We had 31 this morning with a load of the maples seeing action in the Liberty.
You'll be near zero end of the week, winter storm coming Tuesday in the northeast so we can stretch our stoves out this week.

Normally, I am that way too. But.......you know
I have the cheater stove for backup (pellet stove) for these temps but once I see -25 to -35 coming in our best firewood will be brought in along with running the pellet stove.

Indeed, wood stoves are just space heaters. In my case the NG will be helping some.

Most weather sites are calling for a low of 17 but we're at 15 tonight, tonight the Liberty has a load of yellow birch going and the pellet stove has been off since this morning.

The basement was still 75 before the fire was started in the Liberty so we shouldn't need the pellet stove tonight.
 
It was 16.8 this morning, I took some ashes out and then started a nice fire with some yellow birch and soft maple. With the colder temps coming in tomorrow, we put in two loads of firewood this morning, it included hard maple, soft maple and some rounds of ironwood.

Cold start with high in the teens today. Load of apple and load of walnut.
 
Were supposed to have temps in the mid teens tonight so locust and ash will keep the stoves fed for the next day or so.

We had 20.1 this morning with a nice snowfall, we loaded up the Liberty with some of the maples this morning over coffee.

NOAA is calling for -2 tonight with a windchill of -22 so both the wood and pellet stove will be used.
