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

77 degrees today and it's dropped 52 degrees already, 27 degrees overnight with the wind chill.

 

Crazy temperature drops

 

The next two days they have us in the 50's then some colder air moves in, Hemlock and some White Pine until we burn what we brought in.

We should be done with the shoulder season wood on Friday or Saturday, then it's time we burn some dead Elm.

 

Hey Hey. Welcome aboard bearverine! Pole around when you have time. Lots to read. Sounds like a good set up you have. Nothing like burning wood.

 

Very nice Deacon!

 

Pretty warm day yesterday. It dropped to 38º on the back porch early this morning. Ash and Spruce going in the boiler.

 

41 degrees this AM, we'll get up to 75 this afternoon though. Looks like the last real warm day for a while though

 

The little Lopi in the living room hasn't cooled down for 2 days now and it's headed into the single digits later this week. Guess I better get the Daka in the basement extension tuned up and ready to fire.

 

Hit 62 at around 10 AM....down to 45 and falling like a rock. Woke the stove up before I left for work. Oak.

 

Still 62 here with an overnight low -maybe no need for a fire tonight!

 

Welcome, Andy. Yeah, I hear ya about the deadwood...I've got about 10 Red Oaks down that I need to get. With that, and rounds ready to process, I'm hoping to to stack 6 cords or so this winter...if we have some decent weather. Later, what we have now will be OK, but I'm not quite ready for it now.

'Fraid so...

Heheh. Party's over, bud.

 

OK, only 65 inside the house tonight -that deserves at least some red maple to take the chill off.

A few more days and the temps plummet!

 

Have you had many fires going so far this year?

 

Cold here, we had our first frost last night, and it hasn't hit 40 today. Should be below freezing again tonight...I know that's not cold to most of you, but in my maritime climate that's a cold spell. I burned maple for this morning's fire and will do the same for the evening, maybe with a bit of alder mixed in.

 

I ran out of softwood slab wood I had stocked on the porch for shoulder season. Looks like its going to get to get colder at just the right time. Its time to move to Stage 2 shoulder season wood. I have some maple and uglies to go after. By then we should be ready for Stage 3 wood sometime in late December, seasoned oak. Stage 4 wood is in the middle of the stack which is 4 year seasoned oak, which should be a goldmine! Stage five is some more 2 year oak which should fill out the season. I will then probably bring some more slabwood up from the sawmill for occasional fires.

 

Jealous of people's Oak stashes here. LOL

 

Today was the most beautiful weather day, and probably the last of that warmth for a while. It was in the 60's here today with sun.

 

Hanging at 62º outside and a few random rain drops. No fire tonight and we'll see about morning or may just wait till tomorrow afternoon. Looks like 24/7 after that for a good run. I've got everything under the sun on the patio under roof ready to go. Oak (red and white), ash, cherry, beech, elm, and of course "a spot of locust mate"

 

34 and dropping according to my backyard acu-rite weather station, suppose to get down to mid to upper 20's over night,
last couple weeks i was just burning shoulder season pine, but now burning a mix of big leaf maple ( think silver maple) and Doug Fir,

 

High of 36 low around 15. Supposed to have 5-7 inches of snow Thurs.

Burning some Birch and press logs in my Enviro VF1700 woodstove.
