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

17/72 white oak

 

I had a flock of over 100 walk past me late this past deer season. Smoky gray bearded hen in the mix too. Talk about a lot of eyes on the lookout!

 

-15/70 Here we go again, extreme cold weather warning the next couple days! Hopefully this is the last this year!

 

-3/59

Yuuuup. Slept straight through reload time last night! Post race syndrome I suppose.
Boy did I sleep good however.
-17F wind chill now. Heat wave arrives around noon. High of+4F expected.
Then we slide again towards -15F and a WC of -30F to -40F. Boooyaaa. Where is my suntan lotion?

We do finally have hard crunchy snow cover. Almost thought that wasn't going happed this winter..... Kinda cool

 

Steady 13-15mph winds w gusts near 30. Dew point is 14 degrees f. 68 inside temp. Loaded a big nasty that needed more draft than I gave it. Still 3/4 there after an 11p reload. Have it full throttle now. Burn baby burn.

 

6. Says feels like -9. Straight White Ash in the boiler. It is now playing catch up after it burned out last night. I got up at 5:30 and reloaded it after loading it early last night and going to bed.

 

Do you just have a fireplace?

 

13/0wc/71 white oak and mulberry.

 

-10 feeling like something close to -30. And snowing.

Inside is 67 now, vapor fire 100 loaded up for the next 8 hours or so.....

Shoveling and plowing on tap here in the U.P.

 

Haha, I did exactly the same thing for the same reason, with the same results. 25/59. I cleaned ashes out of the insert and started a fire, it is ripping now.

 

Wait....what? Am I reading this correctly? You're missing the whole concept!

Obviously, something else is going on. But until then...........

 

8* outside. Supposed to be well below freezing until Sunday. Maybe some snow in between, maybe not.

Boiler still has plenty of wood from last night....I'll load it again this evening with more ash.

 

My house is very old, built in 1928. There are too many holes in my house to run the woodstove and heat the house when its below 0F and windy. Upstairs temps will drop to the 40s and 50s when burning. Upstairs still has single pane windows from years ago. The wood stove doesn't heat every room in the house. Propane DOES heat the whole house.

 

No, I have a stove in the basement....

 

Another week of winter here. Maybe next week the sap will run and I can start making syrup
Oh yeah, burning cherry and tulip poplar this morning.

 

40-50 isnt too bad for a reload if wearing boots and a winter jacket infact some say it will help toughen you up.

 

17/63. I slept good last night. Just loaded up with white and red oak.

I think my weather person needs to go back to meteorology school. Consistently off both directions on temperature by about 10*. Low last night was supposed to be 25*.


My name is Mike, and I'm a hoarder.

 

Wind is finally easing. After work I plan on bringing some BL down for the cold week. (Not the cold some of you are having ) Wonder if I have any tarps left after the way the Hawk was out last night.

 

A btu is a btu, but it's the distribution of them that is in play in this case.
