I knew it was an awesome heater, but ...
Wind chill of 15F here in Icey Hollow today. Loaded up the PE before I left for work, shut her down at 8:30 AM. late night at work, then barn duty. I was gone for 11 hours. Murphy was shivering (fox terrier, loves heat ) when I got home .
Tenant was off today, and maintained the 13. He came in to my side at 5 PM, and just put 2 splits in the PE,walked the Murph, never opened the air (he didn't know that the stoves work differently, since rectified that problem, explained air control, etc). I came home to smoldering insert and 58F house.
Rectified the PE smoldering issue, and waited for the PE to kick in. Tenant came in to see how things were going and asked why so cold in here? (Love the tenant, he's the Phillipino son I never had, a good friend of the Dixette ).
We opened the connecting door, I turned another ceiling fan on, and in 1 hour this place is up to 72F. temps in the apartment were 75F when we started this venture, and it's still 75F in there..Tenant was in a T shirt and flip flops when he came in, I was sitting here in thermals, jeans, turtleneck, sweat shirt, and 2 layers of thermal socks
Update, as I've posted, temps up to 74F in the main house with 20F plus wind chill outside!
Couldn't have done it with out seasoned firewood
