What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

Our insurance requires us to get our chimney professionally cleaned. He is coming today
I didn't have a fire last night because the stove has to be cold.
I will have a fire tonight. It supposed to be close to freezing again.

26 degrees this morning 🙄. Have enough wood inside for 1 more fire. Will be gone this weekend, but I might need to bring a little in for Monday and Tuesday nights unless I decide to just let the furnace run. Already into what was supposed to be for next season and I don't have much for after that yet. Aspen and some small cherry & birch rounds going in shortly...

Going to be some major processing going on this fall once the new storage arrangement is set up after doing a bunch of landscaping to flatten out some areas and build retaining walls (after finishing the inside trim, finishing the boardwalk from last year, running power to the pole shed, fixing the skid loader, etc, etc, etc...)

After the chimney sweep left I lit a fire to take the chill off. It was 34° f this morning.
Same temperature prediction for tonight. Supposed to be raining and cold here tomorrow.
I have white pine and Hickory in the stove now.

Didn't think I'd be posting here until the fall. It was chilly after work yesterday, overnight temperatures in the upper 40s. Almost not cold enough for a fire since the furnace is running (a little bit, it references the outside temperature as well). But made one last night and this morning. It's going to be a damp day too, so I guess it's justified.

Do you have your chimney sweep do both flues, assuming you have one for the furnace and for the fireplace?

We’re burning a load of spruce here in CT as well. It’s not cold just rainy and haven’t seen the sun all day. The house was at 67 all day and this took the chill off quickly.

I have never had an oil boiler chimney cleaned. It is a 4 inch stainless liner in a 6x6 maybe 8x8 tile liner.
Never seen any build up in the liner when on the roof.

I'm my stove now is a couple of oak splits. Earlier this morning I had a half load of white pine burning.

It’s been very wet here for about a week… and more wet on the way this week, mowed all the areas I normally do and came in to requests for a fire. Again, so much more effective than elec heat and free for me as I have so much wood

Mostly white oak

 

[ctreitzell]

Ha! Me again…thick stone walls hold whatever the temp is…cold bridging

We been a touch on the shivery side here last couple days…and waaaaaaaaaay cheaper than elec heat

Again, mostly white oak

95 degrees here today . I’d rather it be cold!

Couple of cool cats hanging in the stove today, swap out getting ready for next season. Chimney swept, firebox deep clean (removed fire bricks, etc)

 

[MRD1985]

I won’t get to mine until some time in June more than likely. Slight chance next week. Maybe.

Me too - I hate that weather!

 

[Dieselhead]

Well…..

Seems like I needed to test out that new cat this am! Been out of town since Friday and getting home the house is 62. Rain and a high of 56 today. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Started a fire after church today. Kind of cold in the house.
We have pine and oak in the stove now.
Plenty warm now.
