The temps people will endure....

I'm either picky or spoiled... 72.....+-2 variance .......anything else, I made an error. I hate being hot in the winter, seems counter intuitive, like being cold in the summer.

Some worse case scenarios:

"....bedrooms temps are in the 50's by morning." It doesn't get colder than -8 here, so I understand that many face much harsher conditions. But I would have to get a burn barrel for the back room if it came to that.

".....stove room is 90, feels great....". I'd be naked on the front porch, drinking a cold one.

I've endured much worse, but Uncle Sam was in charge. This is my house.....72....+-2......

As I said, "anything else, I made an error." And I do, but I'm not very tolerant of them. I was much steadier with the old smoke dragon (when it was in the old house), but I'm learning.

That's why I love my wood stove, I can easily keep it in the 70's in the living room and kitchen and the bedrooms can stay cold, just the way I like it!

We keep our bedrooms cooler too, "zone heating"
