Not good Nat. Never dealt with a outside woodburner. Is your wood good and cured, and kept dry ? If it gets rained on or snow melt wet, try not to let the stove burn too low before putting the wet wood in. If you can get them, corncobs soaked in kerosine make a very good fire starter if having difficulties.

I get the feeling there will be a whole bunch of folks getting creative trying to stay warm around here directly.

Most of its cured-thank goodness but we shut it down at 10 pm for the night and there's great coals in am to start it back up-but its so cold and sometimes the wood has ice on it -making it hard for it to start back up-Im a pro-been dealing with this my whole life-woodstoves and cold winter-I can start a ripping fire with a q-tip and nail polish remover

Oh, ya'll be careful!

I know ya'll know how to drive in conditions like that, but still.

Its just 72F right now and very moist and humid and overcast, but tomorrow we are supposed to have really bad thunderstorms and rain come through, then it will be down in the 20s at night but 40s during the day.

Nat, sounds like you have experience with the Qtips and nail polish remover!

Get 'er crankin'!

John was 1 badge short of Eagle Scout before he discovered girls. I played in ditches and mud and caught crawdads and snakes and stuff and then I got a horse, so never did do girl scouts. I was a fairly wild Indian as a kid - not a bad kid (except I was late to dinner a lot) but I would usually just disappear out into the swamp and woods behind our house. Until we got horses - then I disappeared to the barn and farther.

So, Bob, you get a pyranese pup?

My bad, I knew you just had gotten this hooked up, thought maybe this was new territory for you. I try to keep the pile I'm burning next tarped, the chipmunks and mice love it, dry and toasty on sunny days. Just brought in a load of hedge apple or osage orange for those single digit or lower nights they are calling for later in the week. The rack on the breezeway is full of good dry ash. Have a couple buckets of ash and cinders ready to sprinkle on all this freezing rain we are suposed to get. A bucket and rope to dip water out of the cistern, feed enough for a week or maybe two, just put fresh straw down in the coop. Going to run down directly to a spring down by the river to fill up jugs of drinking water, which we do year round. Have plenty of powder, ball, and shot, short of a generater, I'm about as ready as I can get.
