Well, after almost a month of relative cold weather (20's F at night) and little to no precip, the worm has turned.
Yesterday the weather turned really wet and windy (normal for this season) and now the temps are in the 50's.
Got up this morning, walked into the family room and WHOA, 75F in the house.
Flipped the off switch on the Big Whit and headed over to the Living room and fired up the little whit.
Just way too warm for the large stove. Been shoveling two 5 gallon pails of shells a day through the big boy since last month.
The little one can do the job fine with this warm weather.
I prefer the house to be around 69-70 not 75 plus.
This will give me a good opportunity to clean the big stove well.
Been doing a "Hot cleaning" every week and keeping the beast on line.
Letting it cool off completely now and then later today it will get a good cleaning out.
Glad to see the warmer weather, as this will really save on the fuel useage.
