It's 37.9 tonight with a load of ash going in the wood stove. The basement is 74 heading up, the living room is 69 and the bedroom is 68.
 
I'm not sure of the temp this morning but the wife wanted a fire so we did, it's still 71 up here and it's raining pretty hard.

We have a temp of 47.3 tonight with another load of ash going in the wood stove. The basement is 72 at the moment, the living room is 70 and the bedroom is 69.
 
29 going down to 24 in the northwoods. Load of ash, beech & birch going in the Strattford II. 75 on the far side of the Great Room where the fireplace is, 69 down the hall where the bedrooms are. Mornings have been a small load of mixed hardwood and softwood then the solar gain is enough until the sun goes down. Rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow coming M-W; so may burn more.

It's 32.4 tonight with another load of ash going in the wood stove, it's 72 in the basement and 68 up here.
 
Fired up stove this morning with a few locust splits and oak kindling. 43F outside and 61F in living room. About half load total, fire good till early afternoon. This week high 50s, low 30s, and I’ll be home - so a fire each morning as primary heating for house.

We had 28 this morning with another load of ash going in the Lopi Liberty. The basement was 70 and up here was 67.
 
It's 30.7 tonight with the temp up here at 70 and the basement at 74. The overnight load is another load of ash.
 
We had 23.2 this morning, up here was 68 and the basement was 70, another load of ash went in the Lopi while we had coffee.
 
Started the stove at 53 F this afternoon. 48 F now, 36 F for a low. So a start with a few punky pieces of cherry and an 80 pct load of oak for overnight and however long it lasts tomorrow. Not according to my rules (24 hrs below 40 F needed for the stove) but I missed it...

Yay, Sunday and Monday night it'll be 29 F. So more fire in the near future.

This morning was 28F outside / 60F in living room. Burning down a half-load of biobrick and locust. Temperature gonna be cruising high-30s and low-40s for next day and half, I'm going to burn continuously until tomorrow night.
 
Its 41 out now with coals from a load of post oak and red oak from this morning burning down. Looks like we will be down in the 30s for lows and highs of 40s for the next few days. Had to take off work today because my oldest daughter has the flue. She seems to be doing pretty well today though.

Slowly running down the load from last night. Still heating the upper floor to 69 F. Will let it go cold when this is done. Sunday afternoon, I'll relight, with the last reload Monday night (so heat until sometime Tuesday). A 27 F night they predict now --> Real fire :)
