Stove has been cold since yesterday as we were busy. Its 4c and raining heavily. Tired of a cold house so a fire building I will go! Pine and fir will get this shack toasty!
We had a high of 41 today with a strong sun that felt great, it's 27 with the temp trending down so we're burning some cherry and red maple tonight.
It was 9° an hour ago, now 22°F. Loaded the oakleaf with birch and ash, headed to the upper 30s today. Should continue to melt the white stuff!
Been burning some birch and cherry (stove not fully packed either) here now that the temps are upper 20s overnight and upper 40s for the daytime highs. Keeping the house at 70-72. Headed for close to 60 today so with solar gain, I'm letting the stove go out till tonight to avoid over heating. Will probably only need night fires for a couple days as its supposed to be above normal temps. May let the NG furnace carry the daytime for the rest of the season as its cheap enough to run.
We're sitting in +3 C and heading for +5 C. Or 37 heading for 41. Nasty winds though, 20-30 mph now, and supposed to increase later upwards of 40-45 mph. Poplar in the stove.
Weve warmed up to 0c/32f with some beautiful sunshine and no wind so far. A few splits of doug fir keeping the house warm.
32°F here, but feels warmer. I just threw a whole bunch of credit card offers onto a bed of coals. Maybe I should just buy a paper shredder.
Still cold here, it was low 20s early AM but up to the mid 30s now. Very windy and gloomy today, burning some hickory and red oak. House is a nice toasty 78° right now..... Ran out of pellets for the cellar though, a little chilly down there. I think I'm done running the pellet stove for the year.
well got to 5 last night and the sun is out warming the house full of southern windows about the 70 in here now 32 outside.. the 34 inches of snow is compacting nicely. .. stove is cold hey ya got to clean it sometime! all clean now will load and light it in 4 or so hours... 3 Rd time this year I needed a match... these IS there always a bed of coals... now to see if I can still build a fire after grilling Sunday dinner for the fam... still a 18 of snow on ground but a great spring day
Rode the bike out to supper this evening. The air temperature was a nice 53ºF at the time so no need for any heat. It is all the way down to 49 now so no need to get excited for me.
The current temp this morning is 10°f headed up to a balmy 46°f today. House cooled down to 64° overnight just running the pellet stove on low. Loaded the oakleaf with some ash and birch.
Looking at -9 C feels -18 C with the wind. That's 15 F feels like 0 F. A bit colder than it was forecast. Poplar burning same as always.
Burned some Cottonwood this morning, 52 today, low 30 tonight, ash for overnight Got a couple chilly nights coming up
41 out now. Burninating elm and basswood in the quadrafire. It got to 53 outside today. Tomorrow it'll drop a few degrees, but the fire goes down to coals during the day, and back to half choochin' at night.
