Again this weekend here.

Interesting that in some years I've shut down the stove in early March which is only 3 weeks away

Looks like after this weekend I won't be burning much except for late-night/early-morning. March's forecast seems to be saying that this is it for winter. At least in the daytime.

What are those openings on the front of your wood bin?

There calling for a high of 10 tomorrow with lowes in the negatives possible. Then Monday 38, the rest of the week the same. The following week in the forties, just stacked a couple weeks worth of wood in the garage and just outside the back porch. Locust for the next couple days then maple and cedar for the warmer temps.

The one on the left is a fake window. It's just a picture frame of sorts.
The one on the right is where a dog could go in and out. This was for a huge african spurred tortoise though. Basically a repurposed dog house that looks like a shed with a lift up roof. It's got cedar shakes on the roof too . Once burning season is over it gets moved off the patio. Keeps the snow/rain off the stack as long as I don't leave the roof up.

I thought that was a dog door. How did an african spurred tortoise get in your doghouse? I guess filling up his house with wood would send him a message! I like when stuff is recycled like you are doing.

It was built for a pet tortoise. There was a thermostat controlled pig heat mat on the left side for the tortoise to stay warm on at night or when the sun wasn't shining. They are baskers but heat on their bottom works too.

Oh, it was a pet. I thought he was pretty far from home up in SE Mass.

I had to tap into the "good stuff"; I brought a cart load of Hedge in last night. Generally I have a hard time keeping up when the temps get into the teens but the hedge helps... I stoked it at midnight with a full load of hedge (inside temp was 70), woke up at 0720 to a good coal bed and inside temp of 74.

Threw another load of hedge in and I'll open the garage door in a bit to get some heat out there because I'll be working out there most of the day.
