Coffee anyone ?

[promiseacres]

I'm getting close to that as well, later this year than usual since I'm a bit short on wood. Holding off for colder weather to set in since once I start it I pretty much have it running 24x7 until spring.

us too

I miss a wood burning heater.

We have a little woodstove, heats our little house. Start it up in the morning, let it die overnight.
DH says after getting all that wood in the shed cut, split , and stacked he hates to burn it. A full woodshed is a pretty sight, but the heat it gives is prettier to me.

Coffee is on.
We have plenty, just most needs split. New neighbors have our splitter... hoping they'll be finished with it soon. We have some split but need to get on it since we'll burn 24/7 until March.
Need to get groceries and the rabbit cages have to get cleaned...

Had wood heat for years and learned to hone the air flow to a range of perfection. Now, I am not wanting to worry with wood issues. But it was great heat! I'd do it if needed but,not of work. Still help DD get hers worked up some days. Splitter is worth gold.

Lovely and warm out. Almost 70 and going to 80. Yes! But, rain also arriving. Can't have it all. I just keep saying -- grass grows with this, less hay for now. It mellows my annoyance with the inconveniences.

Thanks for the coffee. I slept late again. I guess my brain is telling me not to pop up at 5 AM because I don’t have any pile of things to do. And I guess I’ve been sleep deprived and needed to catch up.

No excuse needed! Sleep in all ya want. Some weeks I feel like I just want to jump up, others, not so much. Know what? It's ok.

So get one

Um, what kind of wood is this? If it is harwood and isn't split yet it surely won't be dry enough to burn properly for some months.

There is nowhere to put one. The living room/dining area are both small and not wood burning heater friendly.

A little bit of this and that. I think most of what we have now is oak, we reserve softwood for camping. Most was cut/dropped last spring or before then cut into chunks. It dries as is, we split as we can. DH always mentions splitting it through the summer... but we rarely get around to it. We do have a big pile split. But a bigger pile that needs split. It works. DH has a waiting list to get trees dropped. Most are dead or dying. So they dry fast.
