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

I'm more interested in seeing the Tin Man ... need a bit of help finishing up my in-process pile before winter really sets in.

I just stapled down my lumber wrap over several of my wood piles. Will be a good test to see if it holds up.

 

Oh yeah big storms tearing up the country, tornadoes west of Michigan, blizzards in Colorado, it's all on its way, might miss you, I don't know

 

Or the witch on a bike flyin by......

 

The cold and snow are bad enouph but that kind of wind is just down right miserable.

 

Mid 30s, 30 mph wind, putting together a puzzle with my bride all nice and warm burning some silver maple.

 

42 here this morning. Misting rain. Going to be a wet and windy one today. thewoodlands , looks like you may get some more blow downs. Eh?

 

We'll see Gasifier , nothing for watches up yet.

 

Last night WWNY was saying 35mph gust for us. Just east of the lake they were saying 35, 45, and maybe 55mph gust. Looked maybe staying South of here. Hopefully they won't go that far through and get that high for you.

 

50 here with rain and wind. Could not resist starting a fire to see how the stove performs in high wind conditions. A chilly 66 in the house at the moment ... but not for long. Burning cherry, silver maple and 3 gren bricks (Departments - FIREWOOD BRICKS 20/PK)

 

What are the measurements on those bricks?
I may have to make a run to Gaylord for a couple packs of those to try out.
I got a 4pk at TSC that are 3x4x9.5" for $3.49.

 

The 20 pack weighs 38 pounds and each brick is 6x3.75x2.5; they are cheaper per pound than the TSC product. They normally sell for $4.99 at FFH, but if buying by the ton, they are $224. I'm hoping to get a few packs during the black Friday sales. Pretty sure I got them 25% off last year. I like to use three when doing a cold start; I put down 3 splits then a split in front and back and the 3 blocks in the middle then kindling on top. While I like them, I don't love them. I've tried burning them alone and find that they burn best when combined with splits. Also, I make sure I have splits under them as this insure they burn completely.

 

Thanks for that info.
I've found it best to use with splits too.
The TSC bricks are 20.8 lbs/4 pack.

 

Just lit the fire, raining, cool, & raw. Temps outside in the mid 40's, temp inside is 61. That temp will change, real soon!

 

Raining to beat the band for the last day now. All the streams/rivers are swollen. Sure glad it isn't the white stuff, we'd be digging for sure.
The temps will drop tonight and along with that the rain will changeover to snow. Lots of it! Supposed to get a foot of the heavy stuff.

Heat attack snow is on the way!

 

Yeah, I noticed when I was looking at the radar a lot of storms went thru up there, not storms down here just mostly wind

 

Just mowed the yard again, 50's here but might creep down a little tonight with these high winds. Not sure when I'll get the first fire. My son (3yrs old) asked the other day if we could make a fire... it was 62 degrees out!

 

Blowing 30 right now gusting to 55-60 and 42 degrees with a bit of rain just tried putting a couple splits in and darn near had them sucked up the chimney from all the draft the wind is making

 

Windy as all get out here, getting down to 34 degrees here tonight, 27 tomorrow night and 24 Saturday night. Loaded up the stove with some Poplar and a little Cherry earlier just to keep chill knocked off tonight....

 

Yeah that Wind this morning was taking a little toll on the heat, died down here now 16 to 24

 

40 here with rain. Ash in boiler.
