Thank you. But it's just the kitchen stove. She said , it would light , then go out. Sounds like cold propane to me. Or the tank may be getting empty. . I need to get a hundred pounder. Only has a 7 gal tank on it so far. And it's been on for several months. I'll check it out tomorrow. Propane furnaces will put a guy In the poor house here @ 3.50 or more a gallon. Plus at 30 below and colder, it doesn't flow very well.
I wonder how cold it will get tonight or in the morning. Not uncommon for us to get our first 40 below in November.
Brrrrr. -40 is the real deal as far as cold goes! Stay warm. Sounds like your change in employment will alleviate some stress. Enjoy.
Fired off the Kuuma VF 100 last night. Currently 25 out and 71 in. First reload of the season is a mix of poplar and oak. Looks like a nice stretch of burning weather going into Thanksgiving week.
28 out, 73 in. Woke to a solid 3” coal bed. Couple fresh splits (red oak) and looking for highs in the upper 40’s.
Yeah, the low temperature is what first comes to mind. Be sure to also check the vent on the regulator...making sure it is clear of any obstruction-frost, ice, blah blah. But, it sounds like you've got a good handle on it already. Must have dumped a lot of stress/tension in that one move of handing over the keys; congrats!
Those temps were standard for the "old place" were we lived.....in the bottom of a river valley! Even though we will get way below aero temps here, I don't see them being as cold as the old house. Thats good! Hanging right around 30ish this morning.
That's strange to the more northern folks. Rather than run 2 stoves, it only takes a light load in the stove for 27 degrees. I only put in 3 small splits around 7:00 last evening then let it burn out. I got another fire going this morning but it was still 72 inside when I got up. Temp going up now.
I’m sure it is strange to Northerners. It’s a combination of house design, age with too much glass, no daytime solar heating, cold natured wife, being southern, and worthless heat strip. The basement stove keeps the house comfortable until it’s in 30’s. Both are old inserts that eat a lot of wood, but they provide enough heat to warm the house.
Here are some pictures from the first season it was installed. We finished the basement this summer and made that a large work/storage room. We really like this setup and the consistent heat throughout the house.
Yeah it sounded odd to me also.. if I were in that situation air sealing and insulation would be top of priority list
