How I made tea this morning with no connection to the electric grid....
It took much longer to make tea this way, using a wood stove to boil the water, but I thanked the Lord I was still able to enjoy it. I added mint from the garden during brewing, which made it especially flavorful.
If you do not have a camping wood stove, I recommend this useful method of cooking to you, for when there is no electricity.

Are you prepared to cook without electricity?
One way to cook: a pressure cooker on a camping wood stove.
The fuel is free (and renewable).

Cooking Potatoes Off-the-Grid
A pressure cooker works well on a wood stove burning FREE fuel.
Sticks you can pick up from the ground are a renewable resource. They burn and produce heat, which is perfect for cooking.
No matter how many sticks I gather from the woods around my house, I always find more. The trees continue making sticks! They need CO2, water, and sunlight to generate wood. Trees cannot grow without carbon.

so, this little pile of ash, sycamore and beech logs are waiting to be split and stacked in the next weeks.
Bluetooth speaker with very Loud Tiesto at 7am awaits me thinks.

It's a cold morning, here near the Bay.

Another activity I like to do on snowy days is take an egg carton, tear off the edges & top, rip these into tiny pieces & fill the cups with those pieces. Then I melt some wax on the wood stove and pour it in the cups to soak through the torn pieces. After this cools, I tear apart the cups and use them as fire starters. I do this over freezer paper so any wax that soaks through can be peeled off when solid and used next time. #recycle #reuse #repurpose #FireStarter #WoodStove #FirePlace #FirePit

Old New England rhyme:
Candlemas Day, Candlemas Day
Half your wood, and half your hay.Candlemas day is tomorrow. How about ALL my wood.
I'm at least through the '25 - '26 planned wood. Luckily I'm two years ahead, but getting into less optimal dryness. If I also go through the planned '26-27 pile, I'm going to hit Maple cut last fall.

@mfennvt Nice, an easy win, especially if you have a big, thrift store lobster pot or something you otherwise don't care about re mineralization.
Also TIL about passive #WoodStove fans - powered by radiant heat, blows the warm (and moist) air across the room. Cheaper options available than this one: https://rutland.com/products/rutland-oscillating-wood-stove-fan-5-blade-heat-powered

Today is a mini split day, a mid January day in Vermont that will get into the 40s. (Mini split is super cheap to run in this weather, and will save me hauling wood for the day).
The soapstone stove is still 100F from 16 pounds of wood burned 14 hours ago. First time the stove has been this cool since getting it, and this cat found it right away. Other cat, taking a more conservative approach.

Jon would like to wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve, but he's sacked out so I will:
Have a happy and safe New Year's Eve everyone! -
Here's the end result on the fireplace set. Not perfect but it's also 70-ish years old. Still, it's an attractive set and will last decades more. The recipient seemed to like it. #restore #reuse #fireplace #woodstove #brass

Not a great photo. First break in burn of my Woodstock Progress Hybrid stove, just installed. Very psyched for this upgrade. #woodstove

Fifth Street saw two fire emergencies Xmas morning, but the smoke in this photo was not from them, but from our woodstove, due to a micro-weather inversion. #fire #fireemergency #emergency #smoke #woodsmoke #woodstove #stove #smoky #temperatureinversion #inversion #weather

Has anyone successfully baked cookies on top of a woodstove? Or somehow inside?
I would love to make a small batch for Winter Solstice but only cooking is woodstove or outdoor campfire.

There are so many convenient things about having a wood stove for heat. I keep pots on it to humidify the house. Putting spices in those pots makes the house smell nice. I make candles this time of year & it was easy to melt the wax on the stove top. I'm defrosting dinner over one of my pots, like a double boiler. Plus I'm not freezing my ass off. #WoodStove

The first fire in the MorsΓΈ. It needs to be broken in; first with kindling, then more kindling, then with kindling and a small log. Been waiting since September for the inspector to inspect the installation but he still hasn't come by and we're cold. We're home today and it's a small fire so figured it is safe to start the breaking in process. #WoodStove #MorsΓΈ #fire
