    48/73 didn't reload this morning but have some ash and sycamore going this evening. Rain all day and the ground is very soft. Looking forward to cold and snow flurries moving in.

    It should off gas good. But get that ash cleaned up it's terrible for indoor air quality and will coat everything.

    A few days of forties, now temperatures are dropping and rain. Spent part of the day in drizzle to get wood to the shed. Highs in the thirties next several days with lots of snow expected Sunday/Monday.
    Another oak and maple night.

    hunker down folks!

    16/68 mostly old silver maple. Happy New Year! The fog that we had for about 4 days is finally gone and colder temperatures are back. The Wife has been sick since she came home from work Friday. Tested positive with type A flu on a home test. I've been sleeping in the guest room and we have mostly stayed away from each other. Somehow I feel fine (knock on wood) Our traditional New Years Eve steak dinner ( I will fire up our gas grill even if it is below zero) is postponed until she is back to feeling healthy. I did get her to eat more than soup last night, a "garden salad" and a cheeseburger. Stay warm and stay healthy, there is a lot of crud getting passed around out there.

    Happy new year. Woke up to snow and much colder temps today. Got the Jotul loaded up with ash and locust. Wanted to try and save my locust for very cold nights but my stacks aren’t too organized right now. Long term January forecast looks snowy and cold. Let’s hope we actually get a decent snowmobile season here, it starts tomorrow. Also looking forward to the ground freezing up, have a lot of dead ash to get down.

    Happy new year! Getting a little cooler here, 39 is the high today. Burning mostly short-leaf pine and big red oak splits for the overnight. PXL_20250101_065020934~2.jpg

    g60gti I'm with you, I've got at least 5 decent sized ash trees that need to come down soon, and 1 absolutely massive one I may not even tackle by myself.

    48 damp and overcast. I wasn’t going to light a fire but I can’t shake the raw feeling here. Just lit up a tulip poplar/aspen mix.

    Thinking was built as some sort of warming chamber or something. Had an iron door on it but was pretty rusted out from chimney leaking over the years. Might have been just decorative.

    I have a few bigger ones but mostly smaller. Ground is just a muddy mess right now. Want to get them down though as they are becoming dangerous, especially with my boys always running around out in the woods.

    Just hit the freezing point, going down to 28F.

    Had a nice bed of red oak coals so threw about 4 or 5 splits of short-leaf pine on top of them and it's ripping, pic is just before I closed the damper down. PXL_20250101_204829860~3.jpg
