    I'm close to 20 bags already; I just looked at pics I took after stacking the 4 tons, and I've used 2 rows (5 bags each) then add in the 8 bags I've bought randomly. Oh, and I had already filled the stoves when the pics were taken so with what the stoves have in them now 20 bags is a pretty good number.

    I ran thru 1 bag really quick and the main floor was about a million degrees one day when I got home from work. The P43 was set at 67 (which means house is 71-72) and on auto. I had filled the hopper before leaving for work and it was about 2 cups away from being empty when I got home. Finally realized the temp probe had fallen on the floor. Probably the fastest I've ever burned an entire bag with a main floor stove :picard:

    I'd save them for colder weather. No need for high octane yet.

    First real test of the season . The stove performed like a champ keeping us nice and cosy at 71 - 72 degrees upstairs . My setting are 74 degrees downstairs with a swing setting of # 6 on the Lux thermostat which gives me a 40 minute on time and 20 mins. off keeping the house a nice even temp . Now I'm off to the stove shop to see what they on hand for pellets . :binoculars:

    Still haven't fired up either pellet burner yet. I've had a few fires in the wood insert and have been letting the oil furnace take the chill off in the mornings. Sounds like next weekend it's going to cool down a bit. It's 63 and rainy here today.

    Temp never got higher then 50*F today. Stove's been on and off all day. Headed to the low 30's tonight so the next time it fires I'll be switching to high/low for the first time!! Might keep it on High/Low all day tomorrow. Cold raw and rainy(damp) is scheduled!!

    I'm really surprised mine didn't fire this morning, Had to check to see it didn't run out?

    But should go off shortly. Getting chilly in here.
