can make quick translations for our southern brethren. You and I grew up on celsius and I still have troubles making my brain make the switch to the other one. Shouldn't 0 always be freezing?

 

I was wondering today if the coldish air had hit you yet. We are -12c at the moment and Im getting ready to load the stove with the same thing I load it with every night for 5 months a year near bed time (larch). Weve been very mild the last 4 days with highs of 4c and lows of -1c so its nice not to have to baby the stove loads.

 

Looks like 12ish this morning. Ash and Maple in the boiler.

 

25* and when it gets a bit lighter I will head out and feed the gaping maw of hell. I think I seen locust and ash in the pile screaming at me to be sacrificed to the btu gods.

 

My mercury thermometer has both scales on it, Farenheit on the left, Celcius on the right. So I'm good, besides half of my family is from Quebec, and we're only a few hours away from there, so we are used to C. here.

 

It's time for the Hooterville weather update. Not the resturaunt, Think "Green Acres". 22 deg. and light snow falling, putting another 2" on the 4" we had. The wife burned hard last night so the house was still real warm at 70 and the stove was full of coals. Threw some Maple and Walnut on, Walnut being not common around here. It is a rare treat to get and burn as it is something different.

 

It looks like Winter. We got a couple inches of snow yesterday.
thirty six degrees eff outside . Oak and mystery wood in the wood stove.

 

Upper 30's trying to spit snow, sleet, rain. Loaded up some junk maple and elm last nite, should be the last of the junk wood going in today.

 

Mmm lets see.
0c is freezing.
0f is below 0c, so it is freezing.
0k is WAY below those, so it is freezing.
Anyway I look at it, 0 is freezing.

 

You got that right, much easier not babysitting the stove like when it's warm out.
