Woke up to -10 and made it to -15 at home as the sun broke the skyline! Packed the stove tight with red oak before heading to POLAR Scout Camp for...
My stove is very sliggish in temps above freezing with hardwoods, especially oak! It will take off fine with boxelder the very next load! I was...
Definitely offer less. I payed $799 for my 27 ton at Menards brand new. Granted that was a clearance sale after Christmas. I'm guessing it was...
Woke up to -2 this morning, upstairs was still at 71! Still burning the same old same old. Temps headed for more winter like temps after this...
I've got a little over a cord and a half left and have used about that much. So on par with about what I've normally used. The difference between...
Got about 10" of the white stuff yesterday into this morning. Made it up to 26° today. At our low of 6° right now...... I suspect it will get a...
I call it "planned rotation" for better drying!!:thumbs: Although I try my best to avoid it. I walk my piles every couple weeks and persuade them...
97% here! Little NG on the cold days (single digits and below) when I am away for 11 hrs at work. And a little if we leave town. Otherwise the...
:yes::yes: I guess the printers and copiers just create the paper put of thin air too! And their :makeitrain", and their checks, and their post...
Been quite warm here, 42 a couple days ago and highs above freezing till Tuesday. Then back to normal average temps (low to mid 20s and mid teens...
Definitely worth the work. Elm is no problem with the right tools! Most of the elm I've css has been dead standing a loooonnnggg time, so it more...
24° this morning heading for a high right around the freezing point. Small load of oak in the stove.
Yup we did. My dad and I each caught one with a few perch. Was windy as heck, could barely keep the portable shack in place.
Went down to 9° at 9:30 last night when I loaded the stove for the overnight burn. Raised back up to 17° this morning at 6:00 when I climbed out...
Take it easy on yourself! No sense in layong yourself up indefinitely. Slow and steady is the way to be. I'm a youngin' (32) and the processing...
As long as its keeping you warm and saving you :makeitrain"!!
12° tonight and then upper teens for lows for the next week+! Going to be able to do some outside stuff FINALLY! Got done with work early and ran...
I've noticed oak doesn't make crazy/blast furnace secondaries like my cottonwood and elm do! I think it off gasses slower and more controlably. I...
I've burned about a cord and 3/4ish. Keeping the house a little warmer than actually needed and letting some out into the garage. Pretty much on...
6° this morning and house was still at 70° upstairs, 78° near the stove. Headed for 21° today so the woodpile will not be disappearing as fast as...
