I can't justify it
Oil tank is full, if it needs to kick on, it can kick on.
Lows of 40F - 45F here in the Hollow overnight.

Yes, I started doing the math and workload review. We now run the heatpump more. We've still had some morning fires because we are home all day, but the heat pump handles 40º weather easily and cheaply. I was stubborn about wood only heating for many years, but my age and back have made me wiser too.It's a far, far cry from 5 years ago, when all I had was the wood stoves, BG. Wayyyyy smarter, older, and way, way, wiser
I picked up a PE for my SIL. It's supposed to go low 60s/low 40s for a few days coming up. I have to make sure the stove is safe, so for her sake I can't justify not burning.I can't justify it
Yeah, well, I just fired the PE off. 38F outside @ 7 PM
44F a few miles away Dix. Stove has been cold for a couple weeks. We use a quartz heater to take the chill out of the living room. It does the job, but I hate that its effect vanishes the second you turn it off.

Cold slinks into and settles in valleys and hollows.That's bizarre, the temp difference.
Justify and represent, Sistah!Yeah, well, I just fired the PE off. 38F outside @ 7 PM
Justify and represent, Sistah!
There is a low saddle on our drive, between two valleys, about 100 yds. from the house. When conditions are right you can feel the cool air pouring over the saddle.Cold slinks into and settles in valleys and hollows.
I'm expect Dix has felt plenty of cool air over the saddle too.
36 here tonight, and I'm just a couple miles from Dix.
I'm still going 24/7, but I switched from 24 hour loads of cordwood to 12 hour loads of pine branches and odds (you get a lot of airspace with all that small/odd stuff).
I got the oldie, but goodie. I had to score some tree guy wood today, but I managed to get her chimney swept. Hoping to get the stove un-crated and connected tomorrow. I may be starting an operations thread soon.A bit off topic but did you succeed in getting the old series D or is it a new LE?
