Do you let it get before you light a fire? my G/F gets cold very easily so we light a fire when it gets into the 40's. Plus we just love the fire. I admit that it sometimes gets hot in here, but the G/F likes it

when my wife and kids complain. during the winter if its below 68 degrees in the house they whine so that's pretty much the rule, if its 68 or below we light. shoulder seasons are a battle, as I hate to hear the furnace kick on.

I gotta tell ya I am NOT in a hurry to start burnin'
Once I get started it'll go til April I'm sure....
HOWEVER, If the house gets down to the mid 60's and the outside temps aren't expected to go past 60 during the day chances are I'm gonna be burnin' some boxelder or some such lightweight wood.
I keep the oak, hickory, apple, ash, walnut, cherry, and elm for when it's get cold!

Right now I am walking around the house without a shirt, and as you can guess I am skinny so it ain't cold. My G/F is at work and she told me that it would be nice to come home to a fire since I lit one this morning and she LOVED IT.
But I don't know if I am gonna light one. She will just hafta warm up by staying close to me (insert cheesy background music here)

My wife and i built a fire in our new Jotul F3 and we loved it. Burning only chucks of wood from splitting. Got a little warm but we opened the windows and it sure was nice. I think we are going to do it again tonight can't wait.

When our back up heat goes on we'll probably start a fire...it hasn't yet even though out side temp have dropped into the 50's.

BF was photographing the Tattoo Convention all weekend, I'm his assistant & our friends were in town for that.
Ya, those festivals are fun, Boston Tattoo Convention was fun too, even if it was work for me.

I see no reason to hold out as long as I can. I'm all about comfort, and I know I have enough wood no matter how long the burning season is.
Outside temps also don't mean much to me. Its the inside temps that dictate whether a fire is lit or not in our house. If it gets much below 64-65F, then I'll light a fire.

When the heat kicks on, or my wife is chilly. If I don't have a good wood stockpile, then it may be at 25F or even 20 F outside.

Doesnt matter to me what it is outside. The inside temps are still in the 70’s which means way too early. It will have to dip into the 50’s inside before any type of heat comes on including the fire. Probably at least another month.
