What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Firefighter938]

I'm burning some sycamore that is well seasoned and some silver maple that was c/s/s Dec '14. This will probably be the last fire for a week or so.

Last night I did the same load and the house was 75-76* inside. We opened a couple of windows and let in some fresh air.

I like silver maple. Seasons quickly and produces a good amount of heat.

Nothing right now, to warm out

Switched back to some pine, poplar and I think a small split of beech.

Very warm here right now. 50's and 60's for central IL region is a heat wave. But....at night I've been burning through some dry tulip tree. This morning I tossed in a few sticks of black locust b/c I yanked down a few large dead hanging branches last night.

Temps are up to 55F here, today. A full load of white oak went in the stove this morning. When I get home, indoor temp will probably be 72F... the only effect of this warm weather being that I didn't need to burn wood AND oil to get there.

Too warm for me to burn until next week .

I have been burning pine all season long. I have an endless supply of it. As others have said, keeping the oak for the really cold nights.

Went to St Maarten for Thanksgiving so missed the really cold weather.
Just burned some poplar so far. But too warm right now, I'd have to have windows open.
(if HHO was $4/gal I'd probably have the windows open and the stove going )

Pine, pine, and more pine!! Stove top is at 650 and slowly dropping off, will throw a few more splits in in about an hour. To warm here to burn hardwood, I've gone through about 3/4 cord of pine and less than 1/2 cord of hard wood so far [emoji106]

Shoulder season has outlived my shoulder season wood supply so I've dug into my good wood though it's a balmy 37 here currently. I've got Ash and BL burning at the moment.

Looks like this mild weather is set to last through at least Christmas. No complaints from me!

Another fairly mild night here, pine with a cherry on top.

Same here the pine is great for these chilly but not too cold nights. I am going to stock up on more pine for the future.

 

[Ashful]

Pine is great for folks who have more time than oak.

Nothing here right now. Getting enough sun on south of house during day right now.

Looking at all-time record highs today and tomorrow.

Boo! Opened the overhead doors on the workshop today, which was nice, but I'd rather be by the stove and looking at snow.

I cut and split some small ash the last hour of daylight, today. It was so warm, I started sweating, and I wasn't wearing a jacket!

Nothing for about a week and won't be until the weekend when it dips below freezing again.

 

[Firefighter938]

It's 50 degrees, damp and windy in central Indiana. That's good enough for a fire for me. Right now there are two pieces of sycamore, one pine, one hackberry, and one small piece of mulberry for staying power. I've got some silver maple on deck for later tonight if it doesn't get too hot in the house.

What's in the stove? My hands as I clean the glass! It is almost 70 in Lake Effect Snow country!

a pizza box

 

[Applesister]

a pizza box

I cant beat that one.

 

[Applesister]

I dont know if Id admit to pizza boxes. But the stove is really good for hiding evidence. Lol. No beer bottles though.
That was a good one.
