Woke up to 36 this morning so I put a medium load of post oak in the stove.

25* this morning headed to 50*, had some nice coals from the Osage, I threw some oak scraps & a couple chunks of Siberian Elm in.
34 this morning with 56 in the house (haven't had a fire since last weekend) . So I had to get the stove going with some sycamore and white oak.
Woke up to 72° indoors, 36° outdoors, and the delightful glow of the remnants of an overnight load of red oak in our 91 battleship. Spread the embers around and reloaded with.......another finely aged load of red oak. Don't know what the rich folks is doing, us po folks is doing fine.
We had 34 this morning with another load of pine going in the Liberty.
34.5 tonight with a combo of hardwood and pine going in the wood stove.

Its 37 now with a low of 30 forecasted. I got a load of red oak going for the night.
It was 27.7 this morning with another load of pine going in the Lopi.
36 now. Another batch of Elm staged and ready. Still 71 indoors. Guess it's not a hurry!
Going to load some Walnut & Siberian Elm in later tonight, calling for anywhere from 6” - 12” of snow tomorrow for Southern IA & Northern MO.
It’s gonna be a mess. I’m glad I went turkey hunting 1st season instead of 2nd.

Last 3 nights was oak, and cherry during the day. Tonight and tomorrow day and night will all be cherry. I need to cut some more cherry, down to my last cord!! Probably won't run the stove this weekend since high temps are predicted to be over 55 and likely won't be burning most of next week as its predicted to be in the 60's.
I've been burning some garage dried walnut cookies that I thought I was going to turn into tables. It turns out end-grain wood is NOT for beginners. So I am burning walnut for the first time, and I am AMAZED. This stuff coals up SO nicely. I can get 6 hours of heat with 2 small ash splits and 3-4 chunks of this walnut from the PE Summit LE. The fire is easy to control, and even after 6 hours the coals are hot enough to light up quickly.
And it burns SUPER clean. My ash and locust do not burn nearly as clean. Almost no ash accumulation from burning for 5 days, still less than 1" in the stove. I'm super excited to burn up the rest of this tree over the next few years. Minus the pieces I pretend to turn into furniture of course.

The last two mornings we had just over 24 and 25 degrees with a mixture of pine and hardwood delivering the heat.
After 13” of snow yesterday, it’s about all melted back off now. Loaded some Walnut & Siberian Elm in for tonight.

In Wisconsin are struggling through never-ending sprin-ter. Today we will get to the low 40s, about 15 degrees short of our average high.
I have a good stock of wood in the house so it's not a problem. Morning and evening fires keep the house warm. Today I have some oak and some ash in the Caddy! I really love the wood fire, but it is time to get some nice weather & open the windows. Really, it is.
