It's 52 and supposed to go down to around 30-32.
Frost warning also.
My morning coffee just might be enjoyed in front of a fire!!
I know....kind of demented but find it relaxing!!
 
i have mine on right now...and its 60 degres in vermont...i just had all the windows open all day and it was getting chilly in here...so it came on by itself. i just closed all the windows and poured a drink....

yes... relaxing is the word of the day.

Had mine on this morning, last night got down to 30. Tonight maybe even 28, so in the morning I'll be firing her up again. I need to change the directions of the ceiling fans too.
 
I spoke to soon, was all set to have a nice fire but as my luck would have it, it isn’t going to happen. top auger not turning, switched leads from bottom auger to top motor to make sure it is working, motor turns fine no jams, then i by passed and jumpered all vacuum switches top auger still will not turn on COULD IT BE THE CONTROLLER?

Mine is on tonight also. It's 48 and been raining all day, so I figured having the pellets going would be nice and relaxing and it also warms things up and takes the chill off. Nice thing about these stoves, and inserts is you can run them on very low flame and to me thats where they really pay off as far as keeping your furnace from kicking in when its like in the 40's outside. Very relaxing...
 
Still toasty warm here. Picked up another ton today. Wifey helped stack it in the woodshed. She NEVER helped me stack firewood. This is our first year with the pellet stove and she is so happy she doesn't have to mess with wood anymore.

Let the wife fire the stove up last night just so she could learn. Tomorrow I'm going to teach her how to clean it.

Any takers on a bet that she won't like that anywhere near as much as the loading/starting part???? :p

Hubby and I have had wood stove heat only for the last 6 ish years and I am so glad to have the pellet stove. This is our first experience with one and so far I'm liking it. My husband is out of town so I am working all the bugs out while he's gone. We used to go cut our own wood and the last year of that we got into a hornets nest and I decided let someone else cut it after that!
 
I have been heating with mine for a few weeks now. I just have to fire it every other day mostly though since it's still been in the 30s-low 40s at night for the most part. Couple nights it was in the low 20s though.
 
Had mine on the thermostat for a little over a week. Stove has been starting up on those cold evenings and mornings. Right now at 9 AM it's 47 °F, and warm and toasty inside
 
Got down to 22 last night, but didn't fire it up. Downstairs was 57 when i got up...ouch...
 
Just cranked mine up. Last week we were boating....this week the stove is lit....must be fall in the Northeast.....
 
The only thing I dont like is the thermostat that came with my sante fe. I will be trying to find something different.
