    Dipped down to 35ºF here last night but the only way I knew was that I woke up in the middle of the night and pulled a blanket over me. Most of the house stayed around 70ºF but my wife likes to have her bedroom window open at night. So far zero artificial heat this fall, but tonight they are predicting a hard freeze.

    31 this morning with a high of 45 today then down to mid 20s for tonight. Lit a small fire last night which kept the house at 70, had just enough coals to do a reload this morning. Added an oak chunk, cherry chunk and a couple pieces of boxelder. Should keep the house warm till I get home!

    Highs in the low 60's today. Tomorrow... 10 degrees colder, with lows very close to our first frost. Just lit up a fire, trying to keep it above 67 inside.

    34 f here this morning, loading back up with walnut/cherry mix. This combo seems to coal after the burn fairly long, good for shoulders.

    It's still 70 in the house from the fires yesterday/night.

    It looks like we'll be burning shoulder season wood into November if they have the long term forecast temps correct.
