Thats right EnglishBob-my back up heat is gas...I love sending them $10.10 per month...the monthly minimum...and I cook with gas too....No other heat comes close to the soothing, muscle relaxing and sweet smelling aroma and warmth of hardwood in the winter...The work is more than worth it, IMO---I trust this finds you and yours well-Happy Thanksgiving
You've really got 'er cooking! I like it warm but that's even hot for me. I don't like that 24F outside temperature either, EnglishBob . I'm really picky on my temperatures. I say if you can do, it and you like it, make that oil man cry!!
No, no and no... I wait all thru the other 3 seasons just to get to the cold one. On the good side... I have noticed that every year starts and ends in winter...
So, ummm EnglishBob..... are you a nudist. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 84 freaking degrees? Egads man! ! Low 70's gets it done here. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
Usually no more than 72 downstairs where the stove is. Upstairs 68. Bedroom door gets shut and it stays between 62-65 in there depending how cold it is. 84 is ridiculous lmao Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's the nice thing about wood heat, don't have to get nervous about the bill. Usually around 73 upstairs above the stove room, bedrooms 68 to 70. The stove room though may hang at those temps you have there at times.
Anything north of 80-82 F inside causes random nap attacks around here. Mid 70's in stove room when mrs around, barely 70 when she's gone for best wood savings and comfort.
My first floor is wide open, stays 70-74 usually. If it were 74 in the house in the summer, I'd be sweating and turning on the ac, but this feels nice. I leave the bedroom door open, but one window on the far end opened 2" and it keeps the bedroom right in the mid 60s There's no way in hell he house would ever be allowed to get this comfortable with the propane boiler in charge!
That is the thing about burning wood. You can have it at 84 and it does not cost any more. I keep my house warmer with wood heat than I would with propane heat.
It does seem strange that we keep our house 80 and sometimes warmer in the winter but in summer we keep it cooler. Just the way it goes I guess, but we notice the same thing in the car. Most times driving to town in winter our heater is set at 80 but in summer usually set to 68. Of course the solar heat in the summer makes a lot of difference and in winter here in MI we really do not get much sunshine; it is usually cloudy.
Humidity and dew points work into the equation as well. Give me a dry 80 degree day over a muggy 75 anyday. Sent from my SM-T280 using Tapatalk
