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

Sorry about the late response. I'm in the industry here so I have my pick of whatever wood customers don't want or have a use for. Let me tell you people here have no idea what they're giving away imho.

Soft woods - Alligator Juniper, Arizona Cypress, Shaggy Bark Juniper, Deodar Cedar, Douglas Fir and a couple chucks of Arbor Vita
Hard Woods - Apple, Apricot, Arizona Ash, Cottonwood, Choke Cherry, American Elm, Siberian Elm, Honey Locust, Black Locust, Purple Robe Locust, Silver Maple, Mulberry, Mountain Mahogany, Emory Oak, Arizona White Oak, Gambel Oak, Plum, Peach, Pear, Sycamore and Black Walnut.

Our temperature swings are unlike most areas, today it went from 10.8f to 39.9f . That is the norm here, winter or summer. 30 to 40 degree shifts are normal. It's best to wear layers.
It's good to hear you visited Arizona and had a great time. You should see the northern part of the state, I think you'd like it. Here's a sappy video, it's funny but true.

 

Currently sitting at -21 C feels -31 C, or -5 F feels -23 F. We'll see -40 C/F in feels before morning apparently. Stove chugging away with poplar.

 

I didn't rechooch this am as I wanted to let it mostly go out to clean out ashes. It got up to like 46° today, so the best day to do this anyway.

I've got elm and some dry mystery wood in the quadrafire going nicely now. 34° now. Going to drop to under freezing and make all the standing water into ice.

 

Woke up to 13 this morning and only a dusting overnight. But....had some freezing drizzle throughout the day. Not like you guys out east or down south get, but just enough to know its there.

 

We hit 60, been raining all night and day
No fire since noon yesterday but needed a little heat this evening , 4 splits of silver maple, now it's 80 inside, so ,shorts and no shirt , fine with me.
They say Low 38 °F tonight
Weather radio been going off all day with different rivers reaching flood stage

 

Got up to around 20 above F here today.
Gotta bring in some of the flood killed poplar we got today.

 

Perfect shot of that wood in the truck. Some checks in the end, as soon as you hit it with an axe the bark disappears, and the lovely dark brown. I affectionately call it nuclear fuel rods.

 

It's a family affair

 

What kind of fir do you get there?

 

Thats a cool little video, thanks for sharing. The only wood on your list Ive burned is choke cherry, apple and in large amounts doug fir. I have a yard cherry tree that has snapped off at the butt that I will harvest this spring. The home owner is fine with me taking it. I think I will keep it for the bbq since its not a wood I can get easily or very often and they dont grow in the wild here.

 

-20c/-4f right now just before my evening reload of larch. Feeling a bit warm in the stove room but Ill live.

 

Clear skies. -6 atm . Today's poplar in the stove. It was bone dry just standing there.

 

Chilly chilly. Time for a couch nap n stoke in a few hours.

 

24° outside. 75 inside. I just put the final load in my Lopi. Doug fir, bigleaf maple, and paper birch.

 

Good morning ya'll, 32 f. here now. It's supposed to get up to near 70 today, here comes the mud. Tomorrow they are calling for snow. Whacky. Anyways, I'm burning hard Maple for the last hour since light off, probably for a a couple of hours to get the chill out, and then we'll enjoy a day of summer.

 

-3f burning oak slabs averaging 516 lbs a day for the season . Warm spell 2100 lb in a week . Wood consumption starting to slow down . My usage might seem excessive. But 6600sqft is alot of space.

Been pretty mild around here, low 70's yesterday. I shut the owb down Monday.
Rain rolled in last evening, BIG rains! Temps started falling last nite as well, 50 degrees early this morning with rain, 43 degrees now!!
Rectum it's out of doors with me to re-fire the OWB. Ash will be the order of the day and for quite a while as I have a bunch stacked in the shed.

 

Let the mud fest continue but no coats! Or fires. I’m kinda bummed about the no fires tho.

 

Sitting at -27 C or -16 F with just a whisper of wind, and clear blue skies. It's gonna feel like I died and went to the tropics if the weather forecast holds up and breaks tomorrow.
