What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[MRD1985]

House got down to 55F. Lit a top down around 2P so it warms up before wife gets home. Oak i'm pretty sure but i'm into a stack that got rained on so it's slowing drying out by the stove.

This stack of dead fallen is not nearly as good as the 4 year oak i was mostly burning this winter.

You’re crazy lol. My house is 74.

 

[Dieselhead]

Tonight/tomorrow daytime load. 1/2 hardwoods 1/2 softwoods.

Ha yeah, my woodstove room can be 80-85F when we are cranking it in the cold weather days (which was most of this winter).
We do love that too.

But I'm fine with it being 57-59F in the morning and even during part of the day until i fire up the stove.
55F is just past the ok threshold.

I'm with @bigealta .... my house is also on the cool side. Low 50s from last night's burn.
Ashes in the dragon now. Hardly any wood worth a burn left. Been doing 2 loads a night. One late evening and the other when my sleep gets to disturbed from the cold. Weather has been warmer and heaven sent.

It's almost spring.
We're almost "there."

 

[bigealta]

Yup good wood on the meager side here too. Got a lot of CSS ing in the near future.

Oak tonight

 

[Dieselhead]

This is it for tonight. Ashes and a couple coals from Saturday. I had the solar heat pump going today and it isn’t supposed to get below 40 tonight.
First night in months the stoves gone cold. 😥😆

Left last Wednesday and got home last night. Overnight temperature stayed in the 40's, so no fire. Today was mid 50's but going down into the low 30’s, so getting ready to fire it up with some kindling. Will be cherry, birch and white ash overnight.

I finally get to sleep tonight too! Mine is also cold, was nearly 70 today. Low of 37, but the mini splits handling things until probably Friday or Saturday.

F45's been cold for 4 days. 75.5 high yesterday, low humidity with full sun felt great. March reality sets back in starting Thursday with a cold rain, then next week looks to be quite cold for a couple days. So, stove cleanup and minor garage wood rack re-stock along with it endless tree and branch cleanup from the heavy weight snow storm.

 

[NickW]

33 degrees, light dusting of snow, only charcoal left in the fireplace. Firing them up with some kindling and first load of aspen and black ash will go in shortly. 3-6" forecast this afternoon and tonight.

 

[Dieselhead]

I loaded the stove around 530 AM. While it was warm-ish when loading (around 55) it’s now down to 42 as a front is rolling in. This will take the chill off until I’m back home tomorrow morning.

 

[NickW]

Morning load of aspen and black ash is down to simmering, will probably let it go out and start from cold tonight.

The snow from Tuesday into Wednesday turned out to only be about 2". Tonight to noon tomorrow we are forecast for 3-8" depending on where I look. Saturday night to Monday morning we have a big one coming but too far out for "real" predictions (if you can believe any of them...). One spot says at least a foot with potential of a lot more, another spot adds up to 17" based on the daily/nightly forecast amounts. I like snow but a foot and a half all at once at this point of the season is a hard to swallow.

 

[Crab]

71 degrees at 7am , 41 at noon.....some non-accumulating snow possible. House way too warm for a fire. Definitely tomorrow morning will re-start..

 

[fvhowler]

This week: 91 degrees at my place Wednesday and will need a fire by Friday morning. Basically, burning scraps and leftovers but my burn season is just about over.

 

[thewoodlands]

With the warmer temps we haven't been burning much but that changed this morning, five splits of ash went in the Liberty.

Last night we had 54, this morning it was 27 with some pretty good winds.

That sounds like WI weather... Heater on the drive in for the morning, ac for the drive home in the afternoon.

Well, it’s not been warm here, nor cold per se

Last couple days we’ve been able to have doors open because our big cat, Jupiter, is finally getting along reasonably well with the rest of our felines. So, I choose to leave many doors open to outside in case one cat needs escape.

So, the house is typically sitting between 13-16C/55-60F
We can cope during the day, but at dusk, I’ve been cold starting a fire n the Panadero.
Currently looks like

Typical mostly white oak and hazel

I’ve been hedgetrimmng this year along a section I haven’t done for about 5 years along with cutting a few overgrown trees next to the neighbor’s house. I was getting through some Blackthorn this week and I prefer to burn most of that as I go. Gotta be careful with Blackthorn and Hawthorn, the fairies require offerings and negotiation. I no longer cut any Hawthorn if it can be avoided. I was unaware of the little people before about 5 yeas ago. I still have a fair way to go with the hedge work…it’s mostly brambles, hazel and Holly with plenty of blackthorn and some wild rose.

We also had terrible air quality last week and I did not burn on the overly polluted days.

It was 51 this morning, now it's 36, rainy (some sleet), and going down to 28 or so.
The stove is warming up the basement, as wet colder weather leads to frequent defrosting on the minisplit, which I don't like.

 

[stoveliker]

32 outside, going down to 28, upstairs 70.
Reload with three splits and two small splits of white oak, two big splits.amd two sticks of ash, a stick of spruce, and two small splits of pine.

 

[AILDWarrior]

Getting pretty cold here, down into the negatives for the next week or so. I've got a load of sitka spruce keeping the house at 72, trying to pack it with larger splits for the longer, lower intensity burns. Looking forward to Spring at this point so I can split the rest of my birch and start stacking it for next winter

 

[MRD1985]

upper 20s/low 30s this morning when I got home from work. So loaded a half load of mostly oak.

 

[Todd]

74/29 woke up to 7” of snow with a couple more predicted this morning. I’ve been burning low and slow 12 hour reload schedules for the most part. Another snow storm for Saturday night but looks like the worst will go south of us. 1-2’ forecast down in central Wis.

I ALMOST had more wood weight in the F45 than you this morning. generally you have 2x or 3x more weight than me...Woke to 28.5F, heat kicked on at 5am step up to 68F argggg, promptly lit F45 which was pre-loaded last night. Well maybe not that promptly..... anyway had 1" of snow on roof of vehicles, muvh less on the ground yesterday late, it will be gone after today's sun. .
