What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Good Morning all!

3 sticks of red oak lit off a nice bed of coals from last evenings fire.

Yesterday afternoons hardwood load is still coaling along so I will let that ride for the time being. It’s supposed to warm up to around 45 with rain this afternoon and then low 30s overnight again so I will probably do a dinner time load of hardwoods.

Lots of cherry on this cold, crisp morning. A piece of oak might have snuck in there too. Some 700STT to warm things up. House held 68 to when I reloaded when I got up.

The dragon has indigestion of ash.
We'll see what happens in a few hours.

House was 71 with a load of cherry and black ash last night when I went to bed. Very light coals left this morning and 66 (which is furnace setting) with a load of pine and aspen ripping along. 22 and windy with a real feel of 11.

25* and pretty breezy outside. 6-8" of new snow. House is toasty from a mix of cherry and hickory.

First winter weather of the season. Got some sleet before it changed over to freezing/cold rain. Have a load of spruce in to get things started today.

 

[Pinesmoke]

Last night it wasn't getting much below 40 so tossed a couple of beech sticks in and let it burn out.

52 this morning and back to harassing a few electrons with the heat pump.

Stay warm y'all

Last nights overnight burn wasn’t my best, but I had just cleaned out the ashes, so I guess that’s not terribly surprising.

Shop was 52 when I got out there, STT and CAT less than 140. I was able to restart it with some of the coals and paper. Right now it’s got a piece of knotted pine and and two pieces of punky mystery wood in it.

Afternoon reload of some punky maple/oak, and some mystery pieces from the stack:

Have you stoked the dragon yet this season?

On and off drizzling rain with temps hovering in the low 40’s. Red oak keeping the Kitchen at 75, living room 70 and the upstairs at 69.

 

[Turbo89]

letting the encore go cold, CAT still sitting at 360 and STT around 400, shop at 72. Not a bad day burning punky / mystery wood.

 

[MRD1985]

House currently at 70. Had barely enough coals left to get this going from the load of cherry early this morning. Down to around 30 tonight. Cold rain currently outside. Had some fun playing Tetris with some big cherry, some oak and ash. Burning nicely so far.

17 degrees with a real feel of 3. Small load of pine, black ash and cherry went in around 6:00 to keep the coals alive for later. 3rd load of the day. Overnight forecast has improved to a low of 7.

You guys are sure getting some low temps! Looks like our time is coming this week. Thursday night low forecasted to be 12 with a real feel of -6.

7 Spruce 1 maple and 1 oak split for the overnight load

 

[MRD1985]

held off reloading until about 9 after I got the kids on the bus. 13 hour coals got the job done! Reloaded with more cherry, a little oak and a little ash. 33 outside, 71 inside.

Last night's load of black ash, cherry and 1 piece of white ash left excellent coals this morning. Loaded up with 16" black ash on cherry runners first thing this morning and that load is done already. Pine and aspen in now. Cherry and white ash coal much better than the black ash.

 

[Wildflush]

Just fired up the stove after not using it for two days since temps have been mild. Oak and maple. Getting very cold this week low 20’s, teens and 10 on Friday morning.

 

[Dieselhead]

I have a load of spruce and hardwoods topped with some bark kicking off now, will reload with all hardwoods before work tomorrow am

 

[MRD1985]

Oak, hickory, a little cherry and some ash along with a few cut offs tonight.

Looking good as usual! Go Pats!

17 degrees and rising slightly overnight tonight. Bottom drops out tomorrow night with sub zero actual temperatures (about -6). Let it cool off after the morning pine and aspen load, cleaned the glass and removed some ash, another pine and aspen load going and should get me to the overnight load.

Notice I only post photos after I clean the glass 😉.

The cats are enjoying heat provided by ash, cherry and 1 piece of elm.
