7/67. Coals still burning hot. I guess I better get up though and feed it something. Gonna be a cold weekend here.
12/66. Load of maple doing its thing now. Hopefully winter will stick around finally.
31/68. Some mid winter stove maintenance. Cat needed a bath. Found a loose gasket too so had to glue that back. Back and running tonight.
9/67. Finally feels like winter. Hopefully we get lots of snow!
30/71. Letting the coals burn down for the day. Rain coming. Dusting of snow last night. I was more excited than the kids.

15/66. Stove going low and slow for the day. Sunny and 32 today.
I just started loading e/w this winter after only loading n/s. For whatever reason, my burns times have increased and no more back puffs when...
20/69. Suppose to be 32 and sunny. Might need to restart the fire until tonight. We get a lot of solar gain.

22/71. Lot of coals left. Rain coming this weekend...
33/71. Coals still glowing from last night.
37/68. A fire last night. Son said, "Why isn't there smoke out of the chimney". That's a win for me!
19/69. Coals still burning from last night. High in the 50s today. Had our basement spray foamed last week and a ton of air sealing. Pretty...
34/72 and snowing... Started seeds inside today too. I'm sure it's a good sign.
