Who's firing up the stove tonight ?

Update: Stove is burning beautifully - had to increase combustion blower RPM by 400 as the temps. are dropping here to keep the burn pot clean / burn rate consistent.

In honor of Francesca's excellent performance today, and because the Boss has been humming this tune all day, tonight's theme is the Trammp's song: "Disco Inferno".

( Sorry Guys. Really. I didn't pick it.. But now she's got me singing along w/ her, Oh Boy.. )

 

Did you put on your white platform shoes mine were red by the way

 

I did! (No, not really, only if you consider steel-toed hiking boots "platform" shoes. )

I still sucked at dancing though. Red platform shoes - way to Rock those shoes will!

Francesca is smoking this evening! Burning the La Cretes tonight, she's getting the Hot Stuff!

In honor of these -Excellent- burning La Cretes, (and will's Red platform shoes), tonight's theme is the Donna Summer song "Hot Stuff".

Go get 'em will!

 

dancing girls ftw!

 

24 deg. here now so the E2 is running on stat. set to 72 deg. nice and warm watching the Pats and Bills with the little dachshund on my lap. Stove needs to be cleaned, but it will have to wait until the weekend.

Doggy

 

And no beer?

 

Still doing on/off here. Found the stove on in the middle of the night for the first time this year.

 

Another warm up on the way, the stove will see little use.

 

Go get 'em Joey....show pops how it's done!

 

no beer wine

 

Low twenties last night had the stove on high and feed gate about 80 % open but was tempted to go wide open would that be possible with the Classic Bay 1200 or am I just wasting fuel ? I also added a couple of floor grates so the heat can rise in a couple of key areas .

 

Started out in the 20's here , but it's looking like a top 5 day here for Nov. sunny , calm, temps pushing into the 50's , clear Blue sky , I see the stoves going off here for awhile .

 

We have been in a dry east wind pattern here with lows in the 20's F and highs in the 40 F range the past few days.

Big Whit running around the clock and the Little Whit fired up at night to help.

Ripped into the Big Whit yesterday afternoon and did a good deep cleaning, as it has not been cleaned completely in a month.
Every week the fire box gets mucked out, but the baffles were full and the entire unit needed a visit from the leaf blower

Ahhhh yess, and lets not forget the vent brush too, oooooh, feels soooo good.

Having the big boy offline for about 2 hours to cool and clean really drops the temps in the shack for sure.

The little stove shoulders on, but it can't even keep up when it's cold.

All better now and both are doing their thing this morning at O DARK THIRTY

Rain forecast to return later today and through the week along with Warmer temps

Just another winter day.

 

The 10 day forecast looks to be on the warm side for this time of year.
