I have been adding wood every few hours to keep the stove at a high temp all day. I have accumulated about 5-6 inches of coals, so now that the temps outside warmed up to 20 (8 wind chill), I am raking the coals forward and leaving the air all the way open trying to burn them down. I searched past threads and found it to be the best way to do it. It seems to be working. I have to make room for a full pack for overnight. (going down to 9deg tonight w/neg digits w/wind) The stove has been performing well, but struggles when winds are blowing 35-40 all day. I have a feeling oil will kick on tonight, which is ok. Stove room holding about 72 deg, and back bedrooms are holding around low to mid 60's. So far, so good, still learning. Keep warm ya'll.
