Who's our most northern burner?

Alaska dude in the Boiler Room burning a Greenwood - and another Whitehorse Yukon dude somewhere........you'll have to see who is further north!

Northern New York. 20 miles from the border. 0 degree it warm here in the winter, it sometimes get a little colder like minus35 degrees and it might stay that way for a week.

Let's get this going again. Lots of new members can add themselves.

tell your neighbor, im still waiting for that little red wagon <chuckle>

There is a chance that I'm furthest north, but I don't burn wood here - my woodstove is at a family cottage in Eastern Ontario... I'm going to replace the old Jotul 118 with a new 602... maybe when I'm down south at Christmas?

I'm currently living in Iqaluit, Nunavut (formerly Frobisher Bay, Northwest Territories). 63 degrees 44' north. You can't see the treeline from here.

However, I'm happy to report that there are a surprising number of people here who do in fact burn wood - construction scraps, pallets, etc... just not me, I'm living in an apartment.

But I think you might get someone in the Yukon, NWT or Alaska who's further north... the treeline goes much further north there.

The dude in the Boiler Room with the Greenwood is from Fairbanks, I believe. You probably won't get anybody farther north than that, but who knows? Where's Iqaluit in relation to Fairbanks, KP? Shoot, we might get some Siberian Ruskies if the site keeps growing this way. I work in Old Forge Deerlope. Where you at--Watertown?

Nope, I am 75 miles north of H20town. Norwood, township of Potsdam. Home of the Golden Knights, hockey team for Clarkson University. I am retired fro the State university of NY at Potsdam. I work 37-1/2 years as a pipefitter/ welder. Been retired now 5 years.

Fairbanks beats me. 600 miles from here. Fitter for 21 yrs now. Honeyell for 14 in the big city. Now a small local out fit for seven in the north.

Ok, so who's farthest south? I use to burn wood in Mobile, Al. Not that I really needed to.

My chimney liner just melted a hole in my igloo. Ottawa, Ontario, home of the wold's longest skating rink.

I know I remember ... well think I remember seeing a stove in the bar up in Chicken Alaska... I don't know if they have internet service up there yet.

Hello Man, I m from Scotland, on the same line north as southern Alaska, but not as cold. We mostly use Jotuls here, in our small, cold, stone built houses and I know that Santa uses a Jotul because he s from Northern Finland (I ve met him, nice guy) and his nearest stove maker is Jotul just across is Norway

I heard that once you get past 50˚N, there isn't enough oxygen to support combustion

Way down south in Nor Cal at 39˚20' here. A balmy 62˚F right now.

Spent our Honeymoon at a camp outside of North Pole, Alaska in 1979. Had a small box stove that I tried and tried, and tried to get lit- no go, just filled the cabin up with smoke. We stayed warm in the sleeping bag anyway :wow: . Suprisingly, the girl stayed with me all these years. :roll:
Pretty sure the Fairbanks guy is most northern forum member.

Hi Wilbilt, yeah thats true we get short on oxygen in the north, I think the alcohol makes up for it tho. Here its a sweety -2 deg C, blizzard and 95 mph wind, nice and warm for us. Are you in North Carolina?

My wifes at home sitting next to the Jotul 118, with all the logs I chopped for her, lucky her, me out making a living.

Hey Angus, I'm slightly north of you in Auchenblae, near Laurencekirk, spitting distance from the Angus glens.
I use a Dowling Sumo burning mostly local softwood, occasionally coal, and a brand new Harman Accentra running on pellets, with oil fired central heating as a supplement. Old house too, built around 1800!

Snow this morning.

She is indeed lucky. At least I get to come home every day from my job.

I'm in the Northern California swampland, enjoying an ale and the mosquitos

How about Trinity, Newfoundland? That's a ways up north but probably the deep south for anyone from Iqualuit or Fairbanks!

Hello Nacmacfeegle,
I currently offshore, hence the storms.
I live near Marykirk, not far from Auchenblae, I used to sometimes get my tea at the Drumtochty when I lived in Glenesk.
I ve never heard of your stoves, I m a Jotul man thru and thru.
I cut firewood nearby,mostly dead elm trees that had died from dutch elm disease, and I often get a phone call to take away trees after a storm.
regards,
Angus

I'm in Central California at 37N, might be in the running for furthest south... but I'm a mile from the always-chilly Pacific so I get a lot of evening use out of my small Avalon.
