What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

really the wife, I’d just grab another blanket.😂

Same.
One hard winter, years ago, I spent in a camper with no heat. Just to see if I could do it. I just sandwiched myself between 2 old school, heavy sleeping bags. It worked and I saved myself some coin when I needed to as a young adult.

In a sense, I wish I could do that now to save coin. LOL
Work's been that slow.

Woke the T2 from its long slumber. Haven't run it in a couple seasons.

An airy reload of two splits of oak and the rest some less ideal shaped maple.

26 outside, 70 upstairs. Will be warming up and most of the night will be 37 according to the forecast.
Tomorrow 47 cloudy and rainy so I'll let the stove go cold and use solar electrons in the mini split. Tomorrow night likely a cold start as the low then will be 33.

Tonight’s load of red oak, white oak and hard maple. Some BTU right there. 👍🏼

When I got home earlier it was 54 in the shop and some red coals for and easy reload. I tossed in a big maple and 2 smaller poplars. Gonna go fill it for the night in a bit. I’m sure it’s toasty out there now. Last really cold night for a few days here.

Good game of Tetris tonight, 2 big maple, 2 big mystery logs and some smalls to help it get going / fill the gap on the right:

Not the most impressive fire, but STT at 325, CAT about 1080 and still slowly ramping.

This afternoons load was just what the doctor ordered. Nice hot, steady burn. Brought the house temp right up in all rooms. Tonight, All oak with 1 maple and some cut offs. Finally will get above freezing tomorrow, plus I have work, so other than tomorrow morning stove will be cool after that and I’ll clean out ashes on Thursday.

Another hot one at 750STT

Post pics of the mystery logs see if we can figure it out. We just ask you don’t pull a log switcheroo on us halfway through 😂

Third pic down, bark facing us. The rectangle below it is maple, and the piece ontop of it is maple. I’m 90% sure the other mystery piece was ash.

I'm guessing Alaskan palm....

😂🤣😂 whatever it was, it wasn’t very good! Checked this morning and had a 90 degree stove and almost no coals. Shop was still 46 though.

I didn’t have time to re-light it, so she’s going cold for a few days. Good thing my wood glue projects look dry.

Burned some solar electrons today after noon when the maple of last night was done. It was 48 today for the high, but windy.

Took those dang maple ashes out in the afternoon while there was still some draft.

Now lit it back up with a small split of red oak, a small split of that maple, and a thin (axe mishit) slab with sapwood and bark on top.

Proper load later tonight.
