    Same here with the P68. It's pretty dirty, but I'm holding out until the end of the burning season before cleaning it. Based on the current forecast, it looks like tomorrow night, *possibly* Monday night will be the final burn of the season. After that, fingers crossed mother nature will flip a switch right on schedule and the daytime temps will be 70s and 80s from that point on, with overnights in the 50s and 60s.

    I've thought it a couple times too. Brief warm spells. This time I got my fingers crossed...this is *usually* the latest we burn here too. But who knows what mother nature's got in store???

    I don't really mind the quick chill removals, Pretty much means I won't need the A/C.

    We'll likely go from heatin to coolin and no break in between.......... :makeitrain"

    Spoiled cat!! Bet he/she eats like a king/queen too! :D

    We shut the winders before bed and clipped the stat on. Was surprised it wasn't on when I got up at 5:00 AM. With rain and no sun due today I left it on and kept the windows closed. It will likely fire at some point?????

    Stove was out of fuel when I got home. Had 10 or so pounds left. Gonna dump in another as it looks like we'll need it for a lil bit yet.

    This damp chilly chit and allergies at the same time..... Woot woot!! :loco: :crazy:

    No stove but got the heat pump on, this is ridiculous already. We leave for the Outer Banks on the third, I'm praying for hot weather AND no rain please.
