What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[fvhowler]

After a warm spell in NC, dropping to the 20s tonight. Post oak, American Holly and Dogwood will keep us warm tonight.

Another overnight load of hickory and maybe oak. Outside temp 32, 68 inside, STT 280, CAT settling in a 1220, air a crack past full closed.

Well, back to winter. Haven't lit the stove in the last few days but we're back in the 20's and the wind is fairly nasty out there. Mix of maple, oak, and a split of osage for good measure for overnight.

34 feels like 21 outside; storming.
70 upstairs.
A reload of some bent oak pieces over a layer of coals too much to rake forward, but I want to go to bed. In hindsight, and in view of what was still burning now, I think that one split I thought was spruce, was something else.

Have not had a fire in a while. It’s been too warm. Got my stove set up to light tomorrow morning as it is going to be cold
tomorrow. Well cold for here that is. The wood is probably some sort of oak.

 

[NickW]

9 degrees real feel of -6. Cherry, white ash and beech.

20 feels like 7
65 inside right now and warming. Oak and maple doing it up right!

The winds did not quit last night down this way, that is for sure! I woke several times expecting to hear the generator running or at minimum clocks blinking 12:00 🤬. How was it up your area?

6ºF with no wind (thank goodness!)
Stove burning hickory & oak

 

[all night moe]

Served the dragon breakfast. Was awakened 4 times from her grumbling for food last night.
This morning she was fed a piggy in a blanket.

2 big triangular splits of ash. Place first so they formed a valley. In the valley a very dry 4x4 split of red oak. On top of that 2 more ash splits. topped with 1 black locust slab. All served on slathered coals.

I have a wheel barrels worth of tat super dry oak, and I'm trying to conserve it. At least there's more outside to gather. About to more wheel barrels.

Are we there yet?

 

[Todd]

8/73 with 5 splits of Red Oak or about 25lbs. Nice lazy flame floating above the load.

 

[Dieselhead]

Are we there yet?

according to my calculations, NOPE! 🤪

 

[MRD1985]

24 with a real feel of 9 when I woke up this morning. Still had tons of hot coals. Loaded with some big knotty oak, some ash, and maple. 775STT to warm things up quickly. At work today so unless wife reloads it’ll be cold tomorrow morning.

 

[Turbo89]

Came out to a STT of 280, and 60 degree temp after over night teens.

Getting her back up to temp with some maple and ash. Outside air temp 21 and windy.

Glass is filthy, but running low and slow for the last few days will do that.

 

[NickW]

3 above with the real feel at -8. House is still 68 degrees and nice coals in the Stratford 2. Another day of a couple mixed loads of pine, aspen and black ash followed by the overnight of cherry, white ash and a premium or 2.

Windy, Very Windy. All Night and all day so far. The feels like is still single digits. The weather folks are saying 18-20mph sustained with gusts to 50mph. So far so good here. But I'm sure there has to be outages around the area

Sounds like a good d day to throw wood at the fire and enjoy not being outside

After 80 on Saturday it's winter again, 22 when I hit the coffee pot this morning. I was lazy last night and didn't grab this morning's load. Stepped out into the breeze for a bunch of pine splits. Coffee and some time and the rock is toasty.

Stay warm y'all, especially you guys up in the real winter weather.

 

[Riff]

Currently sitting at 27F with a real feel of 19F. Load of maple in the stove is taking the chill out of the air. Bright and sunny right now so we should get some decent solar heating today, too.

 

[stoveliker]

30 outside feels like 20; still very windy.
Last night's 10.15 load is done.
I added 4 small shorties.

 

[ctreitzell]

Yep, here too
Yahoo sez 32F / RealFeel is 20F (-5C)

Inside with one elec rad on 1Kw is around 13C/ mid 50sF

Started the Panadero today at 1700 after fitting á new Bosch Washer (the old 13 yr old Bosch needs some repair)

Heated up some chestnuts and soup once it got up to temp

Mostly white oak today…a few chunks of Siberian elm

 

[Turbo89]

Just tossed a couple maple splits on to keep a coal bed for later. Currently 21 outside, 68 inside, STT 350.

 

[weee123]

3 chunky pieces of red oak in

Another hickory night, CAT was a bit sluggish coming up tonight, guess I need to empty the ashes tomorrow:

 

[NickW]

0 degrees, temperature was supposed to rise overnight but it keeps dropping. Stuffed full with cherry, white ash and 1 hickory.

Wife had me lower the thermostat setting downstairs because the utility bill was too high and it seems like the main level with the fireplace is harder to heat. I suspect a lot of the heat for downstairs was coming up the stairwell and helping heat the main level. Need to get the interior doors purchased and installed.

 

[stoveliker]

26 feels like 16 outside. Fluctuating between 26 and 28 overnight.
70 upstairs.
Red oak shorties and two longer spruce splits.
