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

1 degree with a real feel of -16. I can not believe the amount of wood I burned today. Need to go out and get some black locust to mix in with this maple and boxelder. Furnace isn't running,but everyone but me is chilly. 72 in the stove room. Temps on the stove are higher than I usually run,but even Floyd is looking at me like dude it's chilly in here.

 

JCMC, can you talk a little bit about your setup? How much you're heating, storage if any, etc? I'd love to get 24hrs on a burn in this kind of weather!

10 here, only dipping into negatives by one degree tonight with calm wind. Sugar maple getting it done after running some pine through top burn coals down while I was home to tend the boiler.

 

Good thing Rope's house is ALOT better insulated than the cabin I live in.
I'm kinda lackadaisical about really burnin the hell out of my woodstove. Winter time is long John time. Just how it is with a primitive heating system.
When I build our home it will have radiant in floor heating and a big concrete hut that the indoor wood and coal furnace/boiler lives in.
But for now,
This is 1 days wood. And the Toyo OM22 picks up the slack.

 

About 1ft, maybe a smidge more.

 

if ya need more let us know still snowing still below 0

 

Season Norway maple keepin me warm tonight. Only low 20’s but 77 inside. I can’t imagine how much wood it takes to make it through a winter in the negative temps.

 

No thanks. They still have my tractor for the minor service they are doing to it. I think I brought it to them Wednesday.

 

Rock ; you need a sled. That's what I use. I got a new one for Christmas .
Years ago I put runners on my indoor wood box and put P Tex plastic/nylon / whatever. Strips on the runners. Spliced a rope bridle and off I go. Have a ramp up to the deck. Then I got my wife a Jet Sled Junior, for when I was on The Slope and she brought the wood in. The new one is a Shappel Kodiak.

It holds as much firewood as a double wheeled contractors wheel barrow . But slides over the snow real easy. I pull it right into the arctic entry and load up the wood box sled to over flowing. Mix of poplar, cottonwood and white spruce in the stove. Just whatever was in the stack in the shed

 

Mines going in Tuesday for Lil stuff, they offered a special oil change wash and wax, check batteries tires fluids alignment etc etc for $250 including pick up and return.. That' a bargain and just to make sure I didn't miss anything, Cause I still a city kid that moved to country and got and a ... ever since.

 

-4F Burnin Ash like there's no tomorrow. Very comfy 74 inside, so no complaints. 1' of snow on the ground & clear skies. I'm bettin it's gonna be colder than the -5 they forecasted.

 

I have a couple of plastic tubs with ropes on them I used to use they don't hold enough wood, a sled would work good but there is to many cold days around these parts that there is no snow.
To me no snow is a good thing

 

I agree with that bet

 

Cow Hampshire checking in, -2, yawn, this is getting routine. It did warm up to 10 today, felt like a heat wave. Oak & hard Maple carrying the heating load. Burned some oil today as I had to stir the coals all day to burn them to ash for a cleanout. It is supposed to get cold next few nights. I'm burning hard and loving life.

 

-26°F here this evening in South East Saskatchewan. Above Zero F is forecast for Tuesday to the end of the week. My pre-war Enterprise cookstove can't keep up, so I'm running 2 small electric heaters on the other side of the house and the oil furnace runs about once an hour.

 

It’s crazy how much I’m burning and it’s not even negative temperatures. We don’t usually get temps like this but it’s been single digits here since Christmas, looks like it’s going to last for at least another week. Burning elm and red maple, and a lot of it! I have some white oak I’m going to bring in for tomorrow, supposed to be a high of 5.

 

-5 here now, feeding the beast Oak for the overnight.

 

-36 Celsius. Calling for -49 Celsius with wind chill in the morning. Birch for overnight. Cold as hell this last week
