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

Hemlock, White Pine and some big tooth Aspen, it looks like we'll get another week of this same weather so we'll keepon burning the shoulder season wood.

It would be nice to burn this wood until November 15 if not longer, we had 1.83 cord (not face) of shoulder season ready for this year.

 

38º outside 77º inside. Going into the 20's tonight. Got some cherry and ash going now.

 

Straight up hard maple. This small Englander has to run wide open to keep up when it gets in the teens/20's. Another month or better before I fire the big guns.

 

Damp and only got up to 50 today. First time this season that I have loaded the insert up three times, although not full loads. Was all oak today.

 

WOW. Looks really nice Machria!

 

About 32º on the back porch this morning. Ash and Pine burning nicely. I am going to have to bring in some more wood later. Oh, kids.............

 

23 here. First good hard freeze. Burning oak.

 

28 here burning wild cherry

 

25° this morning the smoke Dragon at 160° the house at 67°. Burning pine, boxelder and birch until I finish my new gasser install then it's all ash.

 

Thanks!

It's warming up here today, already 47. I made the mistake of putting a 1/2 load in this morning about about 10am. It's boiling in here, and I have a window open. It was 41 this morning and windy, so I thought it was going to stay cold.. Burning a mix bag of "tree of heaven", pine and some other weird un-recognizable light woods.

 

I'm pretty much exactly the same off as Machria. 41 this AM, warm in the house. Haven't had to burn yet this season; did a test run last week and got a funny smell coming off the stove. So, I figured I'd give a good hard fire and burn off whatever it was that got spilled on the stove sometime during the last 6 months out of use. Opened the window and let 'er rip with pine and old cedar. Cleared it right up. This morning I couldn't resist temptation and fired it up again. Even though I throttled it all the way down, I was way hot in here after I got back from Costco. So now Ive got the house doors are open, a good fall breeze flowing through and I'm watching a really slow bed of pine coals.. Life is good!

 

been there done that

 

Put a few small pcs in at 7 this morning. House is sitting at 76º right now but it's supposed to go down to 28º tonight so I guess I'll either wait till bed time to fire up or let the NG boiler do the work tonight. Supposed to hit mid 50s tomorrow......that's the hard thing about this time of year.

 

or let the NG boiler do the work tonight

The next couple weeks are going to be hard. Too warm for a fire but too cold to not have a fire.

 

Oh man. Just got back from my brother's house. We brought a few cold beers, fresh Italian bread from the backery, and pie and whipped cream for deseert. He cooked steaks and portabella mushrooms on the grill with Montreal seasoning and baked potatoes in the oven. About 33º

 

Almost a crime isn't Gas...especially now that I have everything that I have split and stacked....about 24 cords.

 

Why yes. Yes it is. I'm telling Backwoods Savage on Locust Post .

 

NOOOO don't tell the godfather of wood burning.....I might end up with a deer head in my bed.
