Well, the nut shells are in and now we have traded the wet weather for some cold.

The "stove shuffle" has begun for the winter.

Yesterday was a lovely day, but cool, and the little Whit was holding its own, buttttttttttttttt, last night the mercury fell to the low 20's F and it was a 2 stove night.

Both Whits burning happily and the temp inside at around 70F :)

I keep hearing that we are supposed to get plenty of cold and snow this winter ????????????????

Only Fools and newcomers make such statements ;)

We're getting our first blast of cold weather up here too. Was -4(25f) outside this morning when I got up! My whitfield was on all night at feed rate 1 blower speed 2, kept the upstairs at 68. This is my first winter with a pellet stove, it came with the house we bought, so far wife is loving being warm in the house for a change :) Will be curious to see what my daily pellet usage is this week.

What type of shells are you using? Are burning 100% shells or a mix?
 
Interesting. what kind of BTU's and burn times do you get from the shells? Do they just get added into a load of wood as a mixture?
