It's Christmas Eve! Do you have a yule log standing by?

My neighbor gave me a nice round from a dead Virginia Pine he dropped in his yard. He said it could be my yule log and that is exactly what is will be! Later this evening I'll find a way to get it in the Jotul and we'll watch it burn awhile. Yeah, I'll probably stuff the stove with some 4 year old hickory splits for the overnight burn but we're gonna enjoy this yule log and rejoice in how lucky we are.

Merry Christmas to all my Hearth.com friend!
 
I have identified approximately 7 logs to share the duties of yule log this year. Plan to place them into the Jotul at 10 pm or so.

And a Merry Christmas to you also!
 
Yeah. The Yule Log is split into six splits and burning in the 30 right now.

51F here right now. I may have to split it into a 6 pack and burn it in myself instead. :coolgrin:
 
Yule log standing by. Will be placed in the stove shortly. Merry christmas all. Be well
 
My Yule Log is whatever wood I have in the woodbox . . .
 
Birch yule log standing by here. As soon as the house cools down from the Mrs. cooking all day, it's Yule time. Merry Christmas everyone!!
 
The yule log has been placed in the stove

I've got a 2 YO piece of oak in the shape of a "U" 14" long (sorry taking care of Murph .. no pics, and it's gonna happen) That is earmarked for tomorrow. If yer lucky, I'll get a pic of it ;-)
 
Full load o' yule in the encore and a few in the fireplace in the den too :) 20 outside, 73 in here.

Have a merry one...
 
The 30 was full of logs, now its just coals. Time to reload it with Overnight Oak. May you all have a Merry Christmas in the company and warmth of loved ones.

Exactly BG, I had chicken, bread and noodles with a beer for dinner. Now we are burning a nice mix of hard and soft wood yule logs....
 
32 going down to 28. Flames rolling off the yule log (w/secondaries) with the kids (24, 21, 20) firing up Santa Claus 2 on the NetFlicks. All is well! Merry Christmas to all - and to all a good night!
 
Yule fuel burning now. 30 out and 85 in, with windows open. LOVE my stove !
 
The Yule log was chopped up into lumber, processed, and its lonely sawdust/shavings left behind were combined with other yule logs' shavings to form a composite yule log in briquette form. That is now burning merrily in the Jotul as I get the Big Green Egg crankin' for smoked turkey later...
 
I have a big ugly piece of Shagbark Hickory that I split into a few chunks. More correctly I should say I HAD such a log. It wouldn't stack well but burned great and lasted all night, so I guess that makes it the Yule Log for this year.
