What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[all night moe]

Night time load of hardwoods are in and charring. I’ll have the ‘stat set at 3:00 and the fan around 40%. Low of 8 according to the weather app.

Not only the King, but a dragon slayer as well.

So much for a low of 8. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I dropped in a load of hardwoods before heading out to work today. I had a good 8” coal bed from last night with some lively fireworks courtesy of shagbark hickory. 😳

I built my house back in 08. If I knew then what I do now about wood heat I’d probably have something more like your setup but with storage.

6 degrees and 4 splits of pine and aspen in on a mountain of coals. Supposed to be a heat wave of 15 above today, so might try to get coal mountain burned down some and some ash out if I can get the inside temperature up early enough.

If you have any ideas on storage for forced hot air....LMK LOL

You wouldn't like my set up. If it was an indoor boiler I may like it a little more but, just a little. So much repetitive handling of splits.

I burn wood as it comes up in the woodshed and today it's larger splits of Leyland cypress. A light wood that doesn't produce long lasting coals and produces quick heat. I was paid to remove this tree and I cut it to fuelwood length for loading. Did I mention that I love to burn trash wood?



Interior and exterior chimney temps 18"(interior) and 25"(exterior) above the stove.

Ok I thought you had more of a wood boiler type of indoor furnace I got a walkout basement it would be tits to feed

Last night's 10 pm load of red oak is done after 14 hrs despite the cold night.
Outside still 24, inside 69.

Given that the warm up reaches 35+ around 6 pm, I added two small punky red oak splits and some silver maple splits before I let the stove go cold.

I can’t relate since I’m off grid and rely on solar power. At least we’re slowly on the upswing for daylight hours.

I mean just plain ol’ sunshine, we don’t have any solar capture devices at my place yet…it’s been continuously gray more often than not here…makes many of the humans grumpy

 

[ctreitzell]

Just rain here, since at least 26 hrs

It ain’t continuous, but it is relentless

Sun now at the other side of the horizon.

Again, it isn’t cold here
I put together a cold start to warn up the living room end of this place
Usual fare inside

The majority of what I burn is trash as well…I just never burn soft wood.

I suppose there are nuisance take-downs too…like the oaks the missus and I dropped a month ago that were too close to the house.
