yep, had a fire each night and morning for the last week (not bad for NZ). We have a warmish air about us at the moment so haven't had the woodfire fired up the last 24 hours.

I burn black wattle (med hard) and Kanuka (hardwood) picked up after the last winters floods from the riverbed. Also have 18 sacks of pinecones. Love the fire as it also heats the water via a wet back heat exchanger. Power bill drops by up to 60%

-6 here this morning

bloody freezing down here.
No wood fire but central heating earns its keep

2c here this morning...

Jeans, T-shirt, Open face helmet - Motorbike & Off to work...

Nothing wakes you up quicker
