    A welcome reprieve, minus the germ incubation that may or may not occur.:confused:
    Hopefully I'll be mended up from my recent URI by then....

    After reading a good portion of this thread, I decided to give the N/S way of loading a stove a try. It was 10 degrees out with moderate winds at about 35mph. I will admit, it was a nice looking fire, but way too much for my house. I mean dang, 87 degrees with the stove damped all the way down to just smouldering!:bug:So y'all know I wasn't wearing much at all! :emb: But it was worth a try to see what it would do loading N/S vs E/W.

    Over this last Friday and Saturday, the overnight temperatures dropped to 2 and 5 degrees outside with winds of 40 to 55mph here. I loaded a couple of 3" x 8" x 16" oak splits (4 year seasoned) and the house was still plenty warm at 77 degrees which held for about 6 hours with the damper open about a 16th of an inch before reloading. When I load nothing but hardwoods, the damper gets set at about a 16th of an inch open. For the softwoods and soft hardwood (poplar + cucumber) I'll open the damper to about an 8th inch.

    As a side note: the temperatures this week will make it back up to about 60 by Friday.

    With the way y'all load, I'm imagining all of you menfolk running around with nothing but a smile on. :binoculars::)
