    Happy 2017 guys and gals! We went to a new years eve party last night so the stove went cold even before midnight. Since I had a few wobbly pops I figured it best not to play with fire. The stove is still cold but now I have cold toes and the forced air furnace is cycling on and off which is annoying. Ill take this opportunity to scoop out some ashes, clean the glass and load er up and get the house back up to 24c/75f! Currently its -10c/14f out with a cold week ahead.

    Cheers . I could burn a candle in it and I'd still love it. It's not something I needed but something I've always wanted .

    Current temp 24°F with a low of 10°F tonight. Being gone all day, the house dropped to 63°, then i was working outside until a little bit ago. Loaded the oakleaf with ash and birch and lit the pellet stove for a quick warm-up. While raking the roof, noticed a pile of snow on the oil chimney, gotta love it!

    20 or so here. Been on vacation all week so the Napoleon has been going nonstop since last Thursday. Gas only kicked in once when I may have had one too many and "forgot" to get up in the morning and load the stove, was still able to light from coals around noon that day. Just loaded up for the night. Real mixed bag tonight, ash, sugar and red maple and a split of white oak that's probably not ready yet but just wanted to see how it would burn.

    Nice. Ive been intrigued by Napoleon for years. They seem like well built stoves.

    23° I just let the dog out and tossed in a few pieces of oak branches to turn some coals into ashes.
