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

Glow plugs old 7.3. The glow plugs will stay on up to two minutes after the key is turned.

 

Sounds like he's talking about a core block heater for a diesel engine. My Ford has one that I'll plug in to keep the block warm if it gets really cold. My truck always starts on the first crank, but I can definitely see a difference in ease using the block heater.

 

I didn't see Millers post above me before I posted my last post....

 

Truck definitely starts better with the block heater plugged in. But it will start in the cold without it every time.

 

Probly a little less stress on the engine with the block heater as well

 

12 here now, we took my MIL out to eat for Christmas this afternoon, so the last wood was loaded at 1300 hrs, just got home to coals and firing her up with Sugar Maple.

 

Do you have sugar Maple on your property or do you buy it?

 

No snow here, other than what's on the ground. Temp now 11*

 

Parts of the yard still had 5" of hard Icy snow from the rain, we picked up another 5" of powder that has packed down some where the sun hits it. Everything is white. And will stay white for the lord's day.

 

You could send some of your ice to me I will happily take it.



Getting a little warm down here today!

Man, you really need some. 103 deg., yuck. I would melt, never mind the snowman.

 

Ouch! 103 is way too hot! 28F here & clear, really nice night, this is my kinda weather. Sun was out most of the day too which is rare here. Catalpa & Oak in the boiler.

 

17f right now, night before was 6f. Burning my set aside red oak and Ash. Silver Maple during the day. Loading the stove 4 times a day now to keep the house temp up. An almost full load in the morning of silver maple, a half stove load at 3 pm when I wake up ( I work 3rd shift), 3/4 stove load at 6 or 7 before my Naptime, and a full load of red oak, locust or ash when I leave for work at 10:30. I hope I have enough wood to last this year....I got behind on my 3 year plan.

 

20’s at night, and 30’s during day.

3yr red oak uglies during the day since Im working from home this week.

3yr red oak and some 2yr red maple perfect splits at night.

woke up to a 70* house and enough coals for a quick restart.

 

3 feels like -2, 74 inside on coals. Less wind than yesterday and warming up to about 30 today then a short warm spell that should melt some ice.

 

-7 F here this morning. A mix of Beech, Ash, and a random piece of some kind of Birch keeping things warm.

 

Feels like -4 here... stove is choochin' with ash this monin...
