Similar results here, the other nite at 10PM I put on 4- 18" splits and a 10" on top, and 12 hrs later the house was 70 (24 outside) and had a nice bed of coals to load onto, heating a large 1867 Circa Queen Anne/Victorian style house. This with computer and blower on low-I have not moved the lower limit switch from the factory placement and leave it set at 103. It amazes me as to how quickly the blower kicks in after a reload onto coals, usually within 4-5 minutes.
I would think it would kick in fast when it's made to blow 90 degree air... Mines down there on coals right now still blowing 82 degree air... That some how has to heat my house.... Good luck sealing enough to make that happen
Mine here too Ive been working on this place for 6 years or so it didn't even have running water when I got it.
Yeah you won't get real hot air toward the end...which works for me, let the house cool a bit before reloading...get too hot in here otherwise...not your experience thus far though I know...
Wow, that's about all we had going for us here. Sometimes we get discouraged at how neglected and damaged this house was and the money we've spent fixing it, but it would have cost a fortune to get power, septic, and a well put in on naked land. Once you add in the slab, driveway, and other amenities it wasn't a bad deal.
No I seen it with the dry wall down the whole addition is r19 walls roof crawl space everything. Idk what the original house is but I do know the attics is up to your knee if you stand in it.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it got it warm to start with. I wouldn't mind using a little electric while it was burning down
It's 68 in the house today so it's kind of keeping up today I guess. I got 4 more degrees at the register today with the cardboard.
Yeah, I feel like the house is probably R15 for the majority of the exterior walls. Maybe the addition has good insulation, but it has the crawlspace issue. Between the ducts loosing a bunch of heat throughout the crawl space, the transom windows letting the basement heat out, and 1990 energy building codes it's amazing the Clayton could keep up.
That's a significant difference I say. Perhaps you can get a bit of cumulative effect and keep the train going.
The clayton didn't even try to keep it warm unless it was in the negatives but it always got it warm
I think it's just to slow to heat it up. As it leaks out faster then it comes in from the stove. The clayton would heat it 5 degrees in a half a hour. I know no one believes me but it's true! My freinds can't believe the house is cold now when they come to visit.
Is that all? My Morso is rated at 28k btu/hr nominal and 34k max. A quick Google search says the Clayton is rated up to 180k.
