I dunno if I "Miss" it, but not having a fire goin' in the living room 24-7 changes the whole "Rythm" of things around here.
I wince every time the AC kicks on, and then remember it isn't the furnace LOL!!
I keep looking at the wood pile, and pile of rounds I have yet to split on the way back in from the field, and keep thinking I gotta get busy on one of these cooler days when I am not busy LOL!!
4 more months or less and it will be back to burning though.
Stay safe!

I had a fire in the fireplace at the cottage fri and sat night at the wife's request. Sassafras w/ it's many colors and popping and crackling...granted I had to sit across the room and all the windows were wide open. I didn't complain so I guess I was missing it.

I don't miss it. Been trying to enjoy our short summer but have been thinking I only have about 3 more months till it's time to fire it up again.:jawdrop:
Been working steadily on my firewood collect ( never really stop ). As of June 22nd we are on the downhill slope and gaining speed. Won't be long now..

No. Between cutting , work and short days I was getting behind on my stacking. I'm not cold and there are a few sticks in there for that first frost warning later this year. Summer gives me a chance to get it all stacked from the last bout of cutting. This reminds me , I need to run the brush through the chimney a few times.
It's been 100° or more here the last week or so. No fear of freezing to death this time of year.

I miss the idea of burning, but winter is my favorite season. My vegetable garden is what gets me through summer. I love growing vegetables almost as much as cutting firewood.
Amen KsWoodsman, this 100 degree heat is for the birds!

Hard to say if I miss burning or simply miss cooler weather. The two go hand in hand. Lets just say that I am looking forward to Autumn.
Get yourself a chiminea or firepit so you can burn now. That's one of the reasons that I finally broke down and bought one, but am having a hard time working it in around the raindrops!

Hasn't been long enough to miss. Had a fire last week. The way things are shaping up, I might be getting one going on July 4th.
From what I understand, some of you in other parts of the country are seeing some real warm temps.

I don't miss burning, but I do miss cutting some. Really like seeing the chips fly from the MS361 and smell of freshly cut / split red oak.
Took a short walk through the woods last evening checking out the dead standing oaks. In October they will have a date with the chainsaw.

Don't quite miss it yet since I just shut it down 2 weeks ago. All of April and May I was burning "junk" wood that was laying around, poplar, pine, etc. Instead of a bonfire this year I used all of that wood to heat the DHW. We are currently working on installing a pool so I think I'll fire up the OWB just so we can fill the pool with warm water. I'm also looking at the heat exchangers for pools so the burner might get a little more use in the summer than originally planned. Come to think of it, I might be installing this stupid pool just so I can justify burning wood all year.

I kinda miss burning, but then I realize that I was just burning 2 weeks ago and if the temps keep up the way they are going I may be burning tonight.
Since my Dad passed away in May I missed allot of time that I could have been stocking up. Also I try to get back to my Mom's place every couple of weeks to help her out. So I am way behind schedule this year, hopefully we don't get frost in August this year and the temps stay above freezing at least until October.
