Briansol- don't think you're doing anything wrong. Its been very cold the past few days. I myself have been running a woodstove and my pellet stove upstairs where on normal CT winter days (35-40 day, 20-30 nites) the woodstove handles the load quite well. I have a R/R wood and pellet stoves downstairs, pellet insert upstairs. We like it around 70-75 (espec the wife) and I admit when I get in late at night my old bones like the wood heat too. We have a couple of registers in the floor to balance the upstair/downstairs heat transfer, still need one more down our hallway. Have seen your posts before, but don't remember your house area heated. A Winslow at 40K BTUs will heat nicely around 1500 sqft on "normal cold", prob around 800-1000 in super cold- ala now. Stove sounds like she is doing her thing. I'm reading all these postings and while I too like my pellet stoves, the real heat hammers are still the wood stoves, especially steel stoves. All stay warm.

Enviro EF3 FS pellet
Enviro Empress FPI AC pellet
Enviro Kodiak 1700 FS wood (pounding out heat at the moment)
-4 here at 6 AM and 73 in front to rear cathedral ceiling living room with ceiling fan.
Stove was on 2 / 4 for the night. Fine settings 6-4-1 for you Englander stove folks.
Its the Cubex granules de bois franc! they are hot hot hot. 320 air coming out of the stove no kidding.
Keep looking, I saw somersets in Epping NH Lowes just before Christmas.
They are nice pellets.
gotta love that locust for the overnight burns.
Thanks, I'll check it out when I get back from NJ Sunday. Did you grab any?
It was 6 degrees above here this morning, 71 upstairs and 73 downstairs.......gotta love that locust for the overnight burns!!
I'm actually looking forward to some REAL cold weather, for an extended period of time. If it gets too mild, too early, and stays around, that's bad for making maple syrup (last year was HORRIBLE for making the syrup). I'd love to see a deep freeze for a month or more, but looking at the next week's weather forecast here in central PA, it's not looking like that's gonna happen at all this month.....
Gearing up to be a lousy sugaring season.....
2 degrees this am and 68 inside at 4:30. By 5:30 the old Garrison had the house up to 72.
Very nice for an old fart of a stove.
I know, and the long-term doesn't look too cold either.......unless we get a good cool-down soon, it's gonna be a lousy sugaring season AGAIN....think its going to warm up next week.

Briansol- Ok on your setup- still think the Winslow is doing well within its design- your convection blower cleaning refered to earlier threads- taking the two hex bolts loose and slide it out can be cleaned pretty easily yeah quite a bit of stuff can be built up in the vanes a small brush or tooth brush style brush can clean it easily The Winslow blowers usually do well sometimes they have POF (proof of fire switches) that cause issues. Good luck with it.
