Just curious in general if anyone actually does this, or is it too hair brained of an idea? With this recent cold spell, and my increasing need...
Currently sitting at -21C feels -28C, which for some reason seems downright balmy compared to our last few days, but it's not over yet...should be...
Pretty sure I'm a frequent flyer in the 100 degree club year after year.
Well, -25C feels -38C this morning, so things are getting somewhat better here. Cracked over 6.5 hours sleep in 2 chunks, so I'm almost dancing on...
There's no doubt about that, seems everything takes a half arsed swing and even then you almost need to cut back on the power!
Yep, I included the broken link above now. Not exactly a controlled scientific test, but enough to give a baseline for rough numbers that prove...
I tested this theory years ago and made a post about it, but I don't recall if it was here or on another forum. If I recall, it was an 8-10" piece...
Still stuck in a deep freeze, -30C feels -43C. Yay. Furnace/stove/oven doing their thing.
More of the same up here, currently -33C feels -45C. Had my 2 part sleep, wife got up a few times to run water, and so far (at least) so good....
Normally I take it in stride, but these winters (and this has been a nice one so far) are getting old. I'm ready to go anywhere warmer that'll...
So, short sleepin' during -35C feels -47,48 or 50, depending where you look to keep the shack sorta warm and water lines running. Pulled a 3 hour...
Weather guessers off by a few it seems...-35C feels -46C. Having a hard time keeping the shack warm, as normally by now the skirting is banked...
Where the heck in MT are you that it's colder than my province of Sask above?
We're in it now, -32C feels -44C this morning. Slept almost 5 hours instead of getting up to feed the fire, and she's a tad chilly.
I found for myself, that cutting excess and crappy carbs was probably the easiest thing to do, while at the same time bumping protein and fat...
Winter is officially here. Sitting at -28C/-20F ballpark and then some wind (feels -35C) to make it even better. Woodstove and furnace tag team...
About every 4-6 weeks is perfect for my schedule:thumbs:
Another vote for damp newspaper and ash with paper towel for the final wipe. Truth be told, as time goes on I personally care less and less about...
Almost forgot, -20C/-4F currently. Pine chunks for breakfast. Tightened up my air plate and blocked a few secondary holes to simmer the reactor...
Seems that the polar vortex is gonna bless many in Canada...
