Wood for the smoker right next to the boiler? Oh boy. How tempting to grab it and toss it in. Does the wife ever fill the boiler? If so. . . .

She knows the difference after 19 years of filling it when I’m gone hunting. Lol
Not sure if mine has filled it more than twice. She sends the kids out. We are down to one kid at home. Lol
Got four tons of Somerset wood pellets delivered, should be enough for the season.

I’ve been successful of not cutting wood for a few years now. My buddy has been cutting wood off my homestead and selling it to support his Christmas and Hobby funds. By necessity I had to cut up this red oak that fell over my driveway during an August storm. It was a “Y” tree and the other half remains standing. I now have enough wood to boil Maple Sap in February.
Finally found a way to utilize my 28 year old Workmate table and get a lot more use of it! Lol

Welp, with temps dropping tomorrow for a week or better I decided it was time to fire it up.

A
that I'm thankful for, and it needed to come down. Yesterday was so beautiful, and I'm currently ramping up the winter wood/timber 
work here at 
Have a little cleanup for today.
I'll be doing much of it throughout the winter months, in between hunts. Something that keeps me in top shape right along with hunting that I'll be doing.
Staying nice and warm this morning with a 30 degree outdoor temperature currently

Started the boiler last night. Up to temperature. Shut off the gas. Our furnace has not really been running a ton. This is likely the latest I have fired it up. It was just idling along this morning. Temp at full reading where the blowers are not on to stoke the fire. Still some smoke coming out with no clue for heat. I'm going to need to turn on the shop heater to pull some of the heat out of the boiler. Otherwise it may burn out with no call for heat. 
On the flip side we will now have our heat in the shop (which probably hasn't been much below 50 anyway.) We will also have our hot water heater taking the rest of the winter off and saving on electricity.
