Had a great campfire in the yard last night, and fired to stove in the shop this afternoon with the big shop door open. Nice to warm your backside with..
Anybody burning yet?

I've been running mine full blast for 6 weeks now. We sleep outside in a tent cause opening the windows didn't cool the house down enough and the air conditioner can't keep up.

Decided to Light the Firepit Tonight...
Shirley and the flames keep me warm:
And, Lady helps out too:
Cottonwood sure works well in a firepit, So does elm and about anything else I can find. Neighbors seem to be jealous. Next year I'm going to expand the cobblestones that surround the pit. Less grass to mow.
Nothing like weenies, marshmallows, and listening to the locusts and crickets.

It has been really tempting to fire up the old wood furnace. it is so post to be down in the mid 40s tonight and down in the upper 30s on Sunday night. It is very damp in the house from today's drizzle. We made a home made pizza in the oven that warmed us a little but now the cold is coming back. What happened to global warming. I think we have global cooling now instead.

Not yet. Did kick on the lp for a moment though just to warm the house up a bit. My place doesn't loose heat fast enough in this weather and the wood furnace ends up overheating the house. About 30 degrees is my mark for wood heat.
as a rule i try to hold put till october. sometimes it happens sometimes it dont. i have a feeling were gonna have abad winter this year so i doubt ill make it till october.

I'll be lighting mine about 4am for the first time, dam frost.
Well, at least you don't live in the upper peninsula. Hard to believe it is that cold there today.
I promise not to tell LOML.

Don't have a heat source in my house right now so no. Furnace needs new firebox.
Wait a minute. (1) You live in upper New York (2) Winter is approaching, and (3) You have no source of heat?
I am in shock.
I haven't fired the stove yet, but I'm thinking about it. We were at a friend's house last evening and he fired his stove to take off the chill. I can't remember ever starting a fire to keep warm in August.

Mine is making heat right now. It's 36f here right now and about 70f inside.
