Get it to 90 and the better half might strip down!
 
Its about 65 in mine. Is the fire crankin up right now? Yes it is! Ill report back in about 2 hrs.
 
In the 80's and all reloaded.Ahhhhh!
 
It's a happy situation when you can just open the house door to cool it down-so you can burn more! call me enthusiastic-this is my 1st season in many years. Pardon me for yacking! but I want to say I am a little amazed. With burning wood I was expecting the house air to perhaps have a tinge of smoke smell, but there is none, and the other thing is the ambient air smells good! no air fresheners needed. I say yes! load the stove :)
 
I am embarrassed to say that the mancave is 83 degrees....ok, I put a lil too much wood in the 30 dammit... :-S
I do have a box fan blowing into the room as well as all the ceiling fans going....
I need to learn not to put too much wood in it...it is a "learning curve"....from the 13...
So shorts and tanks all around....it's all good...it's snowing outside afterall... :cheese:

huh? Seriously? I just looked at my weatherbug radar and saw a little in north Texas, but I didnt notice anything else as far as snow.
 
76 in here. 3 hours into a small load of black walnut. Mine will get reloaded so I don't blame ya :)
 
Just spitting snow here today,been in the 30's.41 right now.
 
Dont burn up all your wood before Winter hits, I know it's hard sometimes to hold back.
 
Came home to 66 °F in the house, started a good fire in both stoves........big mistake......a little to warm in here now and I think I will have to let them both go out, even though it will get in the 30's tonight.

Should I load the stove again?

Yes I should!

:coolsmile:

I started a little later than you, and the stove is in the basement, but I am sure trying to catch you!

You are dreamin BB :p and you are about to get called a 'bugger" :cheese:
 
I'm trying to be reasonable this year! 72* following a mini-afternoon fire - will start up an overnight fire at about 10pm. About 3 inches of snow on the ground and temps down to mid-20's tonight. Looks like freakin winter outside! Should melt soon. Cheers!
 
6 cord of free wood,cut and split by myself.I'll be fine and it's not too costly.Stove at 325 and 94 degrees in small stove room.Comfortable 2 rooms away in livingroom.Although we had to open the window some.Darned shoulder burns, they're hard on the glass.
 
Holy crap guys . . . save a bit of wood for later on . . . I like it in the low 70s . . . anything much higher is just a mite too warm for me.
 
Just can't move heat in that small room.It is nice in the rest of the house but not in stove room.It's only a pass through room.70's it is in the rooms other than the stove room.Plenty of wood and i'm gonna be comfortable just wish i could move this air.Moving cold air into room from both ends of the house and it works for those rooms.Just hard to cool stove room.It's fine with us but if we moved that heat we could use it elsewhere.

I'm actually pretty sick right now, so the warmer the better.

Sweat those germs out.....dammit
I think it works.... :)
 
stove burned all night, rich bed of red coal this a,m, house sitting @ 78, outside temp is 23 degrees. All courtesy of 4 pieces of scrub shoulder wood @ 10:00 last night. Life is good
 
Man, if I had my house as warm as some of you are claiming, I wouldn't be able to stand the high pitched whine.
 
And that whine would be me being heard all the way from Joisey...Hot Damn, some of the temps people enjoy defy my imagination. If the inside of the house hits 75 I'm bout ready to go down for the count.

70-72 for me. The ol' lady and my two pups agree thankfully.

Littlalex no thank you I don't want to do a trial run of Hell!
