    I stuff it before I go to sleep usually, and sure did last night, was in the 30s. Difference is I'm using some semi crappy wood so it works well for this phase of the season. After a few weeks though, I get into the "good stock" of red oak and maple for the rest of the winter.

    40 is a really nice temperature for splitting wood. Very enjoyable. Good luck.

    It still seems way too early to see a load like that going into a stove!

    Can't you back off a little? Please?

    :D
