Just did a middle of the nite servicing. She wuz getting bad.
Full cleanout, regasketed, cemented on all seams, and laid down
the sand base under firebrick. (hadda run the furnace.. EEEK ! ! !)
Coming up great n' hot on pine with red to follow for this 20 degree windy day.
(I'm a 3rd shifter so 1am to 4 am WalMart runs are the norm, even stove rebuilds.)
Gonna be on red, maple, and ash next few months in the meat and guts of winter.............

Burning up some year old fir, a few rhodedendron logs from work, some poplar my boss gave me ( he was going to burn 1/4 cord worth of splits in a bonfire to make room for new wood if I didnt take it) and some pallet chunks... Some cherry to top it off b4 I go to bed. My antique parlour stove is hungry its cold here in the PNW.

I like the smoke dragon term. lol
Mine was, but we run it clean and all sealed tight.
Stayin' on the hard n' dense stuff but did lazy pine and catalpa last two warm
and not windy days. Back below freezing again and back to the slow burn.

We're getting snow for Christmas!! and they've lifted the burn ban. Got a full load of elm blazing. Nothing like a hot fire to keep the fat man out of your chimney.

Burned through a couple loads of Tulip Poplar on wide open mode this evening to get the far reaches of the house nice and toasty, and to leave the firebox clear for the first load of 15% Shagbark Hickory...never burned this stuff before, so I'm very interested to see how it performs! Got 2.5 cords of is out in the stacks, so I'm hoping it's as good as everyone says.
The 91 is just starting to cruise on a load of hedge on the bottom, then hickory, topped off with red and white oak. Temp is 18°, NE wind gusting to 17 MPH, CAT right at 900°. Glass of Merlot in my hand, bird dog at my feet.
4 year seasoned red oak, easy scrounge stuff. Right now its a cool -16
out.
out.I just tossed in some more white oak and sycamore to settle in before bed, while the temp outside hit 0.
