And yes so far I've fired up the insert twice. With highs in the mid fifties the house temp has been around 62. Not that bad but still a good excuse to get a fire goin' IMO.
Hang in there K7:chainsawguy:

Yup, the season is here. I burned over the weekend, and both last night and tonight. Temps have been in the high 30's to low 40's the last few nights, and it has been cloudy with a few showers during the day, so there is no help from the sun. It's not exactly "cold" like it will be in a couple of months, but the house gets down to where you need some kind of heat, so I lit up.
Early season like this, I burn the small diameter wood and all of the chunks that seem to accumulate. I have two crates from tractor attachments that I use for chunk boxes on the side of the wood shed. In one of my anal moods I measured them and calculated that they hold .43 of a cord, and they are both full.
I never really intend to cut stupid sized pieces like that, but the chunks come from trimming blocks that are too long, and there are some cookies in there from some saw testing. You can't stack that stuff, so I set it aside in these crates. No point in wasting it, right? What do you guys do with odd sized stuff like that?

Call me a woose.. I fired her up this morning!
Well the temperature dipped from mid 90's as a high to mid 60's with lows in the low 40s... I couldnt stand it even after putting on a wool sweater, so I fired her up and warmed the house to a nice 80 (well it's what us Californians are used to). It's messy at times, but ya Gotta love the wood heat!!!

Well, before you can race with the big boys, you have to race in your novice class, to get enough points to get out. Were split up by cc size, since I was an 1100, I went LAST in the SAME race, therefore, I had to LAP people to gain more points to get into the big leagues. But I'm sure you already knew that?
Yes, I made it to the big leagues.

Hey Larry, welcome to Oregon!
Thanks man!! I'm liking it!
We got a little dusting of snow here yesterday morning (just barely) and should get more this weekend. I really need to concentrate on getting a wood stove in here!!
.
You're telling me. We blew in insulation last night...you know how it is waiting for other people to get things done! The only good thing is that my father in law that's helping goes to Arizona for the winter, so he's pushing to get done and go south.
:agree2:It was a good winter for snow here. I snowmobiled more last year than I ever had combined. Never really got in it but went with the in laws and a big trip with my cousin, and it was a blast!
Yep first one tonight, Coulda got by but the wife wanted a fire so you see i obey well. Think i'm gonna love my new little wood cart too. No that's not my wife on the right hand side of the pic.lol

cleaned the garage, and fired up the stove last night for the first time/test run.

I normally turn on the furnace this time of year and save the wood for when it gets cold, but I got a new stove and these 40 degree nights are the perfect time to do break in and test run it. I've ran it twice over night so far and I'm pretty impressed with it. I'm just not sure what to call it, owb or wood furnace or just call it my outdoor stove? It is the Lil House Outdoor Wood Heater, but that name really is too long, even LHOWH is a bit long. Guess I'll just call it my stove for short 
I bought a small 1000w generator to go along with the stove to keep it powered during our frequent ice storms.
Left overs from last year!! Its about 4ft deep and 6ft tall and when I get it filled in it will be about 14ft long. Since this pic was takin I've added a nice supply of hedge to the left side of the pile!!
