Couldn't hold out any longer...first fire.

Temptation was too strong.

Beginning

Welcome to the NEW wood burning season...

Time for a cocktail in front of the fire. Oh, I see, you've already started.

Enjoy

Yep I did one this morning also. First one just to get the chill off.

 

Same here, the Fireview loaded with ash to knock off the cold, damp chill

 

And take off the chill, it did. Still 71 in here, 52 outside.
Looking good.

 

I couldn't resist the urge any longer. 67 and damp inside 60 and drizzle outside
resplit some Virginia pine couple cherry chunks for later. Dogs finally stopped huddling around me

 

Let there be FIRE !!

 

basod your tough man my fire been going for 2 weeks! Mind you my wife had windows open in bedroom while sleeping last night and it was 30 this morning and freezing fog in mountains. made the highway tricky at 630 am solid sheet of ice in construction zone of course studded snows are in garage but the 40 mph in 50 sideways thank god no one was working all I could do not stay on road!

 

Just a lot cooler than usual here, plus it's been overcast & raining for what feels like a week.
just tossed another pine split on 70 in the hallway - at least I remembered to shut the AC off

Icy highways - sounds like why I moved south

 

OK for me, in fact glad it was me and not wife or one of kids without experience! I like snow but freezing clouds at 2500 feet takes a little been there done that... Got some angels in my corner and that's always a good thing,

 

It was foggy and a balmy 39 yesterday so I lit the Fireview and spent the day watching football in front of the fire.

 

Lots of "first fires" thread popping up
Sure is nice to see others burning too

 

Yep, you are not alone.
Had our first on Aug. 25th, Dave. Took several more days to have another. Still not burning like last year.
I hope it's a taste of things to come...........
