What Is In Your Stove Right Now?

[Burnin Since 1991]

cleaned out some ash and cleaned the glass when I got home from work, loaded the stove to light after I got the kids home on the bus. Ash and oak this morning for a cold start. 20s with a little snow on the way this morning.

Good luck there! The next 24 hours there are going to be a little sketchy if the forecast holds true.

We've got a little snow coming today but it won't amount to much. Already 30 here.

Let the fireplace go cold overnight. Was 74 in the Great Room and 71 in the back hall. Cleaned the glass and removed some ash again this morning, pine & aspen n/s on the bottom and black ash & cherry e/w on top. Let it get good and ripping and still smoked the dang glass on the left side as I slowly closed the doors 😡. Currently 26 outside going up to 34 this afternoon.

4 spruce pieces on top of last nights coals. 72 in/34out. Inch or so of snow on the ground, looks nice! ☕️

Your pine and cherry would most likely be the smokers.

My favorite fire - Top Down.
Have not been able to do this for weeks as i've been burning 24/7 for a while now. Got single wall stove pipe thermometer to 500f in about 5 minutes. Mostly locust.

Yesterday's 8.30 pm load is done. I added 4 shorties to get me to tonight.
35 and sleet outside. Yuck.
Upstairs is a boring 70 F.

The pine is the usual culprit. The cherry generally doesn't do it too bad. Cold starts are the worst, especially when I do some e/w. As I cycle through my stacks I'm going to limit how much pine comes in for the fireplace and use it more for campfires.
