Low to mid 20's last few days...windy at times.
Loading the stove twice a day.
The kitchen next to the family room where the stove is has been around 70-74 24 hours a day.
The rest of the house is close to that..2500 sq.ft. two story.
What a diff with the BK with a cat + thermostat..compared to one without.
I'm running on 1.75 to 2.
 
28 at 1030pm 72 first floor 68 second floor basement where stove is a little warmer.
 
Stays about 73-75* in the house, don't matter what the temp outside is.
 
Currently 16 degrees outside, but it's morning. Yesterday's high was in the 30's maybe 39. last night it was 20s outside and stoveroom was in 70s.
Woke up this morning to 66 inside and 16 out.
 
Currently 0°F outside, 76°F inside. Drafty old house, walls so thin you could throw a snowball through them, and furnace hasn't been switched on in a very long time.
 
Woke up to 27 outside 69 inside-the wind chill out there brings it down into the upper teens though. Usually I walk out to the woodpile in just my PJs for the morning load-today I threw on a jacket.

16 outside this morning and 68 inside before I turned up the thermostat. Hasn't been above 32 the last couple of days here. The Smoke Dragon OWB has been eating thru the Hickory. Hope my Oslo gets here soon.
 
Last night it was 69 in stove area and 64 in the hall with 25*f outside.
This morning I woke to 65 in stove area / 62 in the hall with 24*f outside.

[edit] note all temps are recorded when I reload stove, thus they tend to be the 'valley' temps - i.e. low points in the burn cycle as such things exist.

This is pretty typical indoor temps although a bit lower as we seem to have an earlier winter this year. I am burning at "January pace" these last couple days but this does seem like January weather so why not - yeah, ask me in February when I am looking at empty space where my wood pile were eh? About 2/3 cord burned so far this year.

So it looks like I'm keeping about 40-45* indoor/outside delta. Not too bad considering I'm heating over 2500sqft with the Fireview alone.

Central heat has not been turned on yet although I keep meaning to give it a spin one of these days to make sure all zones are working (before we go on vacation and have to rely on it).
 
5 degrees this morning with teens for highs today. The house was at 71 degrees after a 9 hour burn last night and hasn't went below 70 since I started burning 24/7. I try to keep it around 73-75 degrees during non sleeping hours.
