    He was mumbling things like "....too cold", "pellet stash low", and a terrified voice.....something about watching over his shoulder :heidi:

    Compared to last night's wind when I went out to check if I needed to turn up the pellet stove, it was nice. I hate cold and I AM cold most of the time.

    Edit - not like I went out there in shorts. I had on my t-shirt, sweatshirt and a heavy sweater, My feet were covered by socks and shoes. (and I had on pants too - just because if I don't say that there will be some smarty pants out there making comments)

    Called for 21 below last night it was 28.6 below this morning. After burning a pallet of LeCrete since firing up the stove this year and being very happy. Yesterday I started burning Northern Warmth Supreme Douglas Fir.....:thumbs: , great heat! The stove has been flawless with absolutely no errors this year. It turns out that burning well aged LG Granules that the dealer stored outside for at least a year, really made it miserable to bother burning pellets.

    We came home last week because of the severe temperatures that weren't just expected but ended up being exceeded. I'm glad we did, many of the neighbors have no running water, some with no septic lines running also...that sucks. We had this mean streak of temp's back in 2004 when we bought this place. We had weeks of -17 to -35.:bug:

    We were heading to Ottawa next week with the travel trailer, I think we'll stay home for a while instead.

    Happy New Year to all!

    That is a lot of pellets to have on hand. Glad you have the place to store them. Big issue for me now that I have to share space with my son and his family.

    You don't have to work outside in that, I hope?

    It was close to that cold here about 3am, -9F, -23F wind chill -

    so cold, I couldn't keep working in the porch room / workshop on rehabbing the stove (New Year's resolution). That's just plain miserable cold.

    Stay safe & warm there, Smoke. :yes:

    If you change your mind, I'll be in Ottawa on the 3rd to the 5th. At the same time you can bring me a /few bags of Northern Warmth Douglas Fir, something pellet heads do from time to time:D
