    Low teens at the moment letting the coals burn down so I can shovel out the ashes. Then go back to mostly poplar.

    Current temp -3°F only going down a few more degrees until sun-up. Stove loaded, house should stay in the low 70s overnight.

    18 deg. Added some Elm & Basswood to the coals, Once she got going put the Cherry on top for the mornings heat. If anyone out there doesn't have a bellows to bring coals to with kindling, get one. You won't regret it.

    Anyone old enough to remember Johnny Carson and his "How XXX was it" routine.....

    Johnny Carson: It was really cold last night.
    Audience shouts: How cold was it.
    Johnny Carson: It was so cold we were throwing wood into the stove so fast, we almost got a pet!


    Those are not all splits.JPG

    It warmed up a bit here into the high 20's overnight, going into the 30's today. I let the stove run out of fuel and cool down in preparation of modding the new radiator. Will post photos of that in the Ideal Steel thread.

    Man, central heat is just not making the trip. It is not 'cold' in the house but it is far from comfortable too.

    supposed to get down below zero by Christmas with single digit highs. After Christmas it starts getting cold with daytime temps below zero. We are still a long way from reaching record cold temps for the next week or so.

    I had a fire going mid morning to mid afternoon. Comfy in here. Rainy but here’s the outlook for the next few days...not like we’re breaking records but that’s a pretty cold stretch around here. Definitely getting the heavyweights back in the bin soon.

    57 now. Oak going in the stove. Maybe ash. Going to to dial in a long slow burn on the catalytic High Valley 2500. Probably open up a door or two to some colder rooms of the house to soak up extra heat
