Just did the evening cold start. Going to 29 tonight. Very strange had a 3.5 year 3”-4” oak split sizzle at the corner of one end. Like hollow sound when dropped it when bringing it in and still sizzles.

Any chance it got rain on it from the last storms?

No tarp covered no leaks. It was a small wedge shaped split. Just one small corner but bubbled. Stack is on pallets crossed stacked.

That’s an odd one. I wouldn’t sweat it though. Could just be surface moisture from dew (cold nights warm days). If your wood was improperly seasoned you would know it.

It was covered only the top 6” overhang. Stacked Aug 2022. Sun good airflow. Might be the end exposed to the elements. I do try to stage my wood indoors for a few days. Load is running hot 700 STT.

I dropped 9 pieces of mixed hardwoods in for the evening load. Oak and maple.

Aspen reload on a bed of hot coals. I think I’ll be through the aspen sooner than expected.

Multi species load for the night. Had to have some help, stove was about 100 degrees from the 7am fire this morning. Just a few small sticks in the gaps and a torch for a few seconds is all it needed. Big chunk of oak, big split of ash, another medium split of ash, some red maple, a split of hickory, some silver and Norway maple in this load.

Currently 30* outside, 68 inside

Down to 21 already. Pretty full load of 2 small cherry runners n/s and 4 mid to large size black ash e/w on a good coal bed. Colder weather and a good bed of coals is soooo much better for reloads...

It's 18.9 out at the moment, the basement is 81 with the temps up here at 70. The overnight load has two beech splits with the rest ash.
