What, Ballarat is actually warmer than somewhere else! 7.9C top temperature for the day but like it says feels like 4.1C.
And don't believe the 0.0mm rainfall, must have had a cover over the gauge.

Nice. Where's that? ?

[katwoman]

Nice. Where's that? ?
Birregun Rd. Near swifts creek. About 10 km past ' dogs grave '. Lots of tracks around there, but not with 2t of wood.

The wind chill is
so cold today, that
a brass monkey

We got to a balmy high of 5C today, felt like -5C

I'm running low on firewood damn it!!!

Getting desperate...

[Cuppa]

We got to a balmy high of 5C today, felt like -5C

Only when walking between the shed & the house. Only felt like - 3C out of the wind inside the shed! Enough to make the fingers not want to do what I wanted them to do. Not an ideal situation for using a table saw! Still have them (fingers) all though!

[Winnie]

I'm running low on firewood damn it!!!

Getting desperate...

Next you will be ripping up those floor boards!
We are low too... got about a weeks worth left! Should do a nice big trip this weekend and hopefully that will be me done for this season!
This time I will be smarter and get it all collected in the warmer months to have it dried and ready for winter!!

[AB]

You should see some of the farms we shoot on and we can take as much wood as we like... good stuff to.

[Winnie]

I'll give you $15 for a trailer load every time you go, $17 if you bring it to my house!

[Maxhead]

Bahahahha I say that every year and it just doesn't happen.


Tell me about it, I had gas running for a week as we were out of wood...lol
Next season I'll be ready.....yeah right!

Do you know anyone with a property for getting wood???
My mate has rang me a few times to say he wants a paddock cleared of a couple of fallen trees and that it's really good wood... bloody bullshit green wet crap.

Mum's boss has a huge property with dozens of fallen trees, all stacked up with his excavator... roll one off and cut it up. I need to go back there!

[Winnie]

Far out mate, your fireplace must be more efficient than mine. I go through a trailer load every two weeks...lol

Ute and big trailer =]
It probably won't last but here's to hoping... lol

[AB]

I reckon a smaller coonara in good condition properly sealed is very efficient.

I've only gone through 2m3 this winter.

My brother has a massive wood heater and he has smashed the wood.

My other friend has a dodgy seal and has also smashed triple my consumption.

[Sir Roofy]

Far out mate, your fireplace must be more efficient than mine. I go through a trailer load every two weeks...lol

mmmmmm I thought your heater was pretty good thinking that you loaded it up got it going and then shut it down and enjoy the heat of the evening till morning then load up again but then again you are always in minus below wich wont help
you could collect dry cow pats they go well in the heater bit like briquettes

[Winnie]

2 metres? No way?
I've got through about 8 and I don't think that is excessive at all.
Do you keep yours going 24/7?

Yep, exactly what I do but not having good hardwood don't help and we have had a farcking cold one. Close to 200sqm is a lot of space to heat though and Fiona likes to crank it up a little in the evenings.lol

Luckily enough the fireplace does it with ease but hungry...lol

I'm trying these cow pats too :)

We have no insulation, lol.
We shut it down when we are not at home and when we go to bed but other than that it is pretty much full open when we are home.

[Maxhead]

no idea mate. 1 or 1.5???


Yeah cool, I reckon I've gone through about 3 tone. That's burning 24/7 for about last 3months lol (bar one week) guessing :)

[AB]

We have no insulation, lol. We shut it down when we are not at home and when we go to bed but other than that it is pretty much full open when we are home. Yeah that is a huge difference mate, your heat is vanishing and you are only feeling the immediate heat from fire.

[Winnie]

Yeah I know mate... but it is not our house and rent is cheap so we don't complain.
The house does not see any sunshine during the day either because we have big trees right around. Nice and cool in summer though!

[mudnut]

Dunno what people call
good wood to burn. All of
the trees we planted are
native. If it drops a limb
or falls over, it gets
cut and split. Warmth is
warmth as far as I'm
concerned.

[AB]

Yeah I know mate... but it is not our house and rent is cheap so we don't complain. The house does not see any sunshine during the day either because we have big trees right around. Nice and cool in summer though! Rental home, now your talking...

36. :)

Nah, we've probably been through 2.5 tonne ourselves so far mixing grey box with rubbish local wood.

[katwoman]

We run 2 fires 24/7 and another 2 on weekends. Go out once a month and fill the car trailer until the springs are straight with 10 foot logs. Local wood is rubbish which is why we drive 3 hours to get it. Still works out cheaper than buying it.
We'll be filling the ute from Licola next weekend.
