How is that Wall stove keeping things warm? Any problems with keeping the wood stacked like that?

Things are pretty warm at the moment, bedroom window will be open and fan on (white noise from last summer and yes, it is hot). not sure on the wood comment... I do not have a "proper base", I use the same wood as my base but usually rotate and burn the bottom layer the following year. Please elaborate - thanks.
Here 67 is warm outside, nightly lows in 40's sleeping with window open. But we will hit -35 before winters over a few days of that and 0 is warm.
House is well insulated and holds mid 60's easily at current daytime temps.
I have stove for 24/7 below freezing outside temps because that's where it excels. I'll coast till Nov but burn in May

no prob... Pic shows correct on my view but admit I am not too savvy on these things. Proud to say I do not even own a cell phone...although my wife bought me one of those huge phones back in the 80's because I use to work in the wee hours of the morning and drove a TR6 during my mid-life moments of stupidity. Show the pic or it didn't happen...still sideways?

Right now we are using the electric space heater it does a decent job in the evening when we are home, once it doesn't keep up so well we will turn on the heat pump heat, and then when it get cold fire up the stove. This weekend we are to be having some hard frosts so I imagine the heat pump will be on.
I had a heat pump in my old home, and it felt like the AC was on...until the NG back up would kick in.

The mini-split ductless heat pump thermostat is set at a nice 71F for a few weeks. However it's still too warm outside to use the pellet stove on a regular basis. Even at minimum setting, it will be unbearably hot after an hour!

5 bags down, 2.5 tons to go or so . Heat has been on and off since September 5 this year, September 7 last year. The admiral is home before me so nothing to do but enjoy the heat. Not that it is really cold out, but it takes the dampness out. We have to sleep with the window open though in the bedroom.

Yes! The remote control has the t-stat built-in and commands the indoor wall unit from where it is. So the temperature is read from where the occupants are, not where the indoor unit is, ie near the ceiling. This makes for a very constant and comfortable heating.

I wait till it gets colder. Right now I'm using the heat pump and it heats the house up nice. There calling for 70's this week.

With a trailer, you should be able to get your pellets pretty quick!It is sideways, but that's ok. Good looking car.

4th bag of the season topped off the hopper tonight for me. But this bag and the last had some pellets to toss out ( especially this one), got damp, a corner of each had been outside the tarp earlier in the summer. So pretty dusty in there, the P61 doesn't seem to care so far, these really are not fresh looking pellets any longer ! But I kept the stove on for the last 27 hours, it's cycled on and off all day today, maybe every couple of hours or so. I have it set at just a touch over 70. My dining room is 72. Been a cool damp drizzly day today, the heat feels good !!

I've been running the oil pig... It's just easier for short blasts of warming the house. Still haven't looked at the stove yet this year.
