More holly and pine. Here are some pics of how I start mine, hardwood bark and chips in the center with pine scraps around the outside, and "fireplace mode". I love having the screen on it, hearing the crackle and smelling it.

Still too warm here. 50F currently, supposed to drop in the low 40’s overnight. Heat pump will continue to carry us…. Good news, got the gaskets switched out on the Jotul. She is ready for some cold weather.

We're at 41 tonight with the first overnight fire going in the Lopi, pine.
Got a little bit of snow last night, had a fire of pine this morning and another going tonight.

Ash & soot. Never got to clean the chimney after last winter. Fixed that problem a few days ago. Just have to finish the inside of the stove, check the gasket, & firebrick. then the wifey will build too hot of a fire and roast me out of the house...

Had 37° overnight. Ended up with a moderate fire with some end cutoffs. Unfortunately, I had the pleasure of trimming my wood to fit in the new stove. So a bunch of end chunks went in. Have the same thing going now waiting for the Sox game.
It's only a couple degrees above freezing outside with 95% humidity, and been this way all day. Another load of pine in the stove.

We didn't have a fire last night but we did have a small fire this morning with the temp at 47, nothing for a fire tonight.

12 hour reloads of Aspen yesterday. Found out it was a little too much heat for this kind of weather.

We had a fire this morning (pine) and we have a cold front coming in tonight so I just started another pine fire.

We had 44.6 this morning, we had a pine fire while having coffee and the wife started another pine fire when I was out in the woods. They are forecasting a temp of 32 tonight.
The basement where the stove is has a temp of 83 and up here it's 74.

Feeling the Heat
I had shorts and uglies of elm and ash in the stove today, my wife said the house was 83 at around noon and she opened some windows. Big success lol!! Last night it was about 33 and tonight it might hit 32 or lower so the ash splits have come out. Weather looks good for 24/7 burning for the foreseeable future so pine/cherry mix during the day, ash splits at night if in the 30's or more pine/cherry mix for overnights that aren't in the 30's.

Norway Spruce, Black Cherry and some rough cut hardwood scraps, upper 40s today and damp. We will be flirting with the 50s during the day and 40s at night for the next month or so.
Highs have been 40-60s with lows in the 20-30s, another small system moving through next few days, still small morning pine fires. Really hoping for a good winter this year.

Just ashes. It looks to be pretty warm here the next couple days with lows in the 50s and some severe storms Sunday night. It looks like after that we may be in to more regular night time fires.

Nothing...my burning has not started. Still in the 80's here but nights are getting cooler. Probably 2-3 weeks from my first burn. The stove is ready, pipe cleaned, new gaskets, touch up on the enamel. All I need is cooler weather.

A dual purpose fire this morning. Baking the door gasket cement and stove polish. Secondly, just curbing my need to have a fire. Now maybe I can wait to start full force later into November lol. A few cherry splits and pine this morning.
Currently in the 30s, with the first of two systems coming through. More pine.

We had 31 this morning with more pine going in the Liberty.
Mountains saw some snow, raining down here in the valleys. It’s in the 30s out so another pine for tonight.
