yep it is, but not when your getting pelted by golf ball size hail. warm ashes in my stove till I get home. was 33F this morning in the garage.
Yea, that’s crap! We saw high 40s overnight…. I slept with the windows cracked, it was beautiful this morning.
Crazy to think folks are still burning right up to Memorial Day weekend.

Back in the 40's and low 50's here in Michigan. I just tossed some cherry and elm in the stove.
Yep, thought I was done burning a month ago but I lit a fire this morning and probably will the next couple of days as well.
As usual, oak and some more oak.

I lit a fire when I got home today. It was 43°f.
Getting ready for bed and the thermometer said 39°f. I have not checked the weather tonight, maybe snow? Hope not.
I have Oak and Beach in the stove tonight.

The temps in the morning have been in the low 40's so later yesterday I started a fire with kindling, pellets and a split of firewood. After three small fires like that the basement temp went from 64 to 73, up here it was 68.

Down to 33 overnight. Had a small softwood fire in the early evening then some cherry, ash and pine overnight.
I might bring some firewood in for tonight instead of screwing around with pellets in the wood stove.

I absolutely could have done a fire the last 3 days as it’s been cold, cloudy and rainy at times as well. Heats been on out of laziness I suppose.
Cool and rainy this week. Had a small fire this morning while working on the computer.

A Purple Martin. I had the bypass door closed so he was stuck in the stove pipe, I opened the bypass and the loading door now he’s flying around the house. We had the curtains closed on the south side of the living room but not the east side windows so the little bugger hit both windows trying to escape. Closed the east curtains and opened the door and away he went. I was surprised how much soot that little guy left on the newly cleaned windows.

House dipped into the upper 60's, so I tossed some softwood (poplar and box elder) in the stove to get us back into the 70's. What an odd spring!

A bird in mine as well, apparently. Im at work when I get home tomorrow I will check for the squatter.
I never brought in any firewood, it has been cooler and damp with the rain we received, usually it's the propane fireplace if we want heat. The house felt cold this morning so I ran the furnace for about 10 minutes.

One of these species again, it seems like it’s always them when I get a bird down the flue. He was scared in the corner once he heard its a “cat” stove harharhar…
Anyhow safely removed and free to fly about the town once again.

JUNE 13th! 49 degrees at 4:30 in the afternoon and been raining most of the day. Done fighting the urge, just lit a load of pine & aspen.
Yep same weather as Nick, loaded up the Fireview with Aspen and went out to a local fish fry then came back to a nice toasty cabin.

Furnace kicked in at 7:00 this morning. 49 degrees and pouring, high of about 55 forecast. Smallish load of hardwood e/w on n/s runners to give a little longer burn than aspen & pine and leave some coals in case I want to load again later.
