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

Load of red oak this morning did good while i was at work all day. 70.1 inside still and 12.9 out. It's been pretty breezy all day. Loaded er up with a mix of white ash, cherry, oak, maybe a chunk of walnut. All on the smaller side to warm the stove up quick. It's currently 600° and climbing.

 

The wind sure is crisp. Supposed to reach down into the negative numbers by day break. Feeding the firebox a steady diet of honey locust chunks.
71 inside.

 

16/71 ash and split of beech going. Brought in a few splits of white oak. Thermal underwear is mandatory accessory for work.

 

17/72 and very windy. Hard Maple, Shagbark, Black Locust for the overnight

 

I know this is mild to some of you. But for me... It's cold.



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

 

-5/70 Real feel -25.

Just got off one of my lean-too rooves. All done shoveling 4+ feet of wind driven snow. Hopefully, that'll be the only time this year.

 

Ash until bedtime then a big load of locust for overnight.


Temps s,posed to be -13 f by morning.

 

Temperature in the teens here tonight…. Burning some black oak and black locust

 

Well, after almost 7 years, you finally posted!

Where have you been? Signed up and than not a word! Nothing, not even a post card! We were worried sick!!!


Interesting stove-do you have to insert the handle every time to open the door?

Dog looks very comfortable.

 

Yeah it’s a Morso 3450. I take the handle out because it gets very hot. That’s the pups favorite spot for sure

 

Boiler doing well keeping . Another single digit night. I have my cart on standby loaded with soft wood for my refill around 22 hours.
The wind was calm today, so even with it below twenty, it wasnt bad to be outside. Get to Saturday and we are back in warm temps again

 

I would do the same thing but only use a snow scoop filled with the next OWB load. And then I would cover it to keep it from getting snowed on.

 

Heading for a chilly night, been awhile since this low. Shop and house stoves cruising on red oak.

 

6/-8wc/73 inside white oak doing the heavy lifting. Just got done cooking up a feast and was sweating so I went outside shirtless with flipflops on for a few minutes. Looking at the weather report the end or burning season might be near. About to smash some jalapeño poppers followed by blackened walleye, coho, and king salmon with a lemon cream sauce over some potatoes.

 

And I thought it was cold here.

 

yooperdave dang it! You made me get outta my chair and look outside. All good !

A bit chilly here plus another 5" white stuff this morning. Got the driveways taken care of after work and looks like we got another dusting. Hopefully we are down with the snow for the week. Hackberry and locust in the stove.
