Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A good night to stay home, anyone have a woodfire?

Just that?

have a fire and watching football, don't plan on doing much for the rest of the evening

Oh yeah
Have kept the old earth stove hot for the last 24 hours

All the time. Heat the house with it.

Fire is going. Feels good too.

Same here and stoking it like the Wabash Cannonball. Single digit highs here until mid-week.

Heat with LPG at night. Wood during the day. Don't watch football.

Fire in the woodstove, hasn't been out in at least 2 weeks. Burning some oak and cherry this evening.

Gonna make a fire in fire pit when we get home from dancehall, might watch the sun come up

Yep - the wood stove is about six feet right behind me... Toasty 73F right now. Nothing like wood heat.

Burning red elm logs in the fireplace. Good bed of coals going.

We got rid of wood stove about ten years ago, got a Harmon Pellet stove with glass door, fire is probably 18” square, no cutting wood, splitting,carrying, sore back anymore. I buy a ton of pellets for 300 dollars and burning it during the day and propane central air at night. I have never burned more than a 1-1/2 tons in a winter. I think it’s great when you get older, anybody can carry 40 pound bags.

Building one here in a few minutes. Low of 27 tonight.

A wood fire is all we have and all we have had for the last 30 years. GD

Might light up baby bear next weekend really does us no good unless we home all day.Gas logs are so nice🥵

Wish I did. I envy my neighbors across the street with a big fireplace. On cold days, you can see the plumes of smoke coming out the chimney.

Yes, I have a wood fire, and burn it every day the temperature falls below 60 or so. Around 1973 I had buck stove build me a custom fireplace insert, with 2 blower motors. It handles wood up to 30 inches in length. Although my home has 2 separate central heating and air units, I keep the thermostats on 65 degrees so they rarely come on. I used to cut my own wood but have been buying it for the past 15 years. I burn 4 to 6 chords a year and still clean my own chimney. I try to burn only red or white oak. I won’t be without my wood-burner until I get so old I have to move to town to be closer to doctors or hospitals.

You need way to put out a chimney fire.

Burning honey locust

I wish, brother
