It was 5 degrees this morning with some maple going in the Liberty, the temp is at 26 today.
 
It's 34.9 tonight with a load of not so great maple going in the Liberty for the overnight fire. We'll be burning the not so great maple Monday and Tuesday but switch over to better wood when the cold moves in.
 
We had 36.2 earlier this morning, I just started our first fire. Out of the woods across town it's 45 but the temp back here in the woods is 39 today.
 
Some cold weather coming down from the north. Today miserable 5*C. Tomorrow miserable 8*C and tomorrow night bloody -20*C with the wind chill factor! Back to above 0*C by Sat. My stove is confused. Crappy hemlock.....sugar maple.....
 
It's 43.5 tonight with a junky azz maple fire planned for the overnight fire.
 
Still burning pine scraps mixed with pine scraps, and some poplar, pine, & cherry overnight so I don't have to stoke the fire after going to bed.

Stopped burning this week with 70* temps in central NC. Stove is full of Mockernut Hickory and ready light about Thursday.
 
Down to single digits tonight. Fired up the Vigilant with some Walnut and Ash.

We have a temp of 20 heading down to 12 so the Liberty has some hard and soft maple in it tonight.
 
More pine scraps and will probably put some pine and poplar in for the overnight.
Put some cherry and maple in about 4:30am this morning. The wifey turned the fan on the stove off around noon because she was too hot. Never had that happen before...

We had 12.4 this morning with some much better hard maple going in the Liberty.
 
It really cooled down here. The wind is wiping steady. It was hard maple for the overnight last night, followed by much of the same in the morning. Three solid splits of hemlock went in at 4:00pm to carry things over to about 10:00pm tonight. Then another load of hard maple.
 
What's is the stove ? Black -- Black Birch & Black Locust.
These are my primary species and both have all bark removed too. Enjoying the soft heat of the soapstone fireview.

Locust and ash temps going to be in the teens tonight. It was a cold one today at work we were setting steel for a big A frame. The wind was rough on the guys today.

We're at 17.2 heading down to 10 if NOAA is correct, I'll burn more of the not so great wood and set the pellet stove on the medium setting for the night. Tomorrow the first fire should get rid of the rest of the junk wood until spring.
 
Have had unusually warm weather in the 40s during the days which is about 10 above normal. Fires over night and some in the morning. Pine still does the job and the dog seems to approve.

We're back up above freezing for today and tomorrow, so I probably won't burn anything. However, cold air is supposed to blow in over the weekend, so I have a pile of ash and mulberry all ready to go.
