5/12/13. Just fired up the pellet stove again

[bbfarm]

I swear, winter just won't leave.

Cold and windy again today and frost warnings tonight.

Woke up to the furnace running this morning. We leave it set on 55 degrees as a backup to the pellet stove.

So I just fired up the pellet stove again. Sure glad I am a procrastinator and didn't do the final cleaning and maintenance on it yet.

Hello

We stopped using the pellet stove in the main house. The split entry living space upstairs is warmer especially with the end gables blocked with insulated doors for the winter.

I do use the pellet stove in the shed/workshop to take the chill out early in the mornings and at night still. Also when working in the garage I put that pellet stove on especially when painting to make a nice warm place for the paint to dry and also when it is raining outside it makes a nice warm dry area inside. I do not use many pellets to heat these areas, the Santa Fe's are real stingy on the pellets especially connected to a T-Stat.

Been 2 weeks since my last fire.

I left the stat set at 70, (falls to 67* it will kick on). Well, last night before bed, the stove fired. Then fired several times throughout the day today and is on now.

I love my t-stat I'm really gonna love my new stove.

Quad....

Right now it is 47.7 Deg F outside and 69.8 Deg F inside our livingroom with no heat. Weather.com is a little high according to my digital thermometer. It is not 52 outside! ! !

What is your outside temp?
About 39 Deg F or really lower? So with no heat your room fell to 67 Deg F?

Right now we still loose alot of heat and get blasted with cold air from our vintage 1962 wood panel garage door! It's R value is = 0.31 In the process of getting some relief!

I haven't lit the pellet stove for a month! Highs in the 80s, lows in the fifties. I'm glad I live in the Pacific NW!

33 out right now. 25 is our low for the night. Almost took the stove out to the shed for a tear down and deep clean. Wife wanted it out last week when it was 75 degrees out. 3 bags of pellets later she changed her tune. I have a half full hopper and one bag left. After that we're gonna have to snuggle.

I turned up the Nat. Gas furnace this morning, upper 30's here. The furnace is 96% efficient and gas is cheap here...It needs exercise to
