Are you still burning

They used a skidder with an ice tong attached to a choker to winch the slabs out. The latest ice out on Rangeley Lake, since records were kept, was May 24th 1882. There is a good chance that record may be broken.

I let it go last week a couple of times. But still burning leftover 3-6" stuff every evening as 55 deg. is tough to sit around in every night. No longer getting up at 4:30 to make sure the cat gets to temp before leaving the house at 6, which seems "luxurious". Now it's 5:15. Heh.

Cold rain falling right now, feels ten degrees cooler than 45. And crap, the car windows are cracked. Time to do an air sample.

Burning the ugly and. 3 yr old walnut. I'm currently putting up the rest of my oak for next yr. This week we were in the 50s but will hit 80s this weekend.

I had let the fire burn out in my insert for about 2 weeks, but had to re-light due to cold front that came through Sunday. Let it burn out again his morning. This was the first year I have had where I didn't had to run the a/c until May.

But, forecasting 100s starting Sunday through Wednesday. I would rather be burning a fire and enjoying the cold temps than dealing with anything warmer than 80.

Burning one or two pieces at a time it gets way to hot but not burning and it gets kinda chilli. Got to get up in middle of the night and put a piece in. Won't be to long and wood box will get hauled away

 

[iceman7668]

Yup. Small fire at night to keep the house around 65 until morning. Wood is free, natural gas not so much!

Just burning off and on at this point. Had 2 fires this week; both following cold rainy days. From here on out sunny days keep the house warm enough that a fire in the evening isn't needed. But overcast or rainy days, and I'll light up when I get home. Temp has gotten down to 44 the last couple nights, but yesterday and today are sunny with a high of 60.

I'm in purgatory right now. Too warm to burn, too cool for A/C. No way to dry the air, so the humidity remarkably unpleasant. Shopping for dehumidifier now.

The winter that just wont go away!

 

[macattack_ga]

Last night was the first night w/o a fire going since Halloween!

 

[Icehouse]

No fire this morn but won't put the wood box away yet. This weekend and next week is going to be colder

 

[Buck#1]

Ya may 2 and still at it. Winter from hell. Started last Sept.

 

[philoshop]

Every day since Sept 14th. I'll have to update my post in the "how much wood did you burn this year?" thread.
With any luck I'll get 4 months off before it starts again. It's gettin' real old right now, for sure.

I THOUGHT I was done. Even thought it was kinda warm. But last night my wife asked me to start a fire. (My guess is she was driving around with the car heater set at 85 and then 68 in the house seemed cold.)

The hard part was, since I thought I was done for the season, earlier in the week I piled a bunch of "not quite ready" wood on top of my "good to go" pile, and then it all got rained on.

I like my quadra fire, rake up the coals at dinner add some small stuff and after dinner add a few big splits , wait awhile and shut it down for the evening. We have only lit 2 fires since the end of September. Let the fire go out prior to a blower door test and once to replace the door gasket. The stove works great in any weather, load it up when its cold or just a couple of small pieces when its in the 40s.

Well , since I have so many matches stockpiled from this continuous fire I think I'm gonna do a give away so y'all guess a number from 1 to .......

 

[Deleted member 83629]

not had a fire in weeks but it has been cool at night i just let the propane run a little.

 

[dancan]

So last night

 

[Icehouse]

Wife started fire this AM, 65° in house seems warm enough to me.

We have 2 days in a row in the forecast with 70f high with sun.
I thought spring was just a myth and the spring game was postponed due to persistent cold rain, but maybe I will hold off on completing the ARK for those days LOL
I'm a little surprised I had enough wood left for the ARK after this winter but I guess silver maple makes a mighty fine ARK if I can just build it before I need it for fire
