Roll Call

[Whitespider]

I lit-up the first time in early September, before I even replaced the window screens with storms... that's the earliest I can ever remember. Had a fire on 'n' off since then... but pretty much at least a small one goin' 24/7 for a week now.
Ain't seen single digits yet. Got down to 17° yesterday morning, 19° this morning, 10° predicted for tomorrow morning, and then single digits for Saturday morning... ain't supposed to see anything above freezing through Thanksgiving.

I've had my chimney chufn since beginning of October everyday pretty much all day. Wife likes the heat and then thanks me for of all my hard work

 

[kingOFgEEEks]

I have had a fire on and off for the past month. Let it go out after feeding it Monday at bedtime, as Tuesday and Wednesday were warm. I went down to light up last night, and found enough coals in the ashes to get a fire going without a match!

I am still learning the tricks to this Charmaster, but I am liking what I am able to do so far.

POLAR VORTEX pushing cold air south again ... minus 5 Celcius here (23 F) today.
Toasty warm in our 2500 sq ft. with just the wood stove! Wood stove draws fresh air and a few double glazed windows are always cracked open for plenty of fresh air movement. Furnace is off and collecting dust for years now.

OWB burns year around for clothes drying and hot water and is the only source of heat we have. Upper 20's and mid 30's forecasted for SE Georgia in the next few days, it'll be getting a good workout

Where is all this cold you speak of? Was out in the woods cuttin' sugar maple yesterday in a t-shirt. A balmy 50*, made me work up a sweat.

Yup, been burning off and on for a couple of weeks, was 24 here at O-dark thirty this am. 73 in the house.
Right now it's 40 out and 78 in here, too darn warm. I guess it's better than being cold and I have plenty of dry wood this year.

 

[mainewoods]

I actually got a slight sunburn up on the mountain. 62* day before yesterday. Course we are expecting snow tonight, so don't feel too bad for me.
