Today I fired up the stove and it is sooo beautiful outside in the high 50's today and into the 30's tonight. This makes me so happy !

We're dipping into the 40's at night......getting closer, but not quite there yet......
Lucky SOB!
My stove is still sitting on a pallet and probably will be for the next 3 weeks.....
Patchy frost forecast for tonight here. I'll probably start a small fire to see if I still remember how.
Started a fire about 3:30 this afternoon, and the house is now about 70. I may do another before bed, but if not, I'll probably have one in the morning.
Forecast for close to freezing tonight.

Feeling the Heat
High winds, downpour rain, but 75 here. Might cool off tomorrow.
We're trying here pete, just not cold enough inside yet. I'm hoping tomorrow night, since the temps will be in the low 40's. Crazy but yesterday it was 71 and my one neighbor had his going.....

Feeling the Heat
It was down to 32 deg at 4:30 this morning. I Built a small fire to take the chill off and by 3:00PM the fireview was still 250 degrees and all the windows had to be open. I love this time of year.
40's in MO tonight and I just lit my all rebuilt totally pimped out 264CCL on the 2nd floor. Burning like a champ but the paint fumes smoked up the the 2nd and 3rd floor for about 20 minutes. Glad shoulder season is arriving
Been in the 40s at night here for several weeks. Some mornings its been in the 30s. We'll have snow on the ground in 2-3 weeks I'd expect.
Nate I want snow so bad right now we are sick of the extreme heat ! It was a record breaking summer everyday for three months straight for heat over here. The cold is so nice and welcome !

Got up for work this morning the car stat said 37 outside, I would have fired up the insert if I where home.
I'm toying with the notion of firing up the ol' 1900p this weekend, with lows in the upper 30's being forecast. Trouble is I recently remodeled our home, and went all-out on the insulation...........that house takes FOREVER to chill down. We'll see what happens.

have a fire in the stove this morning. Woke up to 40
outside and 67. I thought I would have a small re-learning curve with my second season but it's just like riding a bike.

I figure I have at least a good month before I light up. 68f in the house this morning, ideal for me.
As much as I love the winter and snow . . . I can wait to fire up the stove . . . sure it has some appeal during this time of year . . . I would be lying if I didn't say it was a bit fun to fire it up during this time of year . . . but usually by the end of April or May the "fun" of starting a fire has lost a bit of its appeal.
. . . plus I still have a bunch of things I want to do around the house . . . including putting on a new roof which I just discovered this past weekend when I discovered that my so-called 30-year shingles are losing their top coat of granules after 17 years or so.

X2, No rush here to fire up. Burning 24/7 all winter loses its appeal right about February.
Woke up this morning and the house down to 70 inside.. It is forecast to get colder outside tonight so i may fire the stove up tonight.
Christmas just isn't the same around my house without a warm fire in the stove.
One of my favorite pictures of my kids is one of them sitting around the woodstove on a cold late-December morning eating their breakfast. You're right Pete........it isn't the same without a warm, cozy fire around Christmastime. I don't get tired of burning in the woodstove til around April. That's when I've had enough. And that's about when we start cooking outside on the ol' keyhole pit on a weekly basis!
