COLD this morning!

[Crowbar]

Loaded up today, got the after burners going.. top on insert reading 650= no rodents, no insects, or any other nasties in the chimney. All potential critters destroyed, all doubts about efficiency erased. All-in-all- it is a go for this coming winter. ;-P

What do you use to get your temp? I'm looking for a good thermometer for an insert.

And to keep the thread on-topic, I was just commenting to the wife it's getting chilly.

Just one of those cheap magnetic jobs--wait --I will go and check and see what it says.

Okay, I`m back, do you realize that you just took a year off my life running down those stairs and back up again--or maybe added a year ;-) just kidding--cap letters Imperial, and small letters Kel Kem. I think last year it only cost me 15 bucks.

When winter comes I will do the oven test for accuracy. cause so far it reads 475 when the secondaries kick in and about 150 when the blower stops. my insert has a 6" shelf , so I can place it right on the top and in the middle where the heat rises.

I do believe it to be quite accurate, and so far am relying on it for good guidance.

The wife and I keep saying that wea re going to be paying for this wonderful August weather. Will it be a bloody hot indian summer or a brutally cold winter, time will tell.

Thanks! Canadian tire sells a thin magnetic one that is supposed to go on a woodstove pipe, I guess it would work on the top of an insert eh.

I've seen some on ebay but haven't decided on one yet.

I saw my breath yesterday morning here in CT. It was chilly, and made me go check a few deer stands to make sure they are ready for the upcoming season.

Things are a mite bit chilly up this way as well . . . and I noticed that some of the maples in the bogs have started turning color . . . and I even heard a few geese fly by when I was taking a break from cutting up firewood on Saturday.

I saw some geese flying on August 9 and thought that was odd. Shouldn't they have been in molt then?

We've had several nights into the 40's and last night was the coldest. We put an extra blanket on during the night and the house was all closed up too. I got up this morning thinking it was hunting season already!

Ah, the freakin' geese. I had to literally shovel away geese dung to create path on the green last night so I could putt All the while they were watching me... always watching...
