First fire in about 3 weeks. Will prob burn tomorrow night too but I think that’ll be it this year. Probably close to a cord. Maybe a little less. But i worked a lot this year and don’t like to burn unless I’m here. Good news is I’m at least three years ahead on wood now.
Tomorrow is randomly cold so we'll burn but we still have a little more time for overnight burns up here. During the day though it's mostly heat pump until the late morning sun kicks in. No need to burn when it's 40+ overnight.
The Pac NW is stuck in a chilly spring, much like last year. Temps are about 5º below normal on average with colder nights. The wood stash is dwindling. We are mostly only burning mornings now. The heat pump carries the evening and night load.
I think tonight will be our last burn this season. Stove was already down for over a week recently due to near 70 degree temps but I started it up again last weekend because of below freezing nights this week. Temps tonight won't be that cold but I will put a half load in just to take the chill off and I don't plan on reloading tomorrow.
This is my first spring with the electric SuperSplit in my garage. Snow squalls today. When I need kindling - which was this morning - the SS makes it as small as I want. One less start up hassle when I thought winter was over.
I have an overnighter going and tomorrow morning will probably be the last fire. Also tomorrow will be the first cut of the year for the lawn. It’s a new season!
I had my first fire yesterday morning in 2 weeks or more.. I let the house get cold so I could light the stove..I may have a small fire tomorrow morning.. I turned the thermostat down.. the end sucks
I'm probably done as it is and haven't burned since last week. It's in the 70s for highs and lows around 50. We have mowed twice now already and about to mow for the third time. We might have a fire or two left for the season but it isn't going to happen this week.
You gents Madison and FT Atkinson best not get too complacent. Temps dropping towards end of week with some lows a bit above freezing early next week. Typical WI weather, Like a yo-yo up down . Heck we even get snowstorms in May although not all that common. Course it mostly all melts away in a day or so by then.
I woulda/coulda burned today, but I vacuumed/cleaned the stove last week in anticipation of un-installing it soon, so I'm going to let the heat pumps carry the season. Time to get outside and finish bucking the logs I stacked this winter.
Fire tonight. Snow, windy, cold today. In 30s now. May be last fire. 50s tomorrow. Unsure about fire tomorrow. Amount of sun during the day will determine if I light a fire.
It was the end around here until this week decided it wanted to start off in the 40's and upper 20's at night. Needless the say the stove is back in action for a couple of days!
I haven't burnt in over 2 weeks now. I can't remember ever having weather this nice in April, we've had multiple days now without a single cloud in the sky, my solar panels love it, perfect production curves.
Even seen some farmers in in south central Alberta seeding this weekend, summer is approaching fast.
