Hi all,

Stove on pellet feed 2 of 9 settings and blower on 4 of 9 settings and keeping the 1500 sq ft cape at 67.1 right now. May have to crank it up another notch before bed. How are you doing? Thanks

Heating my cape from the still uninsulated basement. Currently around 4 deg, windchill -13 (edit 7:46 PM). Damn it's howling out there!
Was set to 3, stove temp, while gone at work. Came home to 1st floor at 58 deg. Cranked to 5 of 7. Heat is coming up nicely, should level off around 68-72 on 1st floor, 2nd floor around 60-61 where the bedrooms are. Quite comfy for me.
Will bring it back down to 4 at bedtime.

16 degrees here, and windchill has it down to about -1....brrrrrrrrr.

Stove burning CleanFires has the great room and kitchen right at 70 degrees, but because I have so many glass panels (8 full glass door panels, plus 4 regular windows) and 17' ceiling, I have the stove cranked up to 8.....it's roaring! LOL

Glad I bought the HHO at $2.29/gal....it's keeping the outer areas of the house warm.

The new dog is helping with my feet at night too! Who remembers the rock group 3 Dog night?? I believe that was an Australian saying for a really cold night!! :lol:

[fadippides]

7 degrees here, 2650sqft with a large great room and 2 story foyer. Stove is on room temp so I assume its going full blast, for the most part it holds it at 67 but the geothermal kicks in once in a while to provide a boost and keep it there. Furnace fan is on to help circulate.

 

[smoke show]

balmy here in the frozen tundra 2 above with winchill

 

[rottiman]

Crisp Clear Moonlight night here. Current temp is -14 and thankfully the wind died down tonight. Both stoves humming along on #3, house is 70 degrees. All is well

 

[krooser]

Right at 1F here... pretty strong winds yesterday but they were a bit quieter today. High in the 20's tomorrow... it's 74F in the living room... the stove's on 3... uses about 40% more pellets than on my usual #2... but I'm warm.

I have the ol' NG radiant tube heater going in the shop... I keep it about 50F at nite and step it up a bit when I'm out there during the day... still looking for the $$$ to buy a used pellet burner for the shop.

Full moon and clear skies, too. I swear I saw my ex riding her broom in the moonlight...

 

[tinkabranc]

It is currently 14 °F here but windchill is -8 °F .

Keepin the house a toasty 74 °F upstairs and down.

20 deg here 3000+ sqft home and the harman is cooking, room temp set to 77 deg with a feed rate of 3. First floor is at 77 deg second floor is at 66.... life is good!

 

[sydney1963]

Cranked it up to 3 of 9 pellet feed rate and 5 of 9 room blower and still holding at 66.9 degrees in the house. 6 degrees and dropping outside (4 degrees by morning), wind still cranking.

 

[mainegeek]

5 deg here. Probably closer to -15 with wind chill..... and boy is it windy!

I had to drive from Bangor to Waterville this morning in this crap! What should have taken me 40 min took me almost an hour and a half! Why is it the plows clean the passing lane on the I95 but barely clean the driving lane? I found myself driving mostly in the passing lane until I had to move over to let someone pass.

I actually got home to no power. The house was 62 deg; according to our neighbor we lost power twice today with the last time being about 1 hour by the time we got home. I found the pellet stove empty and the UPS power just wasting away. We grabbed some flashlights, candles, filled the pellet stove, and shut off the UPS in order to save the juice just in case the outage was extended and we needed heat later on in the evening (no generator yet). Luckily, power came back on around 6:30p. The stove has been running nonstop since then...

Now, we're considering purchasing a couple marine batteries and some starting gel to run the stove when we lose electricity for an extended period of time.... at least until we get our Generac generator!

 

[ChandlerR]

8 degree's here, still windy. Stove is putting along. Burning Oakies, feed setting at 4 out of 6. I'm still on room temp and the stove cycles from low to #4. Living room temp is hovering at 70. Bring on the cold!

.... at least until we get our Generac generator!

Sorry to hear about the power and the cold house. What model Generac are you going to get? Whole house? Portable?
