What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[johneh]

We had frost last night and today did not get above 45
No fire in the wood furnace but the pellet stove is on
keeping the house at a comfortable 70
Frost again tonight

Taking advantage of the 53* with a nice breeze. Red oak.

Mini split warming the house. Nice fall evening for fire outside. Maple, pine and ash branches.

64 max here, clear sky, and very breezy. 56 now, going to 50 minimum tonight. No heat needed.

Collected a lot of branches from the lawn for the fire pit. Too windy for a fire now though.

I actually had to put mine out, the wind was really whipping embers around even with the screen on. Didn’t want to wind up on the news for a mini forest fire.

I'm going back and forth between having a campfire outside or firing up the Stratford II inside. It was in the 30's last night and cold by the campfire. Tonight is only going down in the 40's, but the cabin feels a little chilly...

I vote for both. More fire is better... 😜

A short camp fire so you don't get too cold, and then a good warm stove inside.

Just kicked off the first break-in fire of the season with a few pine scraps. Down into the 40s even early in the evening. Would have been a good evening for the outdoor fire pit instead if it wasn't so windy.

 

[NickW]

We've got crappy weather moving in, campfire wins because I won't be able to have one for a few days...

48º at 10:30pm, that's more like it - feels good. How it should be for fall. Will put away the fans and probably set up the firewood holder near the stove tomorrow, Not sure about a fire yet.

 

[Riverbanks]

Three pine splits, na, that didn't do it, three more splits of poplar. The dog is happy, back to her spot

What's in my stove? Well right now it's ashes from any mail with sensitive info like account numbers and such.

Same situation here. I usually don’t see temps below the 40’s until the end of October. Still have some time to procrastinate cleaning the chimney.

Same here - been using it in place of the paper shredder that doesn't work very well.

First fire of the season in the Northwoods just lit. Damp & chilly 47 outside, high of 54 expected with clouds and drizzle. Not a big one for now, just enough to take a little bit of the chill out and start to warm all the steel up.

 

[thewoodlands]

We had 32.7 on the wireless located on the porch, the roof had some frost on it. We didn't have a fire overnight but had one this morning.

 

[SpaceBus]

It was really windy last night and this morning, so I gave in and lit the cookstove and ran two small loads. I miss how much hotter the cookstove makes our DHW compared to tankless unit set to 130f.

 

[Diabel]

Placed some splits by the stove. Might light it up in the morning.

 

[Larch]

4 medium splits of lodgepole pine this morning in my king just to keep it going until tonight's reload, wishing I didn't now lol. Pretty much in the 30's every night but still to warm during the sunny days still

 

[Diabel]

It has started then. Shoulder season is on in a lot of places. I do not really need to light it tomorrow but I want to…

Hurricane Fiona nailed Nova Scotia today. Lots of power outages, rain and high winds. We thankfully didn't lose power but a couple within 30 minutes of us did. I fired up a small fire for comfort when they dropped over for a hot lunch. It burned well.

Mostly small splits of birch and one maple. I tossed in a split of willow on start up.

Was a good day to have a woodstove in NS today.

Wow - yea just saw how bad it was on the news. Glad you didn't lose power and are safe. Nice to have the wood stove just in case. I know many that have them will need to use them.

We gave my son a baseball game for his birthday. So today we were at the Yankees vs Red Sox game. It was hot. Sweating.

Judge unfortunately did not get a home run for his record. "We" won though.

Long hot day, two hrs driving (plus half an hr in the Bronx, but that can't be called driving...), 4 hr game, 2.5 hrs back.

They say it was only 70 F, but without wind and in the sun it was not yet stove time....

 

[Diabel]

62 right now. Too warm to have a fire. Maybe latet on this week

 

[bigealta]

Still warm here in NJ and for the foreseeable future. I like to hold off on 1st fire to re acclimate the body to colder temps. Looking at mid -late Oct.
