    Forecast here calls for 58* - 63* next Monday - Friday during the day. Nighttime temps 37* - 50*.

    I'll take it for Nov. 16-20 :yes: As I remember, I had the heat on in the beginning of Oct. last year. This is great!

    I'm anticipating that if and when the cold weather hits that this new stove is going to eat through pellets like crazy. I think I'll be going over my 3 ton a year usage.

    That's for sure the hopper empties quick . I think it holds about 60 lbs. but that's the price you pay for a turbo ! :DI'm estimating 4 tons .

    I expected my hopper to have enough room for another bag. Its sunny, But breezy and chilly. But low and behold its didn't fire this afternoon. I do expect it to kick off here in a lil bit though!!

    House is 71°F right now, But I'm feelin a chill. It may be from the cold brews?? So I might just jack up the stat to 73°F.................... :whistle:

    I also just kicked it in high/low mode. Tonight is supposed to be close to freezing so I figured might as well wake up warm too! :D
