What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[thewoodlands]

Must be up north. Nothing but rain down here...

We're getting heavy rain tonight, Accu is calling for 0.75 just overnight.

Full reload of locust - I didn’t manage it well and let it smoldered for 2 hrs while I was watching movie. Finally caught secondary now, need it to burn hot rest of night.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 37.6 this morning with the basement at 72, the living room was 69 and the bedroom was 68 before our first fire with another load of ash.

We had heavy rain overnight with some thunder and more heavy rains today, it looks like a day off from any firewood work outside.

Yep. Lost power 4 times yesterday. Last time was 10:00 last night and power just came back on at 10:00 or so this morning. Snowblower belt is worn out, won't turn the auger with the wet heavy snow, and the new one I brought is the wrong size. Heading home today, hopefully I can make it out.

Loaded up with oak when I left for work. Rain and a 43 out. Stopped burning 24/7 a couple weeks ago but still days I need to keep it going all day and night.

42F outside this morning at 8, 66F inside. Last night's load of locust still were semi-intact, knocked it down for a thick bed of coal. Reloaded 80% full of locust.

Hovering around 45~50F range next 24hours, warming up to 60F by noon tomorrow. Probably do a partial reload late afternoon and let fire go out overnight for a quick clean out tomorrow afternoon.

Dropped to where it is cool enough to have a fire. Back to burning pine & assorted uglies. The wifey is happy.
I also think I want to be a cat ..

We have an outside temp of 38.8 tonight with another load of ash providing the heat tonight. The basement is 72 getting warmer, the living room is 69 and just a guess but I'm thinking the bedroom is 68.

Wife wanted ambiance from stove so I’ve burnt lots of small splits and a few bricks of biobricks. Living room 70F now and outside temp steady 45ish next 12 hrs, so gonna let fire burn out as planned

We had 33.2 this morning with another load of ash getting reduced, the basement and the bedroom were 68 and the living room 67 this morning.

Temps heading down to 20s next 5 days. Cleaned out stove this afternoon and got a hot load of oak and locust.

Real fire for the next several days - regimented reload + continuous burn.

Temps dropping back into the 20's tonight. Burning some 4 year old white oak and loving the heat!

 

[thewoodlands]

Where do you measure the basement temperature, i.e. how high above the floor/below the ceiling?

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 25.2 for a low this morning, the basement was 70, the living room and the bedroom were 69 this morning.

We loaded up the liberty with more ash and a few rounds of ironwood this morning, we have some single digit temps coming in tonight according to NOAA.

We received a little over two inches of snow overnight, hopefully this is the last of the snow.

It's over on the coffee table in front of the couch.

Ok. I'll start measuring at a similar height as well so I can compare; now I measure at the ceiling near the stairs where the warm air goes up. I asked because my basement temps are often warmer than yours, but that makes sense this way.

Our high temp in the basement burning just ash is 77 to 79 during the night.

I always give the temp we start out with.
