Stove Tetris

Full belly

 

That's a good stove load

 

lower two on the right are some black locust (was a dead standing top of a live tree from last April). Dark one on the left is white oak. Rest is red oak. All oak was 4 years old.

I need to split more square...

 

I'm jealous of the big stoves loaded with high btu hardwood.

 

That's a hot load

 

Left a little wiggle room tonight.

That should burn for awhile

 

It's only a 1.6cf firebox. I gotta use every bit of it.

 

I think ours is about the same size

 

Couple fir chunks and more crooked limb wood. Should be a quick easy toss and go re-light when I get home in the morning.

Working the nite shift?

 

Sometimes, moving equipment on the side job. The State Hwy permit wanted equipment moved at night on an off day. Moved all the equipment for the tower side in one swoop. Tower, hot saw and tether, shovels, processors, cats, everything, convoyed at one time.

Daughter’s home or I wouldn’t leave the stove going when I’m not around. Snuck in around 8, tossed in a few sticks for her, while I grabbed a quick snooze. 13 hour burn isn’t bad, but I still miss that old Fisher.



Owl

 

Kinda quiet lately. It’s nowhere near cold here so lighter loads are order of the day.

I gambled on making this one fit. Good time of year to burn the uglies and bigs. I have a bunch of fir that was from a tree service and it was cut much longer than I cut.

 

Been meaning to bring this back to life for a bit but kept forgetting.

 

I've been burning shorties of red oak. (And a stick of maple I see).

What was I thinking 4.5 years ago... (Scrounging anything I could to get ahead - and this was dropped for free, so I was happy. Now I'm less so, 8-10" pieces...)

Almost done.
