Have 0* this morning. Only coals left from overnight. BL and oak loaded. I had to turn the oil furnace on to help warm up the house. I hate running that thing.
Woke to a 67 inside temp. I didn’t leave the draft open enough for the 100% load of BL last night. I still have 1/2 a box full of coals. Warm weather is on its way.
It’s 5 degrees right now I stuffed the stove with a hardwood mix and right now I am at work getting my snow call for the day
We have a mild 1 for outside temp.....above zero!! Inside temps is 71, in no hurry to fire up as the VF100 is still running blower intermittently.
If you use a marker to create a black dot for the laser, you may find that your temps read more true.
It warmed up a little last night. Went to bed at -5 and woke up at +1. Wind is blowing hard, but out of the south. Boiler is still half full from last night's load of ash and random square wood.
wrapping the stove in bricks like that is going to make the stove run hot and prevent heat from getting out and into the house. I would’t cover it like that unless I had the blower running.
7 degrees here this morning which is cold for us. Tree of Heaven filled the wood boiler last night, down to not much left this morning but it did it's job.
Currently it is 58* in the house, and it is -10 at the moment, Furnace is running and Hard Maple is burning good from the coals from last night, We'll get that furnace shut off asap.Don't know how cold it got down to.
we have warmed up to 10F here hackberry and oak have not burned any LP yet this morning but I consumed some yesterday uffda
