True Confessions

[woodjack]

At the end of last the heat season I did not want to stop burning. If my house had the slightest chill I'd light up.
In the last three months I've adapted very well to not seeing a fire in my living room. I guess it won't last forever. Winter is coming, friends.

I fired my T6 up a couple of times in June and early July. Little chilly and very damp. I fired mainly to get rid of some of the dampness in the house. Weird but true ........

Same here, I had a fire in July and if the wife says she's got a chill the stove gets fired up. don't care what time of the year it is.

If the weather holds out we might have a fire going before Labor Day this year.


Has anyone noticed just how much shorter the days are getting? And the temperature this week has struggled to be in the 60's for our highs. Now with damp, sometimes that can get really cool.

I guess I wasn't clear. What I was trying to say is that as much as I love burning wood, I'm loving even more the warmth of the season and I don't want the summer to end.

This has been the coolest and most damp summer I can recall in my 32 years in middle Tennessee. We had a couple of weeks of mid 90s in June and a few days in July and August that would pass for "typical" summer around here, but other than that it's been strange weather. My yard is still as green and lush as it was in April/May! Now, I love a nice green lawn, but to be honest I was looking forward to mowing season winding down a bit. I'm also curious to see just how dry my wood will end up come real burning time.
