Really neat trees turn an awesome golden yellow in fall. They're the only conifer I know of that shed there needles every year

-30 two days ago supposed to be 15 tomorrow. Been a very cold winter, hoping the end is near.

Blaze king king

if you have never experienced -50 windchill you are missing out. Temps are in celcius

I'm guessing I hung in there most of the night too. -31c (-24f) here over night too. Loaded the main floor stove 830pm last night and when I went down to load it now 1015am was still 74°. But it's a blaze king so I'm kind of cheating :p

This doesnt refer to 100° in the house but a 100° difference between temperature inside and out

A fellow manitoban, beautiful weather we are having this winter eh? Isnt hard to join the 100° club here.

Pine and spruce here sell for close to the same price as oak. Mind boggling

Whole year since I started this thread and things are looking up. Was able to pick up a new splitter and that really helped cut back time. Found a few places that let me go in and clear out some trees as well that were close to home and easily accessible with the truck. Up to around 16+ cords 12...

this was Saturday morning

We must be fairly close. I'm about 25 minutes north of the Minnesota border

Buy a blaze king then you only need kindling once a year.

It's been unseasonably cold here this "fall" went straight from summer to winter almost it seems 3rd time we've had snow already. Leaves are still hanging on the trees except most of the ash has been bare for a few weeks. And My oak trees look better now than they did all summer.

Thanks for the replies guys looked into it and I believe it to be frost cracks. -40 isn't uncommon here. Most of the trees seem to be healed over but obviously it created a week spot in that rather tall small diameter tree. It came down in high wind storm.

I've noticed several green ash trees on my property have these long cracks in them just curious as to what is the cause.

Ticks you say! One of my wife's favorite hobbies is pulling them off the dogs in abundance.

I was only joking when I said it'll last 3 days 30 hrs is doable though. But it all depends how much heat output you need. If you need alot and your running it on high 8+/- hrs is usually the norm for me. But when I'm gone to work 12-14 hr cycles works well to keep the house kozy.i also bought...

Except when you want to go to bed or need to go to work and want to reload the stove first but the coals from the wood you put in there 3 days ago are still too hot to go near the stove ;p

My only complaint about the blaze king is it burns for too long sometimes. Takes some planning to figure out cycles but once you have it dialed in its pretty predictable. Cat vs non cat btus are btus but non cat you can't slow the fire. The cat will make poplar burn like oak.

I bought a blaze king sirroco 30.1 here in manitoba;canada for 3200ish I believe last year. I have the least recommended chimney setup and the stove still works incredibly well.
