    Waking up to a -13 feels -18 C ( 9 feels 0 F) morning. Supposed to see it rise near -5 C (23 F) by this afternoon. It's the last day open for deer in our zone, so hopefully can kick one up for mrssaskwoodburner. Poplar as always heating the way.

    Yes, there are some big changes coming for weather and for burning habits for most of us. Well, it is December...

    I’m not at home.... but the honey is and she built the fire herself. I gather she’s a great listener, has the thing choochin on some Cedar, Alder and Maple by the sound of it. Now on our way back from Lynden (no I’m not driving yet) but had a great time. Looking forward to warming the saddle, cold a** car right now.

    Except for 2 days n nights (lows in the teens) its been pretty mild here. Evening fires into morning......then start all over again. Still can't figure out how to shovel ashes out without the plumes of dust so I let it die down pretty good n use the ash vacuum( guess I'm too anal)..lol

    I like to say you need to handle with kid gloves. The slower you can move, the better it will go and never, never overload the shovel. Less is better. Then when it comes to getting the ash off the shovel, never dump it off. Try to picture if you will, to set the shovel down into the bucket and then just slide the shovel out from under the ashes rather than trying to move the ashes off the shovel. I learned how to do this at around age 5 or 6. I was a quick learner too because the first time I also ended up having to dust the entire house from all the ash dust I spread around. I did not want that to happen again.

    I would say at 8 c a fire is necessary
    But I like it warm and wood heat is the only heating I have here.
