We ran some pine fires today which kept the basement at 77 and the temp up here was 71. Tonight we'll run the pellet stove which should keep the same temps in the house, we already hit 14 tonight.
A few medium splits of willow, a little maple, and some cherry coals left over from last night/early morn burn. Plenty of four year old oak on hand, but havnt dugvinto that yet!
Finally some cold weather and burning some eastern white pine and some mystery wood that was stacked in the rain and heavy as heck last year, put in a dry shed and is now light as a feather . Was just a ten to twelve inch tree so there isn't much of it.
Finally got my gasket replaced just in time for the cold snap. I have some chunks of oak and hickory Im going to burn the next few nights. Ill save my primo splits for the real cold.
First burn of the season for me tonight. All ash thats been in the basement since April next to he dehumidifier. Stuff is like desert wood. I use propane til it gets into the regular 30’s for highs. The englander furnace is a cold weather beast, but she’s a little overqualified for the casual “take the chill out” burn. Looks like we’ll be burning regular for a while.
We have been breaking every record in the book in the past 24h. Heck with hemlock, out comes the hard maple for tonight. Will likely go back to hemlock in a few days.
Wood scraps and small pine branches...20 degrees outside and the coldest room (farthest from the stove) in the house is 69 degrees. The new siding is keeping the house toasty...
We had two this morning but the load of yellow birch and the pellet stove on a medium setting had the basement 82 with the temps up here between 69-70.
