What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Crab]

-20/75 Another cold one this morning. Got up early and filled the stove full of Oak. Nice toasty 75 in here now. Going through a lot of firewood with the cold snap!

How many splits can you fit in the Fireview? 18.5 low here with a breeze. I think for the first time the downstairs heat came on before the set up at 5am. ...my bad for not having temps up at bedtime. I do not burn overnite anymore. 6 am Startup load of 5 year css red and white oak underwhelmed this morning? I expected a hell of a draft at 18 deg..sometimes I just don't understand

4-6 splits depending on the size. That’s about 25-30 lbs with Oak. I’m figuring I load about one less split of firewood per load compared to the F45 but pretty much putting out the same amount of heat. So there will be a little wood saving with this stove. Just about burned one cord so far.

12/68 took the opportunity to shovel out some ash and clean the glass for first time in a month. Was starting to get that white haze on it but never got the chance to clean it with the cold weather. One thing I don’t like about the Fireview is the difficulty of wiping off the glass but it does stay clean for a long time.

After this mornings slaving to the dragon, I went back down in the lair about 4am. All was down to coals, alas a bigger bed and chunks. I repacked with bigger splits playing tetris. All premium foods minus 2 big splits of black ash. Fell back asleep and up just after 7 for a refeed. More coal chunks and a huge bed of coals. Tossed in some black birch, and couple oak splits. I'm loosing sleep slaving to this ole girl.

Can't wait for spring. Are we there yet?

I just checked my calendar, nope 😬 couple 2/3 more months there friend. I don’t know if I could do it, those short burn times would burn me out. I give you credit man! Hang in there 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Not to rub it it, got out of work this am and had some coals in the stove from 6am yesterday load of hardwoods, cat meter still in the active zone. Propane furnace was cycling through the night but at least wasn’t running constantly as if the stove wasn’t contributing. Load of spruce for a nice quick heat blast. We had 10 overnight with a breeze and a high of 25 and some sun for the earlier part of the day today anyways.
Coffee time ☕️

Ran out and stuffed the shop while I was warming the truck up and cleaning up some snow earlier:

It was 11, shop was 62 left the stove at about 1/4 air; expecting to come home to a cold stove…. Hopefully a warm shop though.

Stuffed it with ash, maple and some of that black cherry again.

After I got home from work had to take my youngest to the dentist, then got home, cleaned out some ash, and cleaned the glass. Stuffed to the gills this morning with oak, ash, and cherry. Windchill was -10 with a temp of about 9 this morning. Now…breakfast and more coffee

Get a nap in today eh?

 

[all night moe]

Nah, no time. Attorney called. When my GF gets back from her doc's appointment we need to go give some signatures. The legal battle is progressing. Then I get to repeat last night before leaving for work in the am.

All good news.....attorney, then I get to get to work. The GF is also going back to work after her cancer battle. I feel some relief ahead.

Again, burning wood is a lot cheaper for me than electricity

It’s not cold here, low 40s, but need some heat in the house

Chestnut/white oak/ hazel/ Siberian elm/poplar
With a sprinkling of apple and holly

Tonight’s load is courtesy of our cold weather friends oak and maple. The night is starting off at 21 and a low of 13 is expected. 🍻

Came home late, stove was cold (80); probably going to stay that way till the weekend.

This morning at 9 i had added some oak uglies, 11 hrs after last night's load. It was cold in the am!

Those uglies are done now. Some red oak and some black locust.
25 outside, going down to 23. Upstairs 69.

 

[MEngineer24]

Red oak loaded for the night. Stove is cruising at 680F, stove room is 80F and rising. Outside temp is 16F.

 

[fvhowler]

Going down to the low 20s for me tonight. Post Oak and American Holly in the stove for overnight. Its 72 in the stove room at 10pm and will be about 66-68 when I reload in the morning.

 

[MRD1985]

Oak, ash, maple , a little cherry and a tiny bit of hickory tonight. Low around 14 tonight.

Cold morning at 12F, red oak reloaded on a large coal bed from last night’s burn. Supposed to start warming up some through the rest of the week. It’s been a challenge to keep the electric furnace from kicking on the last few days in the early morning hours.
