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

14° out 74 in the stove room

Ash in the quadrafire. I brought up a cart full of 4 yr dried honey locust chunks for the coming cold snap where it won't get out of the single digits for highs.

 

27/75 all large chestnut oak splits.

 

Do you shut your air all the way down?

 

21/69 just reloaded with 2 big cherry splits. Looking at the weather were supposed to get a decent sized snow storm the 23rd then plunge to single digits.

 

Oops 80° inside.

 

40f for the high and 23f for the low Sunday through Wednesday.. then the bottom falls out. Forecast of snow then lowes of -5f and highs of 5f for a couple days. House is set at 70 but gets up to 75 sometimes after a stove reload.

Youngest boy and I started stacking wood in the basement to make it though the negative temp days. Oak and hickory with a 12"x12"x20" piece of ash for each long burning night. We have our wood bunk stacked at 2 times normal capacity and filling another tomorrow before the cold hits. Cut and split 4 milk crates of kindling that we probably won't need since the fire will be burning full time. Wood bunk usually lasts a week.

 

24/74 elm

 

Good to see everyone is doing well. Tonight's temperature.
Nice thing about 40 below . Tho it's only 39 below . F or C it's the same
Fire killed white and black spruce keeping both the house and the workshop/coop warm. Tho the shop/coop is much cooler than the house is.

 

21 woke up to the sound of the thermostat click, so I rolled out and loaded the stoves with red and white oak. Turned down the thermostat and it’s coffee time.

 

A Bradford pear, cherry and hickory inferno in the Lopi. 27 on the mercury.

 

71/19 persimmon tulip poplar and some ash in the fireview.

 

20 this morning. I’ll be around off and on so I loaded the burn chamber with large Spruce and Pine splits.

 

25/70. White Oak doing the work. After work going to bring down some black locust for later in the week. I was hoping to hold off until late Jan/Feb to break out BL. But if you got it, burn it.

 

8/71. I fired up around 4-ish or so.

Canadian border VT at 90 in the stove room?

 

Door glass cleaning mode

 

Sitting at -25 C feels -35 C (-13 F feels -31 F) with the wind this morning, and temps to rise only 2-3 degrees all day. Random piece of poplar and pine uglies in the reactor.
