Below Zero
These are the temps where all of our hard work really pays off. There are oil and propane trucks are all over the place now, they are working over 12 hr days. I just look at my wood piles and smile. I won't be looking for 12-14 hr burn times either. I plan on refilling the "dog" around 10 or 11 PM before bed, then stoking about 6:30AM before the 1st floor calls for heat

Got a cold front moving in from Upper New York state tonight and temps are supposed to go down to zero with a potential wind chill factor tomorrow near 30 degrees below, ouch. More snow and high winds coming in with the front as well. Sounds like a good day to stay out of the woods to me. be careful out there.

My OWB was at 179 when I got home from work at 5:30. There was not much left but hot coals. I loaded 20 pieces in with about 6-7 8" x 24". The rest were around 3" pieces X24. We shall see how long that lasts.

cleaned out the OWB this weekend in anticipation of the colder weather, turned it up to 180 and it is running great, -10 or below no problem..."bring it on Old man winter", its great to see the propane tank staying the same!!

I plan on seeing how mine goes too! I had some wood left after a 13 hour burn time, I loaded it up at 6 p.m. I will check it at ten p.m. I am not really burning to much more, this should be a good test!

It sort of fizzled here 11:20 PM and it is a steady 36° right nowover night low expected to be 30°. Was 9° this morning. Tomorrow though is when we expect the bottom to fall out in Southern Ks.
Good Luck to you guys up there. But then , it is more than luck that keeps you going in the North when Winter sets in hard.
