There was a Buck 26 installed here when I moved in. I pulled that out and took it to my old place and took my Quad Isle Royale over to the new...
Yea that is a great deal!! I might upgrade in the future if yours works well. Def a chilly morning, down to 65 upstairs and 74 downstairs. Stove...
Thanks! I was able to use the custom tarps I made at the old place to cover the trailer until I could unload it.
I have the same weather station just not internet accessible. I believe they have the same measuring hub. I've had mine for a year now and LOVE...

Things have been busy around here since the move and holidays, but I'm finally getting around to moving my wood from the old place over to the new...
We saw -3 last night and got up to about 16 today. The really cold stuff for us is suppose to set in mon and Tuesday after the storm. Might see...
I keep both my stats set at 60F and they haven't kicked on in about 3-4 weeks now. I have a propane furnace so I try to use my furnace as little...
And that 60,000 btu loss is with a 70F temp differential. Ohio winters are no Alaska winter but 0F outside is cold no matter where you are.
Keep in mind I'm heating 2500 sqft plus a 900 sqft finished basement. The house was built in the mid 90's with good insulation. This house holds...
I believe what you witnessed Machria and do not discredit you at all for your experience. The problem I have with it is that you are taking one...
Yea I agree. I've looked at 3-4 different calculations and I come up with anywhere from 50,000-60,000 btu/hr loss for my home with a 60-80F temp...
Ah good to know. I'll try to find a few more calculations and take an avg of a few.
Here's a nice website that makes it pretty simple to figure out heat loss per hour....
Same here, I loaded it up before work at 7:00 am and had a nice bed of coals by 4:30 pm. I just added a couple pieces at a time this evening and...
I'd like to see these calculations followed by amount of BTU's required/sqft to heat a home at avg assumptions of heat loss thru walls and...
If you double your SW temps thats about right on with the temps I see from my probe temp gauge.
I've used it some Mitch. It def slows the fire down. The problem was once you get out of the peak part of the burn it slows the draft down too...
I use to run at 750-800 STT with 15' of straight up flue. I would see flue probe temps of 1000-1100F occasionally. It ran around 800-900F normal...
I heated all last year with an old resolute (cast iron stove) without a blower and the end of last year and beginning of this year without a...
