    I’m running a drolet ht3000, we just have 8” of snow in 24hrs and now we’re in a deep freeze feels like -30c right now.
    You must have felt some of the effects of the “bomb cyclone”?

    What stove are you running?

    Him and our other dog love taking turns. He will watch the flames for hours. Not sure what goes through his head it must be something evolutionary.

    Mine are 5 and 2. The gate also keeps the toys and blankets and stuff away. I get annoyed by the gates, but they definitely serve a purpose.

    I think it was around 2 ft over 3 or so days. Lots of shoveling. The highways were horrible. The highway crews do what they can. Im looking forward to it getting a bit colder to add a few more inches of ice to our lakes and this snow doesn't help! We had sun today and it got as warm as the freezing mark so that was nice. Ive had a pacific energy for the last 13 or so years. Its been good for us.

    Did you ever get in contact with a manager about NC being colder than VT? He hasn't fixed it yet.

    Whats your opinion of the HT3000? Did you do any air intake alterations/reduction by chance? Curious. Thanks

    Morning snow, I did purchase the fresh air kit but never ended up installing. Turns out we have a combustible air intake right beside our furnace. As far as the stove goes it’s been great, this is our first year so we’re learning but the big fire box is sure nice.

    We have been turning on our furnace twice a day to warm up the house, other than that we use the furnace fan to circulate the air through the home. Pretty okay for us at -11.2 ℉/-24c for the last few days

    34/66 no fire but I'm sure it'll get started some time today.

    Currently 18 degrees F here and snowing.
    Burning some nice dry Ponderosa Pine.
    74 degrees in the Casa.

    My wife wants to plow the driveway today, so I’ll let her - just this once…
