Feeling the Heat

Thank you all. I did just pick up a humidifier, but we're looking to unload the piano. We have plans to open the wall by the piano when we renovate the kitchen on the other side. It'll open up the space and let the heat from the stove into that part of the house. As of now the stove will run us out of the room.
Ta Da! Great job, the install looks wonderful.
If the room is getting too warm, place a table fan on the floor in a cooler area of the house the is open to the stove room (line of sight). Point the fan toward the stove room and run it on low speed. You will find the cooler area warming up and the stove room cooling down within 15-30 minutes.
Also, the Oslo should run fine on a half load of wood. Save the full loads for very cold days. Just let the stove go out if the area is warm enough.

Thanks begreen. I'll try that with a fan, I have one in the room with the stove, pointing toward the door, just the opposite of what you sujest. It's been unusually cold here so I've been loading it full in the mornings and at bedtime and burning odd shape prices during the day.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to add multiple links to the same post.https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/horse-hair-plaster.127225/
Most folks do it that way and are not working with nature. Cold air will be denser, down low. Put the fan on the floor pointing into the stove room for better results.
