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

I don't know what you mean?

 

Using electric heaters!!! There using 1500 watts! Around here thats like $0.25/hr for the power. If your running two of them that adds up! Three adds more

 

And?

It adds about $60 a month to the electric bill. About the cost of a cord of Pine for me. Between October through mid-December I will burn 3-5 cords of Pine. Which is $150-250 in wood.

Plus, it cuts down on me having to load stoves.

 

That's getting pretty warm...going after the sauna effect?

 

Oh so you buy all your wood. I forgot about that.

Someone sells pine for that cheap? Must have a processor. No way I would mess with selling it that cheap even if pine!!

 

Nope, just a local guy and his splitter.

 

Thats crazy. The time involved is not worth it to me!!!

 

He's gotta get rid of it somehow. Landscapers dump it on his yard, along with the hardwood, he doesn't have a big yard, and everyone around here is afraid of pine.

 

Oh ok. I thought this was a guy with some property or something ? Well win for you. At that price I would burn mostly line. Just a few more reloads. Id keep some hardwood for night and real cold though but burn mostly pine at that price!!

 

We had 33 this morning, another load of Cherry.

 

We're at 40 tonight so we'll have a small Cherry fire before I call it a night.

I have that small Cherry fire going in the Liberty, it's still holding at 40 degrees outside.

 

It is 23 and frosty this morning, house was at 67 when I got up. I through a couple Locust splits and a couple Cherry splits on hot coals from a 9pm load of the stove last night. House is up to 71 inside now and still climbing. Just checked 76 in stove room, where I am drinking coffee by the fire with my FHC mug.

 

35-ish this morning. Pine in boiler. Time to bring some more wood in today.

 

32 this morning with some ash and maple burning. 70 inside...caught the oil man outside, I'm glad it was the same driver like last time. Told him it's still full, told him to come back in February and then you can probably get 25 gallons

 

26 this morning, and still working our way through short pieces and semi-punky Red Maple. Almost through it and into the good stuff. Glad to have the junk out of the wood processing area - it irks me to see and handle wood that got punky because I didn't CSS it fast enough.

Lots of people down in town burning now. We are upwind of most of them, so just get to see the haze. One OWB upwind of us, but it generally isn't too bad from him. I am pretty sure there is a new wet-wood burner down the valley based on the smoke I'm seeing this Fall.

 

I don't think we got below freezing at all last night. (not counting the wind chill)
34 now with mid 40's for the high expected.

 

It was 39 this morning, another Cherry fire.

 

Foggy as heck , 32°F ,got cheery cookin in the repo , High: 47 °F expected.

 

OAT is 31, IAT is 67, so I pulled up the coals and added 3 Maple splits. I may just let that burn nice and hot until it's gone.
Supposed to hit 49 with sun today.

 

33 this mourn oak
