    Stove just has not been putting out the heat, like I thought it should...
    kept turning it up a little but usually don't have to do that...
    Then I was thinking....
    'It's been a while since I cleaned it'.
    I know.. I know..! follow the suggestions in the manual!
    And what everyone else does...
    But... I just don't think of it.. or... put it off.
    Yesterday it was near 50° so I thought it was a good time to do it.
    I honestly can't remember the last time I did..
    Well.. it was pretty dusty... heat exchanger, and side panels had more
    "insulation" than my house..
    So I did a good clean job..
    Holy crap... talk about a shot of B12..
    Got the room up to 75° about 20 minutes after re-fire...
    Turned it back down, it was 71° this morning when I got up.
    (usually around 67-68).
    Moral of the story.
    Well... you know.

    I think it's like the IRS takes your gross earning and exchanges it for some puny pay check :whistle::whistle:
