    -10 here in the shade this morning at 10:50AM. Had Ash in the boiler all night and burning up some Pine now.

    If we decide to take the kids somewhere today, to get out of the house and do something, I’ll have to switch back to the hardwood to get a four or five hour burn time.

    Sitting at -34 C feels -38 C, or -29 F feels -36 F currently. Running the oil burner for now. What a thirsty girl!

    Still in the teens here. Snow most of the day but really light. Almost stopped now. Roads not the best as there is still some ice under the fresh snow. But we made it to the city and back with no problems; just took a little longer.

    Can they even deliver HHO at -34 ?
    People with outdoor tanks around here used to have troubles when it got down to 0ºF

    They sure can! In the fall around mid or late October, they switch up the diesel/heating oil to winter blend. We've never had heating oil gel (far as I know) yet, but the oil burners definitely get more fussy in the extreme cold.

    I try to see the oil guy only once a year now.

    21 here, using some real dry cottonwood to burn coals down before overnight load of red maple. This has been css for about three years, and feels like throwing bundles of newspaper in the boiler, even cut to 30"-34".

    6f like a heatwave here but wind will go right thru ya. Yes it's warm enough to cut some slabs tonight. It's strange when you burn slabs you can cut them at any temp outside . Because you know a boiler with slabs in it house is going to be toasty warm .

    I wish! Actually don't mind -10 to -20 C all winter long, but this colder stuff grinds on a guy after a while.

    Spent the afternoon on snowshoes walking around in the woods. Coyote came to investigate the sound, and left at a run when it saw me. Found some blowdowns beside some logging trails, including a oak that will be dispatched straight away.
    Since it is going into the outdoor boiler, I will begin with the limbs at work all the way down. Should turn over 90 percent into energy.

    Going to hit zero overnight and might hit 10 as a high. Mostly have maple left in the shed. Will refill it this week with a mixture of things.
