Anyone Burning Yet?

Still nope . . . temps on a few nights this past week dropped down to the mid 40s, but the house has been holding the heat in from the warmer days. There's plenty of "burn time" ahead . . . I can wait.

I fired up the Napoleon 1400 for the first time tonight. July and August are the only months we don't use it. It's in the low fifties tonight.

Not yet.

Still in the 80s this week during the day, lows have been right around 60. House is still 72 in the morning. Lows are dipping towards 50 starting this coming Sunday but highs around 70 still.

It's been warm so far with moisture coming up from the Gulf. We'll see how October plays out but it averages mid to low 60s in the first couple of weeks. Might need a small fire first thing in the morning once that starts happening since I work from home and the wife and little guy are home as well.

I'll fire up my Lopi before the night is over. Rainy most of the day with a decent thunder storm in the afternoon. Down to 62 in the house, so it's about time. By the last week of September I'm usually burning on a regular basis. If the rivers would just open for coho, then both of my official signs of fall would be here.

Not even cool enough to get windows open at night. Like others, it is time to get on the roof and brush out the pipes!

After watching the weather looks like those in the PACNW area will be lighting off very soon, lots of cool damp rain with mtn snow, should be bitter sweet for you guys, bitter as in needing the stove, sweet because you guys have been so dry out there.

Begreen - do not be dismayed at your brown lawn. Between the rains and the month of overtime being worked, my front yard is a nice thick green jungle. Now the question, since you have two stoves would you fire up the Jotul 602 first, since it is cooler but not colder weather at this time? I have never met anyone with two or more stoves for their home.

We used to have two stoves in the house and yes, we would fire up the Jotul first for evening chill chasing. Now the Jotul is in the greenhouse and only gets lit when weather is very cold. The T6 handles the house very well now that we have tightened up a leaky entry and other spots. There are several folks on hearth.com that have two stoves for heating. They often will fire up just one stove until it gets winter cold.

Wow Kenny, you must have a smoooth yard. I could never pull off that loader bucket balancing act around here

on days like this, I love my LOPI...

I'm cooking dinner, I heard noises in the basement and came back down stairs and this is what I saw

Tonight's the night..... Low is going to be around 42 with a high of 60 tomorrow. The wife said she was cold and to get a fire going.

Couldn't wait.
Burned last two nights with the house open. (a little, windows open an inch)
Nice combo of fresh cool breezes and the warmth of the stove room.

Soon. Low 60s during the day here and upper 40s at night it's only a matter of time before the SO asks me to light one. It's getting to the point where it's noticeably cold in the fringe areas in the house (above the garage, etc).

For now, it's sweatshirts.

I refuse until the last weekend in October! But dang it's cold in here 64 and raining.

Na, that's my new bud I got from animal control in town

Kalkite, Australia? What?
It is supposed to be summer down there.
What do you burn, eucalyptus wood?

The state opened some of the local rivers for coho fishing, so it must be burn season. Fall is here.
