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

41 out still NG think the last bill was $38 and I still need to upgrade my insulation.

 

It’s around 50° so I’m just burning a small fire of pine and maple just to knock the chill off

 

28* 73* Ash.

 

11 and dropping. Large Beech and Maple splits for the overnight fire.

 

Yeah I grew up with it and it’s become more pungent. Whilst I can understand that some stoves and fireplaces smell what is that downdraft that can really be kinda stinky in those periods where we don’t have a fire, it’s more tolerable than burnt oil.

 

That’s exactly how I’d describe it. The heat can be off but you can stand under a vent and still whiff it.

 

15 and 74, upper 30’s and sunny today great weather for the last day of January. Waiting to shovel a little ash before the reload of mostly beech. This ends one of the warmest Januarys on record in Maine. Here’s hoping that February is even warmer. Just as long as we don’t pay for it later lol.

 

27f right now with some snow falling now. We are in the longest stretch of stable winter weather I can remember. Upper teens to upper 20s at night, upper 20s to mid 30s and cloudy during the days over the last 10 days or so. Nothing but small snows. It is pretty nice in terms of saving on heating, and with the stable barometer the fishing has been good. I don't mind cold weather at all, but I have to admit I could get used to this.

 

0 outside right now. Pine for the next few hours, then back to hardwood for the longer daytime heating haul.

 

Another night of bone chilling temps here. It dropped down to 17f overnight! Sheesh, I wonder why I packed my shorts away last fall.

Just like Backwoods Savage , I love these mild temps!

 

Sitting at 27f now with a clear night and moon shining.

Man, that insulation we had added last summer is helping as the blower motor on the furnace hasn't run but two or three times during the evening tonight!

Quiet house here.

 

25 and 78, a mild night to close the month of January.

 

8 out there this morning. Pine burning now and to be replaced in a few hours with Beech and Ash.

 

31° here, a dusting fell overnight. Mild temps right though the 10-day forecast. I'm burning white birch and skinny beech rounds. Trying to use them up so I can stack sugar maple in their place.

 

28 at 6 this morning 71 in. Put some hickory and ash in the stove. Just a dusting of snow overnight.

 

28f here this morning. Probably hit the driveway with the ice scrapper over the next two days as we will have mild temps.

 

31 supposed to be mild temps for here for several days. Burned all my cherry waiting for colder temps. Got Ash and Sugar maple in now

 

29 and grey this morning. Burning locust this morning.

It's gonna be in the mid 30's all all day. Since I'll be around all day, I'll burn up some of the lightweight stuff and some slightly punky Ash.
