    In the mid forties. Burning up a blowdown maple that I have finished chopping up . Was hoping for more useful wood from it bit at least it is just a trunk and rotted stump taking up space in the pasture

    Since both my wife and I are home during the day, I will get a fire going in the morning when we get up and I may add wood once more, late morning. That will be it until the next day. When it gets cold, then I will be burning 24/7.

    Currently 46 degrees after getting 1.30" rain today. No fires yet partially due to chimney getting damaged from a maple branch durning a windstorm we had.

    Built a fire about 7:30 this eve. Had 63 inside so it was time. :whistle: Currently 32 outside and predicting a temp increase rest of the night. Steady diet of chestnut oak in 21-24” length is keeping us warm. Up to 71 in the living room right now and just about ready for the evenings last reload.

    Unfortunately, I’m unable to upload full size pics with this new(er) phone. These are screen shots of the original.

    Sometimes I use the portrait setting, that's what these were taken with.

    Guessing the quality won't be as great through yt, so if you can, select HD in the options (little gear). Had a neat swirl pattern going behind the front flame.

    42 and I just heard the heat pump click so that means it’s 63 inside. Loaded up with white oak before I head out. There’s some sleet in the mountains.

    I wonder if the temps on the sides of the stove are still within specs given that the heat shedding is much less like this?
    I.e. are you not overfiring the sides by having your thermal mass that prevents much heat loss there? (Less convection and less net radiation)
