    It's 39 outside now. It will surely get down to freezing, if not at least a hard frost tonight.

    Basswood in the quadrafire. I'll probably throw a chunk or 3 of beech uglies to hold a fire overnight.

    We are currently on the south side of freezing and with clear skies, it'll drop more this evening!

    Yeah, I could have started burning earlier myself. But I was busy so the house stayed cool and we were dressed warm.

    It got down to 40 last night. I had basswood going all night, with a beech ugly to hold coals overnight. I reloaded this morning. 68 in the house ( away from the stove), and most importantly, no furnace kicking in.

    I kinda like basswood for shoulder wood. Not too much ash, and it lights nicely. That's good, because I have a whole tree of basswood that uprooted that I need to cut, haul, split and stack for next year . That tree is at least a cord and a half.

    Ok
    Finally got to fire up my new PE Super 27 Home Entertainment Center last night. I built a fairly gentle fire to get the paint cured and to go easy on the stove. The stove top temperature was 325° and I had a pretty good bed of coals. I put in a couple of pieces of red oak , got it charred pretty good and shut the air down. 10 hours later the stove top temperature is at 150° and there is still enough glowing coals to easily get the fire going. I think this is the latest I
    can remember that I built my first fire of the season. It's particularly hard on you when you have a new stove.☺
