Burning Hunk
Sep 28, 2011

Poughkeepsie ny
JUST started up the stove , it's only my second run of the season so far. With the low tonight of 34 I think the season might be here.
 
My stove is on thermostat so I dont choose to turn it on or off, it just does it.

Burned wood yesterday and today. Cold this am but had windows open by afternoon! Not feeling so bad, been burning all my cut offs and scraps.
 
I've ran a few break-ins and shoulders, but going to put a nice sized load on in a few minutes. Frost warning here also.
 
Trying to holdout till November, just running a couple of quartz heaters

Mines been on and off for few days this week. using it and learning how to get MAJOR heat and how to milk it out for not so cold days. stayed in 50's here today but super windy so i left it putter along. So far im pretty impressed with it..but if it gets to cold and this little pellet stove wont work, ill fire up my fire breathing dragon and feed it some of its 11 cords i got layin around. lol
 
Installed my new Harman P68 yesterday and gave it it's first run last night. What a machine! Just started it up for the night a few minutes ago for it's second run. It is not real cold here (low about 43) but the wife likes to stay warm. Trying to get used to what the best settings are and such. I had it tuned down pretty low and it still pumped out the heat. Last night the house stat was reading 60 and it heated up to 74 in a short time.

I let it get up to 76 in here and couldn't take it so I lowered it down. Just started it about 15-20 minutes ago and it has already raised the temp one degree. Stat is a ways away from the P68. I will be turning it down in just a bit for the night. Like it a lot so far. I am new to the pellet game as this is my first pellet stove. I have heated with wood for a long while though. 40 lb bags are sooooo much easier.
 
Was going to start mine tonight, but decided to not fire it up yet. It is 39 here now and going lower, but with the little electric heater going it will be comfortable through the night. Going back to the mid 50's low 60's over the next week so I may make it till Nov 1 with out using it.
 
Friday I put mine on auto and still going now had some cool weather this weekend
 
been on by thermostat since late morning .. it will be shutting it self off for the night in a couple of hours
 
I have mine running! New stove so interested In how the night goes.. Hoping the house stays at a good 70* with the stove on low
What stove do you have?
 
Yep. Cold tonight. I expect many will turn the heat on.
 
Running on low all day here. Will be putting it on room temp tonight.
 
Just fired it up at about 945 tonight. It is 38 outside inside is 67 fun for a few hours then turn off before I go to bed at 1145 or so. Few hours will heat the house up and keep it warm till the sun is un in the AM. Bag number 2 for the year.
 
yah 38 outside, 75 inside. Loving this thing so far!
 
I also got told to start it up for the first time yesterday... truth be told, I was just excited to :)
 
Yup- we lit the Accentra 52i last night!
