Ran my stove in June last year. In my defense two small children who refuse to wear socks.
 
I won't even think about the final cleaning until mid May, and at the point it's the last thing I want to deal with :)

April 12, 39 degrees, stove is running.
 
Did my cleaning yesterday, done for the season. Six of the 12 bags of GAPs left that I had to buy 3 weeks ago.
 
Stoves been idle for around a week. I haven't checked to see if it still has pellets even. Bet I get home to a chilly house and a cranky wife tonight! ;em

Note to self, Add insulation to dog house! :(

And another pellet stove ;lol

*34 and raining ice. Needless to say that the stove is on and will be for few more weeks.
 
Will be burning overnight for at least the next week. And to think it was in the mid 80's earlier this week! _g

The temps have been a roller coaster this spring. I typically do my summer cleaning mid May. I'd rather not have to do it twice. Two days ago it was 85, it's 40 right now.
 
It's 28F/-2C and we have that white stuff in the air for the second time today - 2" fresh stuff from this morning:( I was going to start a thread saying - It's back :mad:
 
Ground is white again here, not that it was all gone anyway.

Freezing rain, sleet, rain, and snow here today.
 
April 12th 34 degrees and Ice rain, I can't believe I am still using pellets daily!!!
 
Grrrr..........::-)

Could be worse. Ever been to Cincy in the summer? Hello heat and humidity.

This weather is killing me. I'm waaay overdue for a cleaning, but should be able to shut down any day now...IF it would ever warm up. Average high for my area today is 66. Forecasted high is 47. I'm starting to get a bit of a dirty burn, and am tempted to give it the final cleaning and call it quits.
 
I'm going to shut down the stove next week for the season, that is if the wife doesn't grumble:confused:
 
34 degrees and damp this morning and my stove is on. Has been off and on the past couple of weeks. Have burned into May several other years so wouldn't be a first if it comes to that.
