Snow and Bone Chilling -4 Deg F Artic Air coming this weekend - Will u need Backup heat? What Kind?

Survived a 7 degree night last night. Started off at 11pm @72 turned down to 2 on feed on blower woke up at 3 to pee and its down to 69 so I went to 3. Woke up to 70 when I woke up for breakfast.

Lost power for a couple hours last night, fired up the K1 portable and the oil lamps, came back on before bedtime. Made sure the Rev fired back up, went to bed. 10 degrees out this morning, somewhere between a trace and a dusting of snow, so much for the blast and blizzard. Not complainin'.

All pellets here. I have been running my pellet boiler all year long. I have probably used about 5 gallons of fuel oil this year when i've shut the PB down for cleaning.

Come on this is winter after all..

Hello

Well 71 in my livingroom this AM but went from 2 to 3 heat setting on the pellet stove to maintain the temp last night before bed!

Well Monday morning is still forecasted to be the coldest morning by TV Ch. # 9 Manchester NH but the revised temp is higher than the original forecast.

Forecasted Low Temp for Monday Morning!

TV Ch. # 9
Original Revised
-4 Deg F 5 Deg F

Fairpoint did not revise their foreast on the Web. I think they do not care to do more work. No One's Rep at Stake here!

Original

So we will see?

4 degrees this morning(-3ºF with wind chill). Stove never broke a sweat! Just burning shoulder pellets! Easy peasy even!

When I opened the drapes to the sliding glass deck door and took a look it was 6.1 and my birds were marching back and forth with picket signs that read, "Honk if you hate hard water".

13 here this am i lost a little it dropped back to 71.... upstairs 67 not gonna blame the pellets just yet i rather blame the auto clean

You need a true auto clean one that continues the burn.

i cant say that i really hate the auto clean feature because i have never seen a clinker yet. im assuming that was their reason for adding it?

you running auto or manual?

whats your thermostat placement like?

auto i set the temp to 81 and it coasts on 75 pretty steady. learning your stat is pretty important i found out.

set at 81 and coasts on 75 running auto.

must be running in hi or med hi?

Should da could da woould da. Clean on the fly and sweating here! ;-) And I aint even burning the good stuff even!

Let me at them Trebio's and I'll have to open the winda's! :cheese:

bring that stove here and let the cards lay where they may... in fairness to the Mt Vernon i gotta add the OAK have been to lazy and i know your not heating 3000sqft

and dont forget the fact im a newb and probably doing everything wrong lol

ya hi to med hi at 3 bucks a bag i could care less though really like i said she abuses pellets last year with oil we were set on 66 this year she wants it 90

if i was paying 5 or 6 a bag i wouldnt let her abuse them

5 above, wind chill -13 no problem.I guess the ground hog was right 6 more weeks of winter.

I'll let you use a real stove when I upgrade to my furnace!

Well..... Its about 73° now (set back to 70° at night) Furnace was on the rise in the pic.

The thing I love the most, is the even temps. Our room is still the coldest (about 1°, cant tell) but it only has one register that feeds into our Master Bath, then comes through the doorway, and finally out of our room (lots of square ft there). The thing that keeps the temp even is that Tjernlund Aireshare. We just close the door and flip it on at night..... Wa-Laa

Its about 1° warmer in the kitchen/living room area, because that register is the best flowing. But it has to heat both of those rooms, as they are connected basically.

Otherwise, no complaints, ……… O.K..... I have one, I miss the Fire upstairs. Granted I am downstairs a couple times a day feeding the Wood eater, but I do miss the Quad purring along. Oh well... Just me griping. ;-P

The furnace thing is nice... Nice indeed!

^^^^^SHOW OFF!^^^^^^ :cheese: hehe!

Not this year maybe next. I have extended the time my Omega hangs out down there. Still hoping Enviro comes out with a furnace.

I think mid life is calling again. Might sell off the 2 boats I got now and get one that does both big/small lakes. Priorities, toys come first! hehe!

It dropped to zero here last night. I didn't notice until we went out for a late night pizza dinner, lol.

just an update for you!

3 days of below zero wind chills with the regular temp at zero and -10 to -15 at night and no supplement heat needed.

The St Criox did just fine and we didn't even turn it up. Just kept it on the medium heat setting number 3. house stayed at 73 in the stove room and 65 in ajacent rooms.

Been using only the stove at setting 4 of 6.

Keeping the house at a toasty 62.

Since when is 62 toasty?

Wifey would be heading for the skillet cupboard! 62 ain't even warm. This is warm! Actually hot for me and my son, But warm for the wifey.
