I've been burning some apple lately, but it does leave a lot of ash. Clinkers too. It's that 50yr old wood I was left with. I thinks it's dry. Is it the apple, or age, not sure.

I'm not sure what the temp was this morning but it's 44.8 this afternoon, we have some pine going in the Liberty.
The Apple I've been burning is well seasoned and doesn't seem to leave any more ash than well, Ash. Does leave more than say OAK though. Supposed to be middle of the road as far as BTU's.
Sounds like some of you have had some mild temps. I’ve had quite the opposite, actually unseasonably cold here given the last 6-7 years. The temps here plummeted after the storm about 2-3 weeks ago with negative to single digit nights and highs of 0-20s. I did have a brief spell of warmth where we had teens at night and 30s during the day. But we’re back to the cold snap. Have had freezing fog last 2 days after another system rolled through; woke up this morning to -2 out house was 71 highs in the 20s with the wind chills making that singles-teens, and that’s occurring for the next several days again until another system moves through. Okay enough meteorology.
Been busting into the hardwood pile much earlier this year, good thing I had a decent stash of that elm. Tonight was mostly pine and a dash of elm again. Currently 9 out house is in the mid 70s. The master stays much cooler as it sits behind the stove and our curtains aren’t really anything more than decorative. Yesterday morning when I woke up, even I was a bit chilly so I checked and the room was in the low 60s. So I’ll be buttoning up on the window loss and see what that does.
On a final note I caught some decent secondaries and glowing.

Yah it was cold over here in pa about a week or two ago but warmed up. I can't stand when it warms up unseasonably. I've never realized NV got so cold but it makes sense. This forum is so neat being able to talk with people all over, so much info.
Yeah agreed. I’m up in the northeast corner, we’re nothing like Vegas (in any way) so while my summers are desert like, The rest of my seasons are still there also.
Temperatures have been on the warmer side this last week. Used the opportunity of 50F yesterday to install a cast iron key damper to keep the heat down in the new 36' tall, 8" chimney on the Brunco WC190. Also cleaned out the circ blower. Found it was over half plugged with some random paper that had been there since before we bought the house. Much smoother and quieter now!

We had 35.1 this morning with more pine going in the wood stove, we had 67 up here before our fire this morning.
It's 70 up here at the moment, I made some spaghetti sauce for part of our meal tonight so the propane warmed things up pretty good.

I relighted the stove. A low of 33 F tonight. A Pine and oak mix.
Burning down the coals currently, then more cherry and ash for tonight. I also am going to have to bring wood in after the morning’s load
Same as @sweedish... Just finished burning down coals with some bark, loaded the Stratford II with ash and cherry. 14 degrees out here in the WI Northwoods. Assuming the missus has the NC30 loaded with ash at home...

Accu is calling for a low of 19 tomorrow morning, I'll go with a load of ash for the overnight load. The temp up here is between 69 and 71 depending on what room you're in.
It looks like the overnight temps for the next 4 nights will be dropping below 20 so we'll start getting more ash in along with more pine that will be for some fires during the day.

Ash going down to mid 30s tonight. Saving the Oak for below 20.
Currently around 10 out but will warm up a bit as we’re getting some moisture in the morning. A load of pine in for tonight.
