What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[stoveliker]

Stove still too hot for a soot eater run. Turns out that in the 3" of ashes was a solid 2" of glowing coals.

So I used my cat poo scooper to separate ashes and coals. This (pic) is not in my stove anymore. The coals will be used to relight later on as it'll be 28 tonight. It already came down from 47; it's 40 now.

Went to the u.p snowmobiling with the wife, came home today, so a hot load of aspen to play catch up, and then probably a load of cherry.

Last night I ended up waking up in the recliner @ 11:30 p.m., I didn't feel like making a fire so I had made sure the pellet stove ready earlier that day, I made sure that was going before calling it a night.

This morning was in the low twenties so the pellet stove was shut off and the wood stove saw another load of yellow birch and maple.

We have a low of 32 tonight with it being 33 now. I've got some red oak, hickory, and a good size post oak round for the overnight. We will hit 55 tomorrow before the cold front comes in early Wednesday morning.

 

[Grizzerbear]

32 out this morning with more red oak and hickory for the heat.

 

[stoveliker]

29, windy, sunny. Still chewing through the oak branch wood from yesterday evening.

 

[NickW]

22 going up to 28 today then down to 2 tonight in the northwoods. Box elder and pine while I work during the day, ash overnight. Supposed to be -20 Thursday night. Warned the boys to get more wood in today at home for the cold snap.

 

[thewoodlands]

We hit -10.7 last night so I went with the pellet stove, when we had our first cup of coffee this morning it was 19.2, back to the wood stove after taking out some ashes.

It's still over 32 tonight so we'll go with the wood stove.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Its 19 out now with a low of 8 with 10-15 mph winds and a wind chill of -10 in the morning. I've got some red oak and hickory going for the overnight.

 

[stoveliker]

47 today... So I let the minisplit do its thing while the oak from yesterday night smoldered along. In the afternoon I added a piece of ash. I now reloaded with oak shorties that I'll have keep smoldering until tomorrow morning.

Tonight a low of 37. Tomorrow a high of 37, but around noon we nosedive to freezing, so the minisplit will then be switched off and the stove will take over again. (Tomorrow night a low of 16 is predicted and that will be lows for the next 5 days or so with the highs around or below freezing.)

 

[thewoodlands]

It's 30.2 tonight with it dropping down to 4, I have a load of Maple & Ironwood going in the Liberty.

 

[NickW]

1 dropping to -9 tonight with wind, so I'm under a wind chill advisory. Loading up with all ash shortly.

Hope the boys brought in more wood at home yesterday like I told them to or Mumsy will chase their silly butts outside in the cold to get more in...😆

18 outside, 70 inside, threw a couple pine splits on for this morning.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Its 13 out now with a wind chill of 1 but we do have full sunshine. I just put some more red oak in the buck.

 

[Ryan McGomery]

Red elm, elm and ash

 

[thewoodlands]

We had - 9.4 the last I looked, Accu has us having a low of -18 but I'm thinking we'll get colder. I ask the wife if she wanted both the wood & pellet stove going tonight, she just wanted the pellet stove so the old Yankee is going.

This morning before I headed outside, I started a nice fire with some Sugar Maple & Ironwood, the area the couch is in was 85 so for the first time this year, the heat made her come up here.

 

[fvhowler]

Coldest part of winter for us so far. High 29 tomorrow with some snow. Have been breaking out the heavy artillery...white oak to heat the house this week.

 

[stoveliker]

The oak from yesterday was done around 4 pm. I added a split of cherry, two crooked pieces of ash, and a 4" dia knotty oak branch. It was 37 this morning, 32 at 4 pm with 3/4 of snow on the ground.

25 now and a low of 16 F tonight. The next 4 nights will be in the teens with daytime highs in the 20s.

Reloaded with red oak.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Its 8 out now with a low of 6 tonight. I have a pretty god sized red oak round.....probably 6 inches.....and various other red oak and hickory splits in the stove for the heat tonight.

 

[thewoodlands]

We're at - 26.3 this morning and we usually get colder, the pellet stove is still going. I did run the furnace for ten minutes this morning.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Its 1 out now. A little colder than forecasted but the sun just popped over the horizon and we got blue skies. I just started a full load of red oak and hickory. We will make it to 29 today.
