What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[WoodyIsGoody]

Right now I'm down to coals but the cat is still active and cranking out the heat from a fire started last night at 7:30 pm. That's over 19 hours off a load of small-medium uglies I'm trying to get rid of. That wood had some crazy spirits in there. Here's the joker that came out last night:

My stove spiders have passed on. It got below 50 last night, and I burned off a load of bamboo and sticks out of the yard. Still haven't dipped into the firewood, but it's coming.

I think I may actually start cutting and stacking bamboo for kindling instead of throwing it down the hill. It burns nicely once it's dry.

So do rose brambles

It's gonna be another night of Poplar here...anything more dense than that lasts too long into the morning once the temps get back up into the 60s.

It could be hypodermic needles! Or plastic vodka half gallons! Actually, salt is worse. Pistachio shells have a much higher concentration of salt than driftwood. Salt has no easy way to leave the firebox once it adheres to the interior steel, it persists. Salt also attracts moisture from the wood to the steel.

Is it going to rust a hole in one season? Of course not. I just prefer to avoid getting it in there in the first place by putting them in my kitchen garbage.

9 seasons and the old T6 is still looking good, inside and out. Doug fir is what is in its belly tonight and for the next month. 4 splits a night are keeping us cozy.

Yeah, my previous stove lasted 28 years without needing anything but door gaskets and firebricks. It was a 2.3 CF 1988 Seefire EPA approved tube stove. Good stove but not in business anymore under that name. Came from Lower British Columbia. Maybe some other stove maker bought them.

I know, I got lucky.

When I stare into his "gaze" it seems like he comes alive! Be careful.

I was going to say it almost looks like a Ghost Rider figure to me.

Well, that's a good way to do your screen name proud!
Is it walnut?

 

[Cascade Failure]

We burned a half stove's worth of pine last night to take the chill off. I'm not looking forward to the cold but I will admit I like going through the process; there's just something calming about it.

Ran a load of tulip poplar last night when the outside temp dipped into the 40s. Today I'm splitting and stacking a dead red oak that's been down in my yard all summer. Should have put this thing into the stacks back in June, but the heat here in Maryland caused a major lack of motivation until now.

i have a load of maple, elm, and pine waiting for the temps to drop. its been 60 when I wake up in the house, but then it has been 80 outside, so i haven't wanted to get the fire going in the AM!

[WiscWoody]

[CheapBassTurd]

Shoulderwood.

Yes, lotsa cig-butts. LOL

I tellz mama, "See, the house is still a smoke free zone", as the smoke is
sucked right out whilst the firebox door is open.

No pistachio shells, peanut shells, nor sunflowers tho. U guys are funny.

8 month prego wife likes the house cool this year. I give it another week.....but then again I still have to put new door seals on and clean the stack......................

Ashes. Low of 50 F here tonight, and the next 4, then it's "All Hands On Deck".

Get load up the house this weekend.

 

[jetsam]

Spiders are moving back into mine. Got another week of 70s coming up. Not complaining!

 

[Ashful]

Had two fires in one of my stoves this week. Was nice!

Okay, I'm ready for spring, now.

Particle board junk. Figured they fit in the stove perfect so might as well use the heat rather than for a bonfire !

 

[NickDL]

So far we've been able to hold off. I wanted to start a fire a few days ago, but we were scheduled for our chimney to be cleaned. Now the temperatures are back up to the 70's during the day, yea.
