What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Stelcom66]

It was near 80 hear yesterday, n/g IMO. Was in the 40s overnight, nice getting back to normal. Had just one fire this season earlier in the week, probably will tonight. Picked a few partially ripe tomatoes to ripen indoors, 32º is possible tonight.

We had 30.2 this morning with the house still at 70. We had a small shoulder season wood fire and another smaller fire after, the temp up here is 72 heading to 73.

Last night I did have a fire with some ash, we still had enough coals this morning that the pine took off.

31 this morning with a small load of cut offs and crumbling red oak pieces. Supposed to be a high of 61 today. So a small fire was all we needed to beat the chill.

We had 41.1 this morning with the house still at 70 in some rooms and 71 in the living room. Last night I did have a five split ash fire, a shoulder season wood fire is going in the Lopi at the moment. The basement is 77 and it just hit 72 up here.

We had some good rains today, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

 

[thewoodlands]

The temp up here is 73 with the temp in the stove room (basement) at 79, I'm burning down some pine with the overnight load of ash going in around 10.

We're at 38.4 tonight with a possible low of 32 in the morning.

Insert was installed on Saturday. Waiting for Building Permit to be issued and the Inspection to start the paint curing process.

 

[thewoodlands]

We should be dropping down to the low 30's tonight, it was 72 up here when I started a shoulder season wood fire earlier tonight, for the overnight fire, I'll go with a load of half ash and pine.

It's 34.2 out at the moment with a inside temp of 72 up here heading north.

Still nothing here.
Was upstate Fri-Mon. Nice colors. Had a fire outside, as well as in the fireplace inside every day

Past weekend lows in upper 20s-low 30s, highs mid 50s: cottonwood🙃 Just enough heat to take chill out. Split a split and measured the moisture content: 17-20%, very little smoke but lots of ash. Saving my good stuff for harsh weather.

Still nothing here. Nights have been hitting mid 30s-40s days still 60-80 and sunny so enough solar gain. Someday….

Burned a full load of Aspen last night. Cabin sits at 75 this morning, probably won’t fire up again til this evening. Highs today in lower 40’s rain and snow showers today and tonight.

 

[NickW]

Last night did a 3/4 load of ash, aspen and pine in the Northwoods. Weak coals only left. This morning I have aspen and pine in. Rainy and chilly. Down to 26 tonight and only a high of 38 tomorrow.

 

[MMH]

Ask and you shall receive! Woke up this morning temp in 30s house at 64.5 we have lift off.

 

[JamesGuido]

Fired up this morning and kept it on… still burning
Got oak in there
Only burn oak, it’s all I got
Shocked to see it was only 48° outside… didn’t believe so I got out my Thermapen…
Suresh*t it is.

 

[thewoodlands]

It was 72 up here just from cooking, I made spaghetti sauce with some pasta for supper but the basement temp was 66 so I started a fire after eating.

 

[NickW]

2 pine & aspen loads with 1 piece of hardwood each during the day yesterday kept the cabin at 68-70. Almost full overnight load of ash and cherry at 8:15 last night still had the blower running this morning. Went to bed at 71 degrees at 11, got up at 69 degrees at 7. Was in the 20's overnight.

 

[Gearhead660]

First fire of the season! Elm and pine. Was 32 this morning and only getting up to 50 today. Has been burning all day. Now the wife will want a fire every day....

 

[Woodsplitter67]

a little oak and cherry for the morning fire.. cat settled in at 950

 

[Vg3200p]

Firstborn of the season today outside 35 house at 55. Burning some junk chunks and some slats from behind the plaster walls from my bathroom remodel

 

[Vg3200p]

Burning more lath from behind the plaster walls tonight. Unknown wood but I think it's some kind of hardwood. It's 102 years old if it's original to the house(I'm guessing it is). 6.5% moisture easiest burn I've ever had. From start to full secondaries and full air shutoff in under 10 minutes. Makes me wish my actually wood stash was single digit seasoned

 

[thewoodlands]

It's 45.3 out tonight with the temp in the basement at 77 heading up, the temp up here is 72 going on 73 with the floors between 76 and 78.....just another load of pine going in the wood stove.

 

[NickW]

Ash and cherry in the Stratford II in the Northwoods. 71 on the thermostat back in the hall, Great Room and loft are about 74. 34 outside with a winter weather advisory.... Couple inches coming and lots of wind.

 

[Grizzerbear]

Its 51 out with a low of 35 tonight. I've been using the heat pump for the last few weeks when I could have justified some shoulder burns but I figured I would run a small load of post oak knots and crotch pieces tonight to get her up and running since we are expecting our first cold snap tomorrow night. I see you northern folks getting some snow. Jealous.

My Dad used to burn a fair amount of it when I was young and man does it rip. I wish I had a source for some as it is the best fire starter. I think it was softwood/piney cuz it was like fireworks in the stove. Frightening to think about a whole houseful of it going up in a structure fire..

Supposed to get cold the next few nights lows 30s to mid 20s. Think I will light a break in fire tonight. Got the stack and stove cleaned yesterday. Typical Arkansas head fake. 30 today and 78 by Saturday.
