I know what you mean! We went 15 hours on a 3/4 load in the T6 last night and the stove still close to 300 degrees! I am so thankful for the break in the cold!
I loaded up about 10 last night. It was burning pretty hard, and sometime overnight the wind died down. Woke up to a 79° house Cranked the air down and shut the blowers off. Gonna load it again here in a few minutes. Was a nice day to be outside, for a change.
No kidding. I was getting tired of the 20+ degrees BELOW seasonal temps. I let the other two stoves burn down, cleaned out the ash and the glass. Still running three stoves, but that's just to keep some even heat going on. After tonight, it will be two stoves for the next few days. Both of which will be run much easier with extended burn times.
After the bitter cold we have had, this break with the temp hitting 32 feels like Spring/shoulder season. Sooo easy to keep the house warm with just a few 2 to 3 inch branches. Nice even temp throughout the house. That's the difference between a 35 -40 degree differential between inside and outdoors, and the 100 degree differential we were dealing with. We had two days the past few weeks with lows below -30, lots with lows below -25. And a lot of wind with those cold temps.
I didn't check the outside temp after dinner and loaded the stove as usual these days. It got real warm fast as its still in the 30's now. Almost surreal to see that after the past month. Its hot in here now!
We are having an on again off again heat wave sometimes almost approaches 20 degs F during the day, neg ative # for Wed. night wind chill # around -30
Browning Bar, What kind of wood load did you have for the 14.5 hour burn? Large Splits or medium or a mix and what kind of wood.
This was four days ago. I can barely remember what I had for dinner last night. But, right now I am working through some large splits. So, this load should have been about three large splits plus some space filler splits.
