Haven't heard the furnace run for over a month now. Zero propane usage ( I'm lovin that). My old Aunt Sarah is keeping the house at a minimum of 70. I am using more wood the last 3 days however. They're talking rain friday night..LOL
house is staying plenty warm but I have run the furnace a little over the past couple days with the vents in the basement open. Don't want to offset my saving with a bill from the plumber!!
5 degrees here and I am up early to reload.........falls below 70 inside when the blower goes off but then again its only an insert. Plenty of hardwood on hand so keep it coming I got it coveredSo with all of the LOWWWW temps up north I am wondering how you guys are making out and the stoves are performing? Any Buck stove owners?
Been a very cold winter and the whole Island just went through a weekend without power. Still having rolling power outages due to the high consumption. This little pic has been making it's rounds on social media,

I did need to run the furnace yesterday to thaw out my shower's pipes. It turns out that I have a warm air output pipe from the furnace that dumps under my shower to keep the pipes warm. I'll need to run the furnace now and again during really cold weather to prevent further freezing. Shouldn't need to do this except during sub -15 weather.
To increase heat flow up the stairs, have you tried putting a table fan on the floor at the top of the stairs, pointing down the basement steps and running it on low speed? Blowing cold air down low will increase the flow upstairs at the top of the doorway.we are doing ok considering -30 windchill and n-10 outside. heating 1900 sqft fromt the basement. we sleep in basement so all is well..about80 down here (usually 90). upstairs however is only reaching 65 (59 when waking up in mornings) and i cant get it much higher (as long as it is 10-25 and above outside it will stay close to 70 upstairs...) No supplemental heat is being used.
It's cold , it's winter, it's great.So with all of the LOWWWW temps up north I am wondering how you guys are making out and the stoves are performing? Any Buck stove owners?
