VCBurner said:Hey Todd,
As always I'm enjoying your threads. -12 is cold, as cold as it gets around here. We have not seen it this year, the lowest it has been is near 0°. We had an unusual October Nor'easter that dumped 22" on my town and 36" just west of us. 700,000+ left without power for days, some for weeks. We've only seen a few inches at a time since then. We had some pretty cold days early last week, my little pellet burner was struggling to keep up. House is 1600sq ft, stove heats 1600 sq ft! As we all know the ratings are for average conditions. We've only burned just over a ton though, pretty lucky so far this year. Only spent about $250 to heat this place on pellets so far this year. How are you doing with the wood consumption?

I'm nowhere near the upper reaches, just North of the 49th. When Americans ask me what it's like, I say it's OK once we get the igloo built.PapaDave said:I have no idea what happens to you guys way up in the far reaches of upper super duper Coldanada. :ahhh:

My house has more windows than BeGreen's. When we were working on the design, the wife kept making them bigger and I kept shrinking them down. I never did get my way.
The stove is rear vented through two walls. 42" going from back of the stove, through one wall thimble, a closet under the stairs, then through the exterior wall thimble. Once outside, it takes a 90° and goes vertical 4' into a termination cap.HighHeat22 said:VCBurner where is your stoves exhaust pipe at ?.
PapaDave said:north of 60, I've got a brother in law who says anybody who lives above the 45th parallel suffers from permanent brain freeze. After living this far north for over 5 years, I'm starting to believe him. :lol:

Sorry Jake, but snow WITH the cold doesn't help. It just means I get to freeze my arse off while plowing. My wife thinks I go out there to play with my tractor. Next snow may be her turn. :coolgrin:
