How are those stove running ?

You know, if you plumbed an old Milk Box in the middle of that OAK - that would be a GREAT way to chill Vodka.

 

good here.
Or maybe I should say " gooder "

Nice dry wood and it's doing it's job.
Thanks to that BRAD guy that has been such a help , and a bad influence ?

This place rocks""
I would have never been as prepared as I am without everyone here and all the advice about getting ahead.

 

Tiny Francesca stove ran well here, after I got the combustion fan RPM dialed in yesterday morning. I had 'modded' the burn pot(s), adding 4 1/8" holes to aid in clearing ash from the deep burn pot on the stove, but forgot to account that those holes would require additional combustion air, to compensate.. Rookie mistake. Burning well now! Ran 28 hrs. between yesterday -> to today, only opened to 'stir the burn pot' a few times w/ the large 'stirrer screwdriver'. Still running at 1.6 lb/hr ( 1.8 lb/hr w/ trim adjustment ) this weekend. Glad that everyone stoves are running well.

 

That would be a great idea if I didn't have the garage for that. At 35*, it does a fine job of it. Went to the liquor store a couple of weeks ago and put my haul in the 4 wheel dump barrow - first year I haven't had vehicles in the garage so the barrow is getting pampered this year. Plus, once the temp outside got to +20*, all the frost was gone from the OAK (at +15, frost was only there for a couple of inches)

I've been on Margaritas (strawberry or watermelon) and Malibu Rum mixes this year. Vodka is soooo 5 years ago

 

Temp. set at 73 the Allure just chugged along, it's do for a cleaning so maybe tonight after work I will clean it out.

 

Yup, it's been awhile. Glad to see you are drinking healthy & getting your daily intake of domestic / tropical fruits and related vitamins.

 

The pellets definitely make a difference with our P43. In the frigid temps the douglas fir pellets work the best.

DF pellets are, IMO, the best you can get. If I had them in my stash, they would be the go-to pellet for the really cold days. Never had a chance to burn any when I was still in NY in the big house.

 

Hall84 , I think you posted this in the wrong forum....this is the pellet forum.

 

Sorry my fault

 

No problem we like hearing how those wood stoves are running . I’m thinking about getting a tiny/ dwarf stove for my small 3 season porch

 

Out of the 2 tons I bought a couple years ago used maybe 5 bags over that time. This winter is more like the Januarys I remember growing up. Looking at the 10 day forecast it looks like I'll be using a few bags of them Thurs nite thru Sat then next Mon-Wed. All usual Jan days, 10* at night, low to mid 20s during the day.

No worries brother all are welcome here , many of us are former cut split and stack folks , who just don't want to do that anymore , mind says we can still do that , but the body says BS . Not that humping 40lb. bags of pellets is EZ either

 

I hear you on that buddy.

 

We don't care! It keeps us informed!

 

Did I ever tell you that I love my Accentra II? Probably. The lowest we saw was 3 degrees and it just kept the house at the setpoint of 67. Best investment I ever made! My oil furnace is set at 60. The only time it comes on is early in the morning after the house cools off. (I turn the pellet burner down to 60 at night and up to 67 whenever I wake up)

 

I agree...
We don't get that cold ....plus we only have the two pellet stoves sucking on the air.

It does keep cooking odors and that stale smell from cropping up...

I did install an OAK in the raised hearth in the family room (Big Whitfield) But it is capped off at present......
