Set a new record for us today, heating with only wood insert, 69 degrees in the living room and -11 outside. Anyone else have record splits today?
 
Not today, but last year...I had a 101 degree of separation with wood only. House at 74F and outside temps at -27 (actual). That was my personal best. This year I have had 87 degrees of separation (72F inside, -15F outside).
 
-17 overnight & 70 degrees in the living room where the stove is ( only about 1000 sq ft total heated area though ).

Its not really fun to think that the temps would have to raise 59 degrees just to get to freezing.:mad:
 
Can you imagine having an 87 degree outside temp in the summer & trying to keep it at 0 degrees inside the house ?
 
ya'll get it in the winter and we pay for it in the summer :cool:

Good that our freezer lacks that kind of imagination. ;lol
 
How about a hot tub? -5 outside this morning and 104 in the hot tub.

109* difference!

edit - as for my house it was -5 outside and 67 inside at 5am - 72 degrees.

83 degrees for me.

-12 outside
71 inside
 
I've only got 77 deg but if you factor in the 'realfeel' from accuweather with the bitter wind we have it works out to 92. I could crank up the Equinox a bit and hit 100.::-)
 
This morning it was 86::F in the living room and -3::F outside.

96 degree difference last week -26 outside and 70 inside but don't get me wrong this old place didn't hold there for very long, it was a battle. And by the way I hope to never post on this thread again !!!!!
 
94::F difference between outside and inside yesterday. Just getting used to the new Osburn 2200, 83::F is a bit too hot for inside. ;em
 
I've had it 85+ in the stove room.... and -15F outside burning a load of locust with the stack at about 500 w/ my old smoke dragon. old ass air leaking barely insulated house....

Of course the caveat is that it was in the stove/dining room. I think it was barely 60 in the kitchen or the farthest room on the porch.
