Last Saturday saw a dusting of snow, sunday saw a little more and it was cool/cold enough that the snow did not melt off.
The Big Whitfield handled the duty with ease keeping the 2400Ft shack here comfy.
Monday dawned with a little more snow and still the one stove was getting by. By Monday night it was a different story, brought the little Whit online and ran both stoves all night.
Tuesday morning saw the power fail, and what was to be only a 1-1/2 hour outage (power co statement) turned into an all day event.
Took both Whits and the quad to bring the temps back up to the cozy level within a couple hours.
By Weds the snow is melting off and we had torential rains though the day and much warmer.
Shut the little whit off and all was well.
Thursday brought severe valley flooding and more warm temps.
By Thursday evening the house was at 73f with one stove, and by Friday morning it was at near 80F in the house.
Shut the large whit down at 6am and around 8 cleaned the little Whit good and brought it on line set on low.
The little whit has been chugging along now and keeping the house around 69-70F .
Weather folks say possible Snow again tomorrow, so by tonight I will likely swap the duties back to the large Whit and see what happens.
I do love the ability to swap the heat source between stoves, with a large one and a little one.
Having the Quad as a fall back just in case it really gets cold or to help in the case of a power failure and having to bring the temps back from the "frigid Zone" (50F in here after the outage) is a real plus for sure.
Can't have too many stoves ya know.
Well its Saturday morning and its wet outside with more rain forcast for the weekend and into next week.
Just really happy to have plenty of shells in the basement, as it looks like the remainder of this winter is going to be Wild, wet and windy.
Hope all the little Pellet piggy's have plenty of fuel and good luck with their stoves.
Keep warm
