Woke up at 4:30 this morning to find it 15° outside and a bit gusty. Cozy inside at 71°. Burning Heatr's from HD.
Room Temp set at about 74 typically gives me 71/72 in real temp and has done so despite the colder weather. Feed rate 3, because the Heatr's are pretty small and each auger crank delivers more fuel than with a longer pellet.
If the cold weather persists, as forecasted, for more than another 36 hours, I will burn oil for a half hour in the morning and again before bed to heat the envelope and farther reaches of the house with my beautiful old cast iron steam radiators. Our 1800 sq. ft., 120 year old, stone and brick house retains heat well, despite poor/little insulation, so no complaints here.
Stay warm my friends!
