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

Ended up with 2" more overnight. 22 now with overnight expected to be low teens...very low! 10 mph wind from the N NE today, should cool things a bit more.

 

28 this morning spitting snow.. yesterday was 50 so no fire... 4 am living room was 59... loaded pine and Ash.. we're at 78 inside.. kids off school..... another cord off pile... have to do some soon

 

29 OAT this am, so 4 med. splits went in.
70 IAT when I got up, and now 73-ish. Light snow dusting overnight.
Due for about 15 tonight, which means a decent overnighter.

 

We had 30 this morning so we had another Cherry fire, the next four nights will be colder so we'll mix in some Beech or Ironwood with the Cherry.

 

Got a fire going again. Supposed to drop to 28ºF tonight with a high of 40ºF tomorrow and even colder on Sunday. Then maybe some snow and possibly a Noreaster. May as well get everything nice and toasty warm in advance.
eclectic commingling of oak, maple and eastern white pine

 

The overnight low dropped to 6. Lit off the basement stove with a blend of ash and maple. Tonight is supposed to be cooler also.

 

22 at sunrise
Smorgasbord of wood and coal.
Looks like the snow is gonna be a pass. Been sunny,cold and windy last 3 days.

 

20 this am, with the sun out and our rooster crowing. No wind, and should hit about 35 today with sun, and a low of 13.
68 IAT at about 8:30, so I added 4 medium splits of Maple to a large bed of coals. Fire commenced within seconds, and we've had secondaries for several minutes.

 

We had 18 this morning, the 5 Ironwood rounds I added to the 4 Cherry splits last night did the trick.

Tonight will be around 18 again so I'll load up with Beech & Ironwood, that should move the needle on the thermometer real quick.

 

well i'm having some trouble getting used to a thermostat?!? I made the move to the oil burner and it is really bothering me. went down to middle 20's last nite so I hit 1 zone in the family room and I don't like it. got nothin in the old jotul and nothin to watch or tend. I buy my wood and burn brick like I do oil, hell I feel like i'm pi88ing money up the chimney when I hear the boiler come on. same thing as feedin the stove , but not as much fun. think i'll go out and find some pallets. have a day

1:55pm i'm givin in. 41* and sunny but I've pulled my last pieces together and i'm gonna start one. don't know what tomorrow will bring with snow and all, damm this is as hard as quittin the smokes!!!

 

Its 21 at 10 am and Im getting ready to load the stove with fir after a night of larch. The sun is out and its a beautiful day in the Rockies

 

Always, right?

 

Just got back from a ride to the cottage and the road is melted enough where I can drive the truck down!
As long as I stay on the gravel, I'm good!

 

Heres the view from my dining room. The trees in the forefront are larch. They will be a beautiful light green as the new needles come in this spring.

 

Nice view!
