Low headed for single digits, more mahogany in the line up. Then pine for a few days and back to mahogany as the lows are hitting negatives.

Feeling the Heat
Birch is such a wonderful smelling wood when it burns, make sure to save some for burning when you're around to enjoy it!
A half load of cherry, currently 34 out, I’ll let it die out and do a full tonight

Burning Hunk
38f this morning and misty, a few splits of Sassafras getting about 7hrs on 3-5 splits depending on size. Trying to learn the new stove and not melt it, is amazing what dry wood and modern technology does to supply heat from the probably the worlds oldest heat source!
We had 31 this morning, after our first cup of coffee, I started a fire in the wood stove with some Cherry firewood. I just started another fire with Cherry but might just run the pellet stove later on for overnight heat.

Burning Hunk
Mid 30s with mixed precip, trying our first full load of oak, ash, and sass for tonight. Loaded at 9:30. I put it in on a full bed of coals, engaged the cat and lowered the air to low. See what sort of burn time we get out of this stove.
We had 30.5 this morning with another load of Cherry going in the Liberty.
We did put in more Cherry and about 12 rounds of American Hophornbean before the rain comes in.

We got up to mid fifties today. It's 41 now with a cold front blowing through. It's been really windy all day and we are going down to 22 tonight with wind gusts of 30mph. I got some black jack and hickory going in the stove right now and I will probably be burning that for the next few days. It's looking like our coldest air yet is coming in for tomorrow night with a low of 13 with negative wind chills. Looks like I'm finally going to let the stove really rip.
Stuffed some Osage in tonight. Guessers are say around 10* tonight with winds up to 45mph & around 15* tomorrow so I will load with Osage tomorrow also.
A little sugar maple right now, probably more later maybe mixed with beech. Tomorrow night's supposed to be down to 6F, so probably a higher percentage of beech.
9F actual. 34mph wind for a wind chill of -16F. 72F indoors. Reloading Elm in a hour or so to fend off this cold blast!
A mixture of red oak and hickory because that's pretty much all I have in the wood pile. We're in the mid 30's but my fire is mostly for my own enjoyment and not so much heat.
ETA: Just found some cherry in the pile too.

It was 33.2 out the last I looked, I'm not sure if I'll go with the wood stove or pellet stove on a low setting.
Lows are supposed to be around 24° tonight. 31 right now. The wind is hammering though. I just stuffed the stove full of red oak and hickory. 73° inside right now. The weather here is so weird. It was 65° degrees today and suddenly the wind started whipping and rain started falling along with the temps. Seems to happen quite often here. When cold fronts come they let you know.

Currently 23F, calling for a low of 16 and gusts up to 35 mph, tomorrow a Christmas Eve high of 26F. This is the first real winter weather we've had. I've got oak and hickory in the fire, and a couple large splits of locust for over night burning standing by. Our wood rack is on the slim side for this winter, and this is what I've been holding back for.
