    Woke up to 11* out 65* in. Filled the stove with oak, ash and cherry. It was actually 71* in the little room at the top of the basement steps but 65* in the room right next to it. Time to get the little floor fan out...

    Winter is back! -3 chill factor this morning. Burning some nice dry beech. 72 inside and climbing
    Been a crazy summer and fall around here and I’m almost ready to slow it down for a bit. Hope you all had a great summer! I fired up the Fireview for the first time on 10/28 and it’s been going pretty steady since.

    18° right now, burning red oak nuggets I have stored in these feed bags. Stove chow! I have 6 of these bags full, maybe I can get through them today. They're kind of awkward to store. IMG_20191113_14501.jpg IMG_20191113_22921.jpg

    Good news/bad news this morning.

    Good news is sometime last night, clouds moved in and we avoided the low temps!! :handshake:

    Bad news is the clouds that moved in are now dropping snow. :doh:

    12f for my morning walk. (only slipped once-fall averted!)

    I can help you through that "awkward" sage if you choose. Bring those full bags down to UPS and send them to the U.P. :D

    I threw on some silver maple this am to burn down coals from last night. I loaded the stove about 10 pm with a chunk of apple, and the rest ash. That was a nice bed of coals. It warmed up overnight. It was 8° at like 10pm, and when I went to bed it was 10°.

    19° outside now. Wife's happy at home, so whatever temp it is inside is obviously fine.

    ReelFaster,

    How does the heat from your insert affect the television above it? Any issues at all? I have my Ideal Steel down stairs in the basement and it heats the house well, but I have a large open masonry fireplace upstairs in the living room with a large tv above it and I've always wondered if I could put an insert in there to heat the living room if I didnt want to use the big IS....

    Just curious

    You should have seen it one year when we lived near Gaylord, MI. Another couple had moved there during the summer months. They came from about the middle of Ohio and thought they knew what winter was like. What an eye opener it was for them. I fondly remember going to his place one year on Easter Sunday. He had always went golfing on Easter in Ohio. We measured the snow in his yard that day and it was mostly 48" deep. They could hardly believe it and were gone before the following winter. lol

    Didn't get down to zero last night but was mighty close. Fireview has been cooking. I looked once last night and it was at 690 degrees. Felt great too! Weather is supposed to moderate just a bit the next few days. Tonight only down around 20-23.

    I can't answer for him regarding his TV, but I'd advise not putting a TV over the fireplace/ especially not an insert that is actually used like FHC'ERS do.

    The heat is not good for TV's, and it's not an ideal location due to the typical height of the mantle.

    Don't mount a TV above a fireplace
    Or another article..
    Reasons not to mount a TV over your fireplace, and how to do it anyway..
