What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[GG Woody]

Seems like the BK was happy with a few days off, a glass rub, and a cat suck. It's cat is back to more active. Guess I should vacuum the cat more often.
Some Doug Fir and some 2x4 scrap for top down start up.

Yesterday's maple was almost done. Cleaned out the ashes, added 4 shorties/uglies of oak.

39 outside, a high forecast of 43. 71 upstairs.

Afternoon reload, 2 more of the good mystery logs. Should keep the shop warm well into the evening, so probably the last load for the day.

CAT at 860, still ramping, shops 72, warmed up to 34 outside, STT at 500. Stoves going a crack past closed when CAT finishes ramping.

Interesting, will grab a few from under neighbor's trees and try them... I only have a handful of pines here. Thanks for the reply.

I have been using pine cones this season. Mine have been drying for about a month and work fine as do the ones I just picked up the other day. The ones on the ground seem to be stickier that the ones that have been "seasoning" @MRD1985

I’ve been using that crap paper Amazon stuffs in the boxes and the cheap Amazon paper bags. They must be waxed because they go up fantastic and between the wife and kidos it feels like and endless supply!🤣

I use that too! I fold them about 18 inches long and then twist them. Works well.

37 outside, going down to 27. Upstairs 71.
Reload of red oak and two tiny maple splits on top to fill some holes.

One split got stuck and I couldn't push it farther, so it's less than an inch from the window.

I ended up having a little time to fix a filing cabinet draw, so I glued and clamped it and decided to keep the shop warm overnight to ensure the glue sets.

Captures a few good videos of the reload and secondary burn action.

Ok back in town after a couple days. Stove back in action after a quick ash removal, probably a couple gallons. There were a few coals but nothing worth sorting, out they went. 1st cleanout of the season. I guess we have some cold weather showing up this week so full capacity of the kings innards is nice when old man winter shows his face.
Mostly hardwoods with some spruce on top starting the load off with some cart junk and a small piece of pine scrap.

-6 and calm. Threw some small cherry sticks and one mid size piece of aspen in to get me a little later for the overnight load. Expecting 6-10" Tuesday night.

It's 10.3 tonight, the basement started out at 75 with the temps up here at 70. The overnight load is seven splits of ash, colder temps coming at us so we'll be going with beech tomorrow night.

Weather app can't decide if it's -4 or -10, but anyway you look at it IT'S COLD! Load of cherry, black ash, white ash and 1 hickory.

Almost slept through my overnight…

Tossed in 5 splits around 415 to get me to now. Cherry and some oak. Tonight is heavy on the oak with some cherry, ash and 1 maple and some cut offs. Currently 71-72 in here (was 75 earlier!, wife was making sure I knew it was too warm!) temps going to plummet tomorrow with very cold temps tomorrow night into Tuesday.
