We had a fire after supper yesterday but nothing overnight. We had 49.1 this morning with some heavy rains we needed so after the wife trimmed up what's left on the old skull, I started a pine fire.
We really didn't get any high winds so that was nice.

Snow showers today and windy. Half loads of elm and oak in the Myriad, as to not cook me out of the house...

Feeling the Heat
I'm currently burning red maple that's been sitting on my overflow pallet for slightly over a year and pieces were starting to get moldy so into the fire they go (and now I have room for the rest of my freshly cut locust!). If overnight temps threaten to fall below 20 I will toss some hickory in. Like Gearhead, we're supposed to see our first real snowfall this weekend. Firing up the snow blower tomorrow before the snow hits just to make sure nothing's wrong with it!

It's just a simple single stage Yardmax brand from Farm and Fleet. I use it to clear the sidewalks around the house since we live on a corner lot and have sidewalks on two sides.

It's 38 now with 28 for a low tonight. Another blustery day today and we had some spitting snow also. I got some good ole hickory going in the buck now. I'm soaking up the heat cause tomorrow mornin I will be perched on a ridge deer hunting. Lol this will be me!
low 50's here today. 39 right now. Aside from 1 small fire last week, I have yet to commence to firin' this fall. They are yapping about a change starting tomorrow night so will probably strike a match for that.
NOAA is calling for a low of 34, we're at 35.1 with a load of pine going in the wood stove.
I am back at the lake and woke up the princess with hemlock and couple of hard maple splits.
Boxelder mostly and a bit of cherry, I brought more wood in tonight, rat fucked the wood shed and dug out the not so good stuff since it’s still early. I imagine I’m hardly the only one who does this. Next few fires look like mostly more boxelder along with quaking aspen, maybe the odd split of pine.

Heat pump today and tonight. Not going below 40 at night for another night or two.

Running some big maple in dark box mode, suppose to have a cold front come through today and knock temps back to freezing tonight, hopefully the wind picks up and takes the rest of the leaves off the tree's so I can button up the yard tomorrow.

It was 26 this morning when I put a load of hickory and a post oak piece in the stove. It should be toasty when I get back in the house.
We had 34.1 this morning with another load of pine giving what it can for heat, I just loaded up again since I didn't burn enough yesterday.
Idling along on a diet of mixed hardwood. Been fired up since this morning and all of the dampness has disappeared. Very comfortable sitting here watching Ohio State beat up on Purdue after Michigan beat down my Nittany Lions.
3pm reload E/W (not my favorite), all hemlock, splits were too long for N/S.
We have 34.2 tonight with some pine burning down, the overnight load will be some nice hardwood.

Finally my first fire yesterday, a mix of cherry and ash. I worked in a t shirt 3 or 4 days last week, while it was nice I’ve been itching to get the stove fired up. 32* this morning and the dogs are all happy sleeping by the stove

Coldest morning we've had here at 34*. Burning sweetgum, white oak and some other scraps from the wood pile.

Fired up the stove this morning full of red oak and some black locust with outdoor temps at 28F. It’s been a blustery day today. Just coals right now, expecting a reload tonight of more oak and locust to carry us through the night.
Wow big guns already! It is only Nov 14th
I missed the overnight load since someone fell asleep the recliner so this morning the bottom row was all hardwood and the top all pine. When I came in around 2 this afternoon, I started a pine fire on some nice coals.
We had a temp of 30.4 this morning.
