and the Empress is cranking along and the house is a toasty 68* on it's way up to 70. If the sun stays out might even be able to shut down for a few hours to do a good cleaning!
BRRRRR 0.8* this morning!

I think another few degrees colder i would of had to kick in the electric heat. Stove cranked on high all night long, maintained 67 all night.
Our P61A was on Stove Temp HI all night & the adjoining room, which would normally be at 68 - 69 with that setting was at 63 when I got up at 0515...Hadda burn some LP to get the room to 68...

-5 or so this morning. Ran in room temp manual and used about 1/3 of a bag to keep house at 64 degrees. Can't complain!

here this morning a new two year low for this location, stove is doing just fine on those "shoulder" pellets, still no reason to go to the cold weather stuff.

Same here. Still not convinced that I need to shell out more than $235/ton including delivery. The Harman handles the cheaper stuff just fine. I like saving the money for more pellets!-12

Was -3 outside here this morning. P61a was set for RT auto on 69. When I got up the first floor was at 71 and the second floor was at 67. Have I mentioned that I love this stove? Pellets are NEWP. Do folks here consider those a shoulder season pellet? I haven't tried anything else yet but they appear to be doing well. I'm going to start experimenting anyway by buying a few bags of other brands.
Basement was a chilly 40, but that's the tradeoff for having the stove in the living room. I'm sure the mice aren't happy.

I had the stove on level 3 (out of 5) last night. The living room (where the stove is) was 75, and the bedrooms on the opposite end of the house were 70. I'm very happy that I don't have to use the electric heat!
yes most on here would consider the NEWP or GS's a shoulder pellet,... although they seem very consistent,.. there are pellets that burn hotter.

7 degrees and dropping at 9 AM (it was 9 degrees at 8 AM). The Mt Vernon is keeping the house is at 70. It ate 3/4 of a bag of pellets last night. I'm not complaining, just commenting.
I usually clean the stove after the morning warm-up, when it shuts itself down. I haven't seen the stove totally shut down in the past three days. I guess I'm going to have to shut it down myself to clean it.

I guess I'll chime in and say that my NPI40 could NOT keep my 2000sqft at 70* overnight with the 1* outside ... dropped down to 64 in the middle of the house, colder in the furthest rooms. Oh well. It keeps up fine when the weather's in the teens on up. It's undersized, but came with the house (my first winter in this house)

It was 7 degrees in West Hurley, NY (near Kingston). At 2:00am temp was 74 degrees when pellet stove ran out of pellets as planned. When I awoke it was 60 degrees in house at 7:00am which is when I reloaded/restarted Harman Advanced. In about one hour, the temp of house was back up to 70 degrees heating about 800 square feet. We have a floor fan in hall way that blows cold air from back bedrooms in raised ranch toward living room where the pellet stove is. Two bedrooms downstairs with doors closed heated by fuel oil via hot water baseboard heat.
The nice part of pellet stove heat is I can close off the upstairs bedrooms and keep them cold during the day. That reduces the square foot of floor space that I heat by about 400 square feet.

Hey Nate, will be enjoying the warm spell that your sending down. -4 this AM, Harman doing its job and we don't need no stinking oil sourced fuel, but the cool weather is hard on the stash!

ok, what am I doing wrong then?
it was 7 this mroning here... I had my stove on 3/5 like usual, thermo set to 66 for wake up (coming from 63 from the overnight) and my house was 61 this morning.
my house is newer (1997), well insulated, and i'm burning above average pellets.
wtf?

I'm pretty happy my Vista Flame kept the house a steady 68 on 1/5 in the 4* weather last night. I buped it up a notch today to make it nice and warm for the girlfriend. The stove may be a little oversized for the house but like I say, "if it's worth doing, its worth over doing"
