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

That is awesome T.Jeff!! Thanks for sharing.

 

Our back porch chimes woke me 3 times last night. Supposed to calm down on sustained but gusts are predicted up to 35.

 

Its slowly warming up from the previous few mornings -21c/-6f right now with the stove loaded to the gills with Larch. It looks like a beautiful Sunday. We went to the city yesterday and came back with a haul of meat so I have to decide quickly what to put in the smoker.

 

Strange weather this year. Usually I can count on being colder than much of Canada, but it looks like you have me beat! Wonky weather here, about -10C/14?F right now, but the forecast in a few days has us jumping above/just below freezing daytimes for a week or better. I'd rather it just stay -10 to -15 C, as the fire is easier to run without blowing the doors off from too much heat.

 

Yeah you are usually colder than me for sure at least during the coldest periods. I remember a few years ago you had a winter that had you in a long harsh deep freeze that didnt seem to want to let up. We drove into Alberta yesterday and it was -18c/0f when we left our house at 11 am and within 30 km it was already at 0c/32f. I see in the forecast that we have a warm up coming. Hopefully it doesnt get to wet out. At least the lakes are set up for fishing now so a bit of above freezing shouldnt affect things to much.

 

30F and dropping towards the high teens by dawn. I’m trying like heck to use up the last of this 2.5 year dried white birch before the end of the week. It’s alright for burning, but nothing I’m going to go out of my way for again (unless I end up living in the frozen north one day )

 

20’s tonight, good old classic eastern shore white oak seasoned for 3 or 4yrs - I cant remember which. Its super cold for here and being November!!

 

Currently 20 low of 18 but the wind is blowing hard. Not to worry IS is keeping us warm. Feeding her steady diet of poplar and ash

 

23/73 with very strong wind.
elm and hard maple

 

71 in the house 24 outside. Burning 27.72 of poplar, ash cherry and sassafrass. Mostly tulip poplar.







Fit one more little split.

26.14+ 1.58= 27.72 lb of wood.

Will be intresting to see what the weight is later in the season when the heavy hitters are loaded into the stove.

 

Supposed to warm up a bunch here too. Been down in the 14-19 F for lows and 35 for highs. Burning Larch.

 

23/73. Just lit and loaded up with chestnut oak and maple. Let the fire go out after this at 10a.

 

12/68 hard maple and elm
We went from September weather to January weather in less than a week. Supposed to warm up and less wind after today.

 

Around 15 F here and warming up slowly. Ash, Beech, and Pine in the mix for heat this morning.

 

Never thought about weighing a load going in......
Now weigh it when you take it out...

 

Coolest morning so far...
Still burning some cull oak, hickory assortment. I need to close the foundation vents today

 

It was 19F when I got the stove relit at 4:30 this morning, and it's still that cold Another mixed load of white birch and red oak.

 

We've got a few pieces of this, can't remember what it is. I thought catalpa, but I think that's in a different shed. Seems heavy for the size, might be a big redbud we cut or mulberry.
The app didn't help this time, it gave me mango on the bark, larch on the end grain
