    A lot of people talk crap about it. It's clean, easy to split, and dries fast...and it grows like a weed. It does leave more ash than others. BTU charts rank it low but I get surprisingly long burns with it.

    18 F outside today, thought to do some splitting today but there is a lot of snow and wind, so just starting the BEAST (kaklugn) again!

    Have a nice day all!

    Let stove go out overnight. Wife started a small fire just to take the chill off but it feels like spring outdoors.

    It dropped down to about 28 during that slight cold we started this month with but hardly for long. Its the wet cold that keeps the fire going.

    Looks like some pretty cooler weather towards end of the week with low temps at or close to freezing. Not minding that a bit but I definitely can’t wait for the real week/weekend cold and snow. Some of us anticipate it, others not so much. Can’t argue with the electric heat being off. It only happened once for me but that was JUST before the stove install. Left home this morning with 2 oak splits roasting in Miss October

    We had 7 this morning with a high of 47 today. Our first fire was with some better hardwood and then I decided to run a second fire this afternoon around 2 with some pine.

    its 36 degrees here as well. I just loaded up the stove for the night, and then glanced at the weather. Apparently, its going to warm up from here on tonight, instead of dropping. High of 54 tomorrow, guess I wont be reloading in the morning.

    30s tonight and 40s tomorrow, sticking to softwood in half loads since the wind is gone.

    -edit- Duvekot, your stove it's a work of art! Have you posted any info on it here?

    41 now headed for 20 overnight. Pretty stiff northwest wind. Just loaded for the evening burn. Mix of ash, elm, and boxelder should do the trick!

    It's 48 with the temp trending up, they're forecasting a low of 39 with rain so we'll burn some pine tonight.

    Did a little hoarding, had a river crossing. Took my oldest boy to help. He drove most of the time, made and broke trail to each tree then skinned them. 4998C57E-DBFE-4D29-82EC-A2393C4E3F5E.jpeg A6886E9C-E699-484E-88C1-A1B8F6942B98.jpeg D6598C3F-7237-4D92-AA6D-E9473F3DA72D.jpeg 6F9D5746-0473-4548-AEAF-DF9481685F47.jpeg 0053442B-0FE6-4D6A-A5AE-866D7A808AE9.png
