Been so warm here for days high 40’s 50’s so no stove. Really don’t use it unless under 40. Temps 29 this morning so mix of red oak, maple, a few oak chunks and a redstone. STT 600 and cruising house temp was 64 when I got up since no fire last night. 70 now and climbing.
Had 13F overnight. Big cherry rounds have the house up to 72. First real heating day in some time.

We had 18.1 this morning after our first cup of coffee but the temp kept dropping, the temp finally bottomed out at 15.6. The sleeper temp was 69 this morning , up here was 70 and the basement 75.
I shut the pellet stove off and started a fire in the wood stove with three splits of beech and four ash splits. I made some spaghetti sauce for supper tonight so the temp up here is 73.
We were having some pretty good wind gust this morning with whiteouts, that all started just after 4 p.m. on Saturday and lasted throughout the night and this morning. I'm thinking the wind with the whiteouts cleared this area.

Wild temp swings here..just recently over night lows in the mid 20s been running 24 hour reloads of straight locust...thats been working out really well..I ran past the 24 hour mark this weekend while i was away seeing my grandsons...I returned home 27 hours later to a stove room at 71 degrees and plenty of coals to fire right back up..this only happens with the locust...24 hours and less with oak and way less with ash..

Very windy here today with a max of 38. Sunny, but not pleasant. Worked on an expansion of our garden for this year.
Now a 60 percent full reload with oak shorties. The low will be 28, and tomorrow will be 49. Likely the last fire, if the long term forecast does not change.
