    We had both stoves going for a while, lows in the teens and highs below freezing. Then we hit 64° the other day and both stoves went cold. Got up this morning to 54°. By noon it was 35°. Tonight's lows will be in the teens again and tomorrow will not get out of the 20s with northwest winds.

    Lit the upstairs stove mid-day and just re-fired the downstairs stove. Need the house warm and comfortable for the kids in the morning.

    Happy Holidays everybody,

    Yes sir a true wood hoarder can't have a cold house on Christmas. It just wouldn't be proper etiquette.

    It is a little more work but so much easier to keep the house evenly heated. I'd rather have two stove running low to medium than one pushing its high limits. When I get lazy or it is going to be a long deep cold spell I use coal in the downstairs stove. With coal I only have to tend it once a day.

    Saw p coal on sale at TSC. First time I had seen coal for sale around here in years. I have a ceramic clad wood/coal stove sitting in the garage with no proper way to vent it.
