Almost cold enough for a fire

[firecracker_77]

I could almost light a fire tonight...but it's a little warm even with all the windows open. Low of 58 degrees overnight. Low of 52 on Friday and Saturday nights!

Go for it.

Go for it.

I know. I should. My glass is so clean and stove are so clean. It's tempting. I could burn alot less fuel if I didn't prematurely burn shoulder season weather. This isn't even shoulder season. It's more like an intermittent cold snap...but I love it

Good time to breakin a new stove.

 

[firecracker_77]

I broke down and split some stacked wood. Threw in a couple small splits on top of a Supercedar and some scrap pine lumber. What a gorgeous sound I missed. Crackling and popping!!

I hear that all the time in my old bones.

No offense, I saw this post in "whats new" and had to chuckle. My central A/C is still running and the nite time lows are still 72 here.

It was 56 here this morning as well, made for a cool ride in to work on the scooter. House was still 73 from the day before so no chance of needing heat quite yet. Sometime in September we'll start into it.

I nstalled a new insert this summer and last Thursday I had to do the ol beak in fire and I just had to have another on Friday as well to play with the new toy.
I cant wait to run this baby full bore in cold temp, I think everyone that loves burning wood is getting the itch.

We talked about it the other night too. Chilly breeze off the lake, but the stove is all clean...we just shut the windows and it wasn't really cold enough to warrent making a mess in the stove...

 

[firecracker_77]

With the windows open, it's cool enough

This summer has been so hot and dry that it may be November before I feel like making it warmer in my house.

I would open the windows, and welcome some 50 degree weather after this hot and humid summer.

 

[firecracker_77]

Wet and very cool. Slow constant drizzle

Oh.

Got a bit cool a couple nights ago, but we just shut the windows.
Winter will be here soon enough. The burning shall commence in about 6-7 weeks. Maybe. Usually.

 

[Beetle-Kill]

It's 62 inside and not getting warmer. I just lit the stove.
Go for it. It's there to keep you warm , not collect dust.

 

[BrotherBart]

Down to 73 outside at ten o'clock and with the sudden shift to low humidity it feels chilly outside. Been that kind of summer.

I have a beautiful secondary going in the firebox. Wow! I missed this view so much over the last 3 months since last firing. Even if I have to wait another couple weeks till I can burn regularly, it was well worth lighting tonight just for that alone.

 

[woodsmaster]

It wont be long boys. I've been burning a fire every 4 days for hot water so all I have to do for heat is turn a few flow valves.

It'll come soon enough. AC's running right now. Humidity still abounds.

But the acorns & leaves are already falling, and the horses are shedding out their summer coats (that's scarey unto itself considering it's August).

I'm ordering 2 more loads of firewood, just to be on the safe side.

I try not to rush the seasons . . . we're still swimming here in Maine and running the air conditioning. Fall will be here soon enough . . .

For the record . . . I've already seen a swamp maple (typically red maple) turn color in a low-lying area.

I know it's about time to burn because there are stoves in my Menards Flyer. A good deal on Pellets and on their Pressed Bricks. Not horrible deals on a couple of Drolet stoves and even a reasonable Secondary equipped "Stove that must not be named"

Yup, I'll be lighting up pretty soon, i guess.
