Had our first really cold night of the year put three odd block sizes of three year old mulberry that just fit in the stove. Did this a 9 o'clock last night didn't reload stove till 5 this morning because everyone in the house sick, but was still warm around 77 in the room with the stove 73 in the rest of the house. Got to love really dry wood.
2+ year old doug fir so dry you can light a shaggy 6" split with a match and it will take off. Great for quick starting shoulder season fires and quick heat, but burn times are only around 6-8hrs.

Had my first fire of the season last night, high temps ,low oil and some house construction had me delay this burning season.
I am burning 100 % black birch 2 yr + ( < 15 moisture ) .

Raining and cold here today and I worked a job this morning where I had to lay in that cold rain water. Just got home, got out of the wet clothes, took a hot shower and got the stove fired up. Good bed of coals not and threw on 3 big beech splits. It's feeling pretty good in here.

Loaded both stoves last night. They're still going, but I'm not reloading them tonight. It will be 66F tomorrow, and 75F on Christmas Eve. Thank you, El Nino.

House at 60, after a 58d day? Were all your doors/windows open? If so, what was that address again?
So right at the moment my Woodmaster 4400 is slowly smoking away at some ash because it's nearly 60 degrees. But starting tomorrow I will be burning some apple for the next week or so. I have several cords of it and love the smell for when family is around.

41 degrees when I got off duty this morning. That's cold enough for a fire. Silver maple is rippin', coffee I am sippin', kids are sleepin'. Life is good.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone.

Burning Japanese Sakura (Cherry). The golf course on base cut one down last year and I scrounged the whole thing, split it and dried for a year and is keeping us warm tonight as it will be getting down below freezing here

Nothing but cold ashes in my stove right now. The EPA and local "authorities" have a burn restriction in place because our air is starting to look like it might possibly get almost bad enough to violate the standard. It's 8:40 PM and about 12 F outside. Looking to get to 5 F overnight. My furnace is running hard, sure could use a fire.

Everyone is breaking out the big guns already! It's not too cold in Indiana yet, 40 wet and windy. Silver maple is still heating the house nicely. I have about another weeks worth it to go.
It splits so nice and dries so fast I'm going to have to get some more.

White Oak, Ash, Cherry, and a piece of hickory...I'm not picky when I pull it off the woodpile ... and I was in a hurry due to freezing rain, so I just loaded it up for the night and won't worry about it till morning.

Splits of red oak and an eco brick. Kept the house warm all afternoon and into the present. About to reload the stove with a full load of hardwood for the night. We are into the 30's and I want to stay warm until the morning.
